As long as the sampling rate (44.1 kHz for CDs) is much higher than my upper limit (I think I'm still around 16 kHz, although without so many CRT TVs these days, haven't had confirmation on that for a while), the signals is not compressed, the signal is dithered and reasonable care was taken during the recording process, one can assert vinyl sucks.
I've been wondering - the sampling theorem assumes infinite resolution I think. Does the 16 bit depth really not interfere with it beyond dither noise?
