Agreed! But I still prefer vinyl. Cleansed records on a decent table will not have pops or hiss. It's a pain in the rear-end but I still prefer it. There are days when I'm lazy or don't have a copy on vinyl - that's when I play the cds.
The soundstage is massively wide and emanates beyond the speakers. The science may tell us it's not as exacting as digital and although I believe this, I prefer that glorious soundstage. It's also a warmer sound. Btw, there is nothing wrong with trying to have a verbiage or language to represent how things sound. If we humans didn't have a language to express ourselves, we probably wouldn't have the ability to know if things sounded different in the first place.
