Your're an idiot for buying the vinyl (inferior to CD's)
I read this many, many years ago on t.d.n's original opinion section before these forums were created. It makes the most sense out of any opinion I've heard about this song.
I dount vinyl could ever achieve the best audio quality of a good CD recording. If you ever hear a vinyl copy that's better than the CD, you probably have a very bad CD copy.
This is true, but there's just no way a recording made for vinyl can trump the quality of a recording made for compact disc. At some point, technology ends up having that effect on things.
I've been told that vinyl has a deeper range when it comes to bass. I'm not sure if there is truth behind it. If there is, it shoots your argument down in flames.

Vinyl uses a wider range of frequencies than CD does. Although the first counter argument to that statement would be to remind you that the human ear cannot hear the extra frequencies that vinyl uses, some suggest that perhaps it's not necessarily something you can hear, but rather something you can feel. One common conviction that has come out of the thousands of "CD vs Vinyl" debates is that vinyl has a warmer, fuller sound while CD has a digital, mechanical sound.
I don't care much to test it myself, though. I am about as interested in vinyl as I am 8-track cassettes.
