In my opinion a high quality(doesn't mean super expensive) properly setup turntable will outperform any cd and any cd playback system.
I was floored when I heard my first record on a high quality system about a year ago. I am not kidding when I say that there is an openess, transparency, dynamic expression, and musicality that cannot be touched by CD. Analog just sounds right.
If you don't believe me do what I did. Take your cd player to a dealer that sells turntables and A/B them. Like me I suspect you will never go back.
Also, there are plenty of great re-issues out pressed on 180g/200g vinyl. These things are as quiet as digital.
Lastly, vinyl is more work but it is also a lot more fun.
