I always see the degradation argument.

I look after my vinyl with a properly calibrated turntable.

I will degrade faster than my records!

I have few vinyls that are from late 70's and it keeps playing like the first time. And I don't have a great turntable.

Unless you have one of those laser ones then that is physically impossible as there is always wear with each play, even if it is just a minute amount because there is always friction and degradation of the vinyl over time
