RE: Yes and no. . . .

FWIW, with my modest equipment, the vinyl LP is still superior to any digital format I've tried, including SACD and DVD Audio, in certain regards. at least with the acoustic classical music I listen to (and play myself).

A friend of mine bought a 1970s professional half-track, 15 ips tape deck from a thrift shop and had it rebuilt, total cost around $600. He then bought a few tapes (for $300 each, but with the tiny quantities they sell, you can't expect mass market prices) from an outfit called The Tape Project, including one that is very familiar to me -- Sonny Rollins' Saxophone Colossus.

Consumer digital audio, at least modestly priced consumer audio, has a long way to go to match that sound.
