Well, if a vinyl record is played using a good turntable and cartridge, and if the record is in good condition, it is every bit as good as a CD.

Without quibbling too much over terminology, it is possible to have a recording on vinyl that has been digitally mastered. But you are asking about a comparison between music pressed onto a vinyl disc and music recorded and played back digitally. Many will say that the sound from a good quality vinyl record has a warmer quality than most digital recordings, but it is very likely that those who say it are from the generation that grew up with vinyl records. I think there is some truth to it. It may seem that vinyl is warmer because good vinyl recordings are so goodthat their slight lack of fidelity is mistaken for an intended effect of softness, much like the appeal of some photographs that are very slightly out of focus. However, I would not like to see a return to vinyl. Vinyl records are too prone to scratches, warps and other things that make them less desirable. Keep in mind that people who grew up with vinyl records didn't typically have high quality digital recordings to compare them to. The best vinyl records at the end of the vinyl era seemed to be as good as it could possibly get. Were we in for a surprise!
