I use vinyl playback because I have a lot of vinyl, and sometimes come across a rare recording in vinyl. Those are usually historical enough that fidelity isn't the point anyway.
I've always thought digitally mastered recordings were a general improvement even when the distribution medium was vinyl. There are individual exceptions, of course.
I bought MFSL LPs in the day because they were less likely to be degraded by worn-out stampers, etc. And their CDs seemed to be degraded by excessive processing less than the major labels. But I would never spend that much for vinyl.
