Re: I suggest buying a few LPs of music SHE likes, and playing those for her...

Unless money is at issue here and the turntable and vinyl purchases have put something more important or more pressing on the back burner, I would think that you should be able to appease the soon to be Mrs. by some means.

As far as differences between CD and Vinyl on your system --- My system is modest relative to probably most folks here.
I have a MMF-5 table with Shure M97xE cart. Cornet phono-stage and a Jolida Hybrid integrated. My CD players are a Jolida 603, Dynaco CDV-2 and a Tjoeb 99, all tubed players.
I don't have a whole lot of Vinyl that I also have CD's of but do have a few. Some Johnny Winter, Led Zep, SRV, Black Sabbath, Rush, AC/DC and some others I have on both formats. In every single case there is an audible difference between the CD and the Vinyl versions and in every single case it is for the better IMO. Some more glaringly than others but always better. A very good example is the SRV LP's vs. their CD counterparts. It's not even close, I won't even listen to the CD's in the house because the LP's just flat out sound better. In fact, anything that I have on Vinyl as well as CD, I'll spin the LP at home and save the CD for the car because the LP's are just better sounding.
You mentioned SRV so if you have both formats, try it for yourself. It doesn't take golden ears either. In fact, one of the more dramatic examples is SRV's Tin Pan Alley on LP vs. CD. If you have them both, do a comparison. Maybe that will help your argument as a shining example.

Good Luck
