Basswise, 33 rpm vinyl is between a rock and a hard place: Put in too much bass and the stylus skips, put more than say 18 minutes of music on each side and you get less and less bass frequencies. When I changed from vinyl to CD in the early 90ies, I started hearing stuff on old recordings (I had heard a myriad times on vinyl) that I had never noticed before. The prominence that the kick drum has gained in the last decades in most kinds of music is unthinkable with vinyl, those thrash metal bass drum attacks really only work on CD. Likewise, a lot of the downtuned, grungy stuff.
I understand the visual and lifestyle appeal of vinyl (nothing compares to holding an LP sized gatefold sleeve in your hands while listening to the music), but as a quality medium for music there is really no contest with a CD, especially if you value audible bass frequencies.
