It is inherently more representative of reality. Measurably so. Vinyl doesn't and cannot have the same dynamic range as digital.
You know that vinyl is not the only way of recording analog information, right?
There is also cassette tapes, reels, wax cylinders, laser discs... Analog supports degrade over time. Digital files do not.
True, but analog cylinders are going to be the ones people after the world burns can find and still listen. I wouldn't count any old CDs play at that point anymore.
Like analog degrades, digital just stops playing.
