Proper mastering makes all the difference in the world. Personally I think a well mastered CD (check out the stuff from DCC, Audio Fidelity, or MoFi) is ALWAYS better than equivalent vinyl if you have good playback equipment. Hi-res digital 24/96 and above is essentially master tape quality.The "crispness" IMO is a reflection of the resolution capability, not something to be treated with contempt.There will always be vinyl ("analog is better!") supporters and I'm sure the big companies are happy in perpetuating this. A few bucks in vinyl is better than no bucks at all. From a sound quality perspective, I think this is all subjective. Proper mastering makes all the difference in the world.

I have now ripped all my lps to my pc and they sound so much better than the cd rip..

That's not really the point. Those of us who love vinyl don't want a digital rip of it, we want the real thing. You can never download vinyl.

MP3's ripped from vinyl are still MP3's. I have ripped some of my vinyl, and it still doesn't sound as good as the actual record.
