LPs can sound better than their silver disc counterpart, but I don't find that to be the rule, per se. And really, the only way anyone can make that comparison is if they have both the vinyl and CD of the same recording to compare.
I've always felt that it's more costly to get into a vinyl rig than CD because you have the expense of the table (hopefully it comes with an arm), cartridge and phono preamp.
Don't know how much you're looking to spend, but you could probably get into a Rega P3 and Bellari phono pre for a few hundred bucks (assuming bought used) to see what vinyl is all about. And if you decide to get into records, don't forget about the cleaner you'll also need. Or you can just wash them in the sink.
Good luck.
