Complete nonsense. The same record played on better vinyl equipment
will sound better all the way up to SOTA gear. The quality of vinyl
playback has a great deal to do with the quality of the gear used.
Many
people when exposed to better vinyl playback are completely
surprised
by the vast improvements and often come to understand the
preference
for vinyl playback back numerous hard core audiophiles hold.

Does that mean that as you get closer and closer to SOTA vinyl
equipment, you get more and more accurate reproduction from the same
record?

well tell me what you mean by "accurate reproduction of the record
first" A record is a piece of plastic with a groove sut into it. The
record is not reproduced in playback.

And a magnetic recording tape is just a piece of plastic film coated
with metal oxide. Yet some playback setups are clearly extracting
more information more accurately *from* it than other. Which, of course,
is clearly analogous to what Chung meant...yet again you indulge
in semantic quibbling for no good purpose.
