If your question is what is the most accurate representation of a
disc-cutting master tape, then I don't think there can be any arguement
that
CD is more accurate, every measurement you care to make will confirm this.
However, if you are asking which does one prefer the sound of, that is a
subjective view, which of course is a matter of taste.


More accurate, perhaps, but not totally accurate. And this matters. The
areas of controversy a

1) high frequency reproduction, especially notable of strings, triangles,
and cymbals
2) depth of image

Both are thought, with some experimental proof, to relate to the problems of
transient accuracy in the high frequencies.

People who like vinyl generally cite either the accuracy of the upper
registers or ease and naturalness of the overall sound as a reason for that
preference. Both are thought to relate to the above.
