Your fiancee sees, quite perceptively, that what is starting as a modestly pricey entree into vinyl could become a very expensive obsession.To be honest you are on somewhat sketchy ground here. You don't have any vinyl records, your tastes are largely contemporary, and I'll bet your Rega setup won't "beat" your CD player.
Regarding digital vs analog, digital recordings are typically done at much higher standards that redbook CD 48.8/16 bit, then are dithered (i.e. compressed) to CD standards at the mastering stage. So there *is* a point to having vinyl versions of digital recordings.
(BTW there still are artists that record and mix on analog, and go to vinyl with no digital step. Not a lot, but some.)
For my part, I think that CD and vinyl each have a certain sonic signature, neither of which is "better" than the other. Good quality vinyl on an excellent turntable and phono pre probably "beats" the best CD reproduction, but even this is arguable.
