Hi Guys:

No question about it. Vinyl captures complete sound waves because it  
is analog. And the original sound being recorded as the band plays, is  
analog. CD's are digital and capture the sound incompletely in a  
series of steps, thus missing part of the original analog sound.

For the technical explanation, with pictures, see:
