Repeat after me: "My name is Elizabeth and I am a Vinyl-holic."
Mind telling us where your "local area" is so we can shop there too? I guess L.A.
That is a lot of vinyl. If each record is 35 minutes long and you listened 4 hours a day it would take you 4 years to listen to every record.
To the original question; a moderately expensive vinyl rig based on the P25 with a comparable cartridge and phono stage will reveal things that even the most expensive CD player can't. However, as pointed out, whether you consider that to be superior is up to you. My vote would be yes. In my experience vinyl is the superior medium if you are willing to spend the time with the requisite maintenance.
Bear in mind that you will need to consider:
1. purchasing a cleaning machine if you intend to purchase used vinyl and it is still good to have with new records,
2. the ongoing debate over which fluid and machine and technique is the best
3. new vinyl is expensive and used vinyl will result in a number of rejects due to imperfections not visible to the eye,
4. for some records there have been a large number of pressings and some sound significantly better than others,
5. you lose the convenience of a remote to change/skip tracks
6. you have to flip the record halfway through the album,
7. you can become obsessive and continuously fret over whether you have optimized all settings such as VTA, tracking force, azimuth, etc.
8. records are much more easily damaged than Cds, there is no error correction for records
Other than that it is the perfect medium.
