as a former apprentice sound engineer, I just don't believe that.
If you play your media on a decent NS-10 like speaker with a fairly good amp, you'll have pretty much what the mastering engineered mastered on.
Even tape has a better dynamic range than vinyl. Its like lomo photography, it does one thing very well, but is terrible for anything else. Yes it might sound pleasing, but it sucks for classical, anything with dynamic range, or anything that needs "room presence" as in recorded in a good sounding venue. close harmonies? yeah nah. drums with lots of cymbals? good luck.
Look there is nothing wrong with vinyl, its like shooting on expired film, it evokes a certain feeling. But its not better quality.
I agree that vinyl is technically worse than others modern formats, but it often gets mastered with greater care and therefore can sound better than CD or other digital formats.
