New vinyl releases, I suspect, have more to do with marketing strategies than quality of the music.
If you already have a large collection of LPs I would consider paying the money for a good turntable. But only in that case.
For what matters, on my system (linn amps, naim cd, rega turntable), an old LPs always beats the CD version.
But as much as I love my old vinyls, I myself have not yet bought a new release in vinyl format. One day I should to check how they sound.
CDs I believe are close to be commercially dead, but will continue to live for many years in the houses of those who have lots of money invested in that format. Take my case, I have more or less 800 cds and I have no intention whatsoever to re-buy in whatever new format.
The future, who knows.

I have not made the switch back to vynil. Yet. Not even sure, I should. The audio is obviously so much better. But to be honest, I do 99% of my music listening on the run; in a car/van.

Made the switch two years ago. Now I only buy vinyl and digital downloads.

Going back to vinyl is a re-introduction to the music you love. A great experience I would reccomend to any Rock And Roll fan. It's like having a second life.
