Yes, I go back to the days of vinyl and reel to reel copies of vinyl. I too shirted to making copies on cassette's to listen to my vinyl collection in my car. I really held off buying a cassette until I started collecting and taping live concerts. I shifted to DAT's back in 1989, and too, was blown away by the copy quality. Next I moved to CDR and finally to a hard drive.
During the process I switched from live recording hobbiest to part time recording engineer, so the switch to digital was needed to record, mix and store.
I still make digital copies of my vinyl for casual and on the go listening access. I do it at 24/96 and agreed that what I hear is the character of my playback system and less of my recording system. Retipping a cartridge can get expensive, so, when I listening but multi-tasking a digital, high rez file works great.
It also gives me a great collections of what different cartridges sound like, as well as, tables that I have used and owned.
IMO, if care is taken through all steps of the recording, mixing and mastering processes a very, very good product can be made. At this point in time, the biggest issue is not the medium used to record on but, rather, what happens in the studio by ham fisted engineers.
I love analog and I love digital. Both have their greatness and both have their blemishes. When used properly both can be stellar.
BTW, I have still yet to hear anything that has approached "Direct to Disk".
