The entire discussion of LP vs CD and Analog vs Digital is very
reminiscent of the discussions about a decade or two ago about
the relative merits of vacuum tube vs transistor audio equipment.

Most of the points discussed are really religious items, rather
than "ultimate truth".  The main point that both sides of the
issue make is that the listener (beholder) makes much more 
difference than the topics (phenomena).  If you say that you
enjoy LP over Digital then this is very true for you.  If you
say it the other way then it is also true in your case.  Both
of these statements are beliefs rather than facts.

I know one fellow right now who swears that he can hear a
difference between tube and transistor equipment....
