Analog vs Digital Confusion

Thinking about adding Analog to my system, specifically a Turntable, budget is about 5K but I'm having some second thoughts and I'm hoping someone can help, specifically, how can the record sound better? Scenario; an album is released in both CD and Record, the recording is DDD mixed, mastered, etc in the digital domain. It seems to me that to make the master record the process would involve taking the digital recoding and adding an additional D/A process to cut the record? So, bottom line, how can the record sound better than the CD played on compitent CDP?

Onhwy61 In the never ending pursuit of audio bliss, and from my personal observations vinyl is making a slow but steady comeback for that reason. Thanks for asking, I'm also entertaining the idea of valve amplification as well.

I thank all of the responders to this post. I can see where analog has advantages over digital. The only concern I have is the "ritual" one goes through in preparing vinyl for playback and having to flip the record after the limited amount of playback time that can fit on the record = 45min? Anyway, I would to give it a go, but would ask for recommendations on budget components that can still bring out that analog magic. My system would require cables,a phono stage and of course the table itself. I would look at used unless this audience does not recommend it. Thanks!
