I have a high-end turntable and playback system (very nice speakers, as well as planar magnetic headphones), and I listen to my vinyl both directly and vinyl-ripped-to-digital (i.e. a CD). I do like what vinyl does to the sound, often combined with the better mastering that was done back in the day, as compared to the brick-wall mastering most albums are put through nowadays.

I have done a few experiments in the past where I play vinyl “live” and switch (a/b/x) to a a vinyl->CD rip, and I cannot tell the difference. Nor can my friends.
