To me, the 'vinyl' issue is simple.
We could perform a little experiment.
Here we go...
Take a sound source that can be replicated. Let's use a digital synth
together with a sequencer.

There's an easier way.

Take your 'favourite' CD. Copy it to CD. If you do this properly there
will be no difference.

Agreed.

Now copy it to LP. Expensive yes, but I've done it. *Anyone* will hear the
difference between the original CD and LP copy.

This proves that LP isn't a clone of any master - and that's before the
mastering boys have got at it. And can't possibly enhance the original -
regardless of what the disciples say. It is adding distortion - in the
main.

A better test would be to use a higher quality recording and master it
to both LP and CD and compare.

That's been done - same results.

IOW take a technically higher quality master recording, say a 24/96 or
24/192 made under the best possible conditions.

Then re-record that master recording as a CD.

Here, listen to the comparison for yourself if you have a 24/96 capable
audio interface:

Then compare the CD to the origional master.

The results are that you can't hear the difference between the two.
