The best sound quality I have heard, hands down, was from vinyl played through a high end system. A CD on that same system was spectacular, but it did not have the warmth and natural, organic tone that vinyl produces. We can argue all day on what is technically better, but given the right playback equipment, vinyl is incredible. One of the records we played was Smackwater Jack by Quincy Jones, this recording is so incredibly dynamic on vinyl, it literally makes you jump out of your chair. And it's an all analogue process, recording to mastering to playback (discounting digital processing you may have in your playback equipment).
Problem is the format is very delicate, and wears itself out the more you use it.
