Some people will swear by this, that there is better
quality in vinyl than on the current digital format.

If I'm not mistaken, there's a theorem, Nyquit's, that
goes something to the effect that if an electrical
signal - say, varying voltage to represent sound - is
sampled at twice it's highest frequency, the digitized
copy should sound the same.  Or something like that,
I'm sure someone will call me out on that.

What I'm wondering, is that during this sampling from
the analogue master reels, is if those higher - yet
more or less inaudible in volume - components in the
frequency range that get lost are what causes this
possible difference in quality between analogue vinyl
vs. digital cd's.  Or is it something else?  Something
I read, I think on this mailing list, awhile back, is
that vinyl tended to empasize a certain middle type
range of frequencies, creating a "warmer" sound, but
that cd's were more equalized.

Is there any truth to vinyl sounding better, given the
same sound system?
