You forget the point that the digital storage medium is actually worse than the analogue at point, because for CD quality, your 16bits of range every 44,000 times per second is also losing one hell of a lot of both horizontal and vertical resolution that vinyl would capture.
Yeah, that's fair enough, analogue media have a better dynamic range, especially better than 16-bit CDs. Although, 44,100 times per second is actually plenty enough sampling to capture signals up to 20,000Hz (which is taken to be the highest frequency we can hear). Vinyl only has a usable bandwidth up to around 18kHz, and a very uneven frequency response.
