Yep, some of them are so good they come up to level about 5% of that
of a cheap CD player.
About as good as a 64kbps mp3 file, then? 
Only if you add wow, flutter, rumble, tics, pops, distortion etc. to that MP3
file. Once did that to a 128kbs MP3 to see how many people preferred it to the
CD it was taken from (without telling them what I was playing of course) No
surprise there were a few. :-)
Izotope´s old "Vinyl" plug-in is still around and has even been "renewed"
somehow some years ago... so, there´s also a bit of "vintage digital" for those,
who are mainly after "vintage" whatever...

I had thought of using Vinyl to alter some pristine files and call them 'Before'
and name the originals as 'After' and send them to my audio geek buddies to show
off my restoration skills.
I don't think many would figure out how it was done. Never did get around to
doing it though.
