I would bet big money that the "airiness" audiophiles used to rave about is actually the faint high frequency hiss of fresh clean vinyl under a fresh clean needle. If vinyl sound and tube preamps are what you love then it makes a ton of sense to rip vinyl to FLAC and then spare the analog equipment!
