Most audiophiles I know that run analog source gear (turntables and/or reel-to-reel) claim it sounds better than digital.
I don't know that I would agree in all cases - High-res digital recording is capable of really good quality, and side-steps the noise problems inherent in analog recording.
But I would agree that high-end analog sources are quite a bit better than a lot of the digital formats, e.g. standard CD and medium and low-res MP3 files.
Guess that goes without saying though. It's probably not fair to compare the best analog sources to the worst digital sources and say, "see there, analog is superior!"
Still, a nice clean half-speed master vinyl record sounds really sweet.
