This should be in the psuedo-science section because that is exactly what this is,
Digital techniques are capable of storing the original recording with a MUCH greater fidelity than than vinyl records can - and that's before the inevitable degredation of the vinyl media through cutting by the diamond stylus.
I won't argue with someone who insists they like the sound of the record better because that's entirely possible . All it means though is that they prefer the sound of the distorted recording to the original.
The whole point of any recording process is to record the original with as great a faithfulness as possible. There is no physical way to do this better than through digital techniques. An analogue technique such as used by vinyl records is measurably inferior in every way. That's really the end of the story. Claiming vinyl records have any advantage in fidelity over CDs is in the same league as arguing for intelligent design or the sun orbiting around Earth. It is demonstrably false.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
