Just my two cents, I had two records of Norah Jones (Come Away with Me)one in 200gram Classic Records and 180gram Blue Note Record. Both records sounded inferior to the CD version. So if you're judging your vinyl setup against your cd setup using Norah Jones as the source, you're not fully hearing what your vinyl rig can really do. The Norah record versions on my system sounded somewhat flat, distant, too laid back and not as precise in soundstaging, very withdrawn. The CD version is much better in all areas. I have a hunch the recording/masteering of this vinyl was not up to par.
Also, I never felt that one format is superior than the other, it really depends on the recording. Both formats can sound awesome if only each format was mastered/recorded well to begin with. So choose your recordings, not the format.
