As I have stated many times previously in many similar threads.
I do not even waste my time comparing vinyl to CD or streaming or cassette.
They are all individual and all depend on the quality of the source and the source material.
I just enjoy each medium as I hear it, or not in the case of a poor recording ... Lol.
Right now listening to a CD from 2016 and it sounds pretty darn good.
I also have vinyl by same artist, same label from 2015 and yes I would say the sq is more preferable to my ears on my rig but does not make the CD bad by any standards!
It does take more time and effort and usually expenditure to get vinyl to sound really good, most already know that.
Right now I am playing a $60 CD player, Nakamichi cd4, though a Peachtree Nova DAC and very happy with the SQ. Minimal cost and effort.
To exceed this SQ, my vinyl rig is many times the cost and requires periodic verification of the basic setup just to be sure.
You pays your money and you takes your chances.
