lately I've been downloading mostly digital versions of vinyl rips. so long as it's a quality rip, the sound is usually quite superior.

I started last year but am currently out of a job so I'm on hiatus...

16 bit 44.1khz kills most of the vinyl sound.
But you do run into some nice rips.
Often the mastering has been done differently for the vinyl version, less limiting, less accent on higher tones. It usually makes for a relaxed listen.
Still I get the idea most of the vinyl rips are done from cheap ass USB turntables and budget technics, pioneers with stock cartridges. It's nice people take the effort, but in that case my CD player is just better.

I usually grab 24bit's from good setups.

Left:

A few of them I don't recognize

Todd Rundgren
Jackson Browne
Paul McCartney & Wings - Band on The Run
Rod Stewart
Bruce Springsteen (& The E Street Band) - Born to Run
Traffic - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
Tres Hombres - ZZ Top
Elvis Presely - Elvis Gold Records
Rockpile - Seconds of Pleasure
Willie Nelson
Greetings From Asbury Park

Right:

Marshall Crenshaw
Pink Floyd - Animals
The Drifters
The Eagles - Hotel California
ABC
George Benson
The Everly Brothers - A Date With

You have Seconds of Pleasure! I don't hear too many people mentioning Rockpile. They were probably one of the most underrated band from the UK. Too bad it didn't work out for them.
