I listen to rockabilly, psychobilly, punk, Indie, New Wave etc and I DJ in those styles. Vinyl sounds vastly different and far better to me and my CD player and vinyl go through the same mixer/amp/speakers.
But thats not my point.
On a different note, if you are a serious collector, there are huge anamolies between vinyl and CD.
For example, The Meteors 'wrecking crew' CD has all three tracks that Russell Jones sings on removed. The Anagram compilation 'revenge of the killer pussies' has all tracks by The Stingrays removed. Often the original versions of songs are ONLY on the vinyl, replaced by shabby versions on CD. Most of this is due to legal reasons and fall-outs I assume.
Now it doesnt matter if you have heard of these bands or not, by inference this must occur in all music styles.
I would add that when I DJ people often ask me if they can look at my vinyl and stand looking at it as if they have found the dead sea scrolls
