Agreed,vinyl is a more dynamic medium than most CD & digital recordings due to compression ratios,digital has the ability to surpass the dynamics of vinyl over the full audible spectrum but due to bad engineers compressing too much dynamics get lost,I still buy new vinyl for that reason .
Here's a pic of my vinyl system,I've swapped TT's for a McIntosh MT-10 turntable since this pic was taken,the line arrays are Tri Amped with all solid state amps & a tube output stage preamp.

Here's our main digital system & the system I'm listening to now,the line arrays here are biamped with a pair of 1,000 watts @8 ohm monoblocks on the eight 12" woofers,then a single 2 channel 600 wpc @8 ohm stereo amp powering the 24 5" mids & 48 1" silk dome tweeters,this system will crack a window it thumps so hard

here's one of the dual line arrays from the digital system above.

and lastly here's a shot of our 4,800 watt @8 ohm home theater that uses no subwoofers & still hits well below 20hz.

the monoblocks above will push 1,200 watts continuous @8 ohms with dynamic peaks of over 4,800 watts @8 ohms,its a goofy angle so your seeing the side of where the screen projects.

pic above is of 1 of 4 of the dual line arrays in the home theater.
Here's a pic you'll get a kick out of since you mentioned Frank Zappa,here's a complete mint set of postages stamps from 1993 commerating Zappa's death still intact sitting atop one of the 4,800 watt monoblocks.
