In some ways I agree Tommy, in other ways I disagree.
The problem with Records is their method of transferring that analogue data to sound again. Even the slightest speck of dust could ruin the whole experience. Also, recording a record does not 100% mirror the sound wave you recorded. The substrate you are cutting into is prone to warping, cracking, and expansion and contraction all causing distortion to the original recording.
Yes, CDs are compressed, and therefore, inherently flawed if you are looking for pure sound. The solution to this is simply sampling more often. I guess my question to you is, how do you feel about Vinyl vs DVD Audio ? I guarantee on any given sound system, DVD Audio with it's insane sample rate, would blow the doors off of even a pristine piece of vinyl.
So, while I do agree, that in a straight standard bitrate CDAudio vs a pristine Vinyl recording, the Vinyl wins by a long shot, but keeping vinyl in that condition is not practical for what you do gain.
Also, if you are playing the music through anything costing less than $2000, you aren't gaining anything by listening to Vinyl. I prefer my music a bit more... portable.
