It's similar to people who think DABradio sounds better because it is
"digital".

Or those who think vinyl is better because it's analogue.

They
don't know why but think they are expected to say it is better.

As you said.

I would love to see vinyl recorded with low bitrates and
compression/limiting.

Vinyl is analogue, so any reference to "bitrates" is meaningless. But of
course all records have always used compression and limiting. It's only a
matter of how and how much. Pop 45s have always had masses of compression.

Why not record a MP3 track straight to vinyl and listen to the difference.

Eh? what are you talking about?


What can be done, if you have the time and inclination, is record vinyl
to a digital file. It then becomes digital.

As to why people want to do this . . . well, a friend has asked me to
record some vinyl to digital, and then CD, so her mum can listen to the
music. Brass band music - Black Dyke Mills Band, 1968. Quality seems
pretty good to me - used the latest version of Audacity, very good
indeed IMO.
