VINYL SUCKS!

Generalizations suck! 
In my room some recordings sound better in digital format and others in analog format. As somebody mentioned above, the native recording format tends to be the best playback format. But, even that observation is a rule of thumb, not a natural law. Both formats have virtues and limitations.
I have no data to support this observation, but I suspect there are generational dynamics at work in determining one’s preferences. I grew up on vinyl, and prefer analog. Many of my younger audiophile friends grew up on CDs and prefer digital. 
In a comment above, someone recommended one focus on one or the other format in constructing a system. I think there’s wisdom in that recommendation. I focus on vinyl playback, but recently added a streamer/server to the mix. I like this digital source for auditioning music new to me and for those occasions when I don’t want to mess with the rituals of vinyl playback. This works out fine, as not every listening session should be burdened by the often frustrating criteria most audiophiles bring to music appreciation. :-) With that, I am content and enjoying the music, which is, after all, the point.

It's a matter of opinion. But I will say the new vinyl ordinary releases, ie sold at Target, etc, don't sound as good as the older vinyl quite probably because we are being duped by Vinyl made from digital masters. The premium vinyl, like Dino on 45 RPM, sound fantastic. But if you don't like getting up every 25 minutes, you sure are not going to tolerate 45 RPMs.
And the cost between $35-50-125 are worth the sound, but are they worth the money???
I recently compared a CSN record new release to the digital (using hegel h590, and Monitor Audio Gold 300 5G) and the digital blew away the vinyl (on a VPI Prime 21 with Grado Sonata 3). However, some older records, like Mantovani sounded very nice. 
So is it worth blowing 50- $100 on new single releases?? 

Never vinyl. Only fine Corinthian Leather.

Best quote - “The inconvenience forces you to listen”.   Nailed it.

No point in giving you those titles. In each case, I have (had) multiple pressings, and the others don’t sound stone quiet.

In other words: sheer luck. Maybe you could go and pay $600 to that dude who does his “super duper stamper” thing and have him find one for you?

But for kicks, the Led Zeppelin IV remaster is one of them.

I am quite aware that I made a general statement. Over 52 years of listening to hundreds of systems, my (my) ears have found that to be generally true, regardless of components up or downstream, excepting the room component which can wreak havoc with otherwise best laid plans as you are undoubtedly aware.
