Quote:We're basically saying the same thing with different conclusions.  Digitizing can produce sound almost identical to an analog recording in theory, but most digital formats don't go that far because of bandwidth restrictions.  The reality is that most digital music (be in CDA, MP3, m4a, ogg, or even the so-called lossless formats like FLAC, etc) will not sound as good as a decent vinyl recording because they're reformats of the source CD material.  On the other hand, if every digital track was reproduced from the analog source (as is Dolby True-HD), then I'd agree that vinyl records are redundant, but 99.99999% percent of digital music on the market aren't of that quality.
