"Vinyl is better" is a meaningless statement, or, perhaps, misleading.
Most vinyl sucks (over 90%). But if you find the right stamper, you have about a 2% chance of finding 1 outstanding side of a pressing.
If you have quality audio gear (never seen on your channel), and professionally dial in your turntable, tone-arm, cartridge (99.99% of people do not do this), and a quality phono-amp, and a quality pre-amp, and quality amps, and quality speakers, professionally positioned, and your room is absent of excessive reflections, and you professionally clean your pressing, then you will have vinyl listening experience that must be heard to be believed -- and your sarcastic put-downs of vinyl will cease.
Yes, vinyl is both a pain and expensive to achieve the above. But if you have the determination and the $$, you will be a happy camper. And, yes, it will sound better than anything digital (which is also imperfect).

@0:21 "Remember kids, vinyl is better, because it's imperfect"
That statement implies that digital is not imperfect.
Vinyl has flaws.
Digital has flaws.
When both are at their best, vinyl wins.
It is neither easy nor inexpensive to accomplish. But vinyl, at its best, beats digital, at its best -- and nearly no one has ever heard either at their best.
Until our host actually listens to a high-end stereo, professionally set-up in a sound treated room, then he should not cast aspersions on what he never tested; never heard. This is a problem that many tech-savoy engineers have. If they actually did a listening test, using the right equipment, set-up by the right people, in the right room, then they would realize that their so-called know-it-all understanding is lacking. And if they are willing to acknowledge their mistake, then they could use their technical engineering experience to understand why they were mistaken.
Cheers!
