I'd say cars have destroyed it even more. The amount of noise inside of a car is really high and you lose a lot of the low end of the song. Many times I have showed a friend a song in their car only to find out the song sounds terrible now.

An interesting thing I heard is sometimes vinyls contain a different master that doesn't have the range squashed because people listen to vinyls in a better environment.

I've heard that music mastered for vinyl can't be over optimised for loudness as it will cause the stylus to jump out of the groove on playback.
And this is my first answer when people ask why I buy vinyls.
