Funny you mention Miles Davis on Columbia. You probably don't recall some information I posted some years ago about the Columbia reissue of Kind of Blue and how badly it had been mutilated.That's certainly not my experience at all. There are a huge number of CDs that sound utterly superb to my ears, e.g. just about anything by Miles Davis on Columbia.
PS If you always end up preferring vinyl then I'd suggest you have a system bias somewhere, e.g. your turntable has a tonal character that you have attempted to correct with speaker positioning etc which has made the flatter digital replay sound a little unbalanced. It's a trap I fell into for quite a few years!
It's not that I always end up preferring the vinyl. It is that with a good LP there is almost always a sense of realism - despite there being less detail, more noise and a reduced dynamic range - that digital just doesn't quite produce yet.
