How so?

"Reproduce it best" is probably somewhat subjective. To record an analog signal accurately does require analog recording. Digital can only approximate, but it is not "as accurate as possible". No matter the clock frequency of the digital recording equipment, one can only get a maximum (unachievable limit) of half of the signal. Probably it is closer to one quarter.
Now do not get me wrong, I am not dissing digital by any means. I have no vinyl at all. My CD collection is all crammed into iTunes through apple lossless compression and thrown into my ipod (160GB Classic) which goes everywhere with me. I could not do that with vinyl.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
