are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD

"Digital recording on vinyl is better" is voodoo. It usually sounds better though :)

Totally voodoo (or placebo?) but it works on me! As I said before, maybe its time to stop self-medicating (with alcohol) while relaxing and listening to music and relapse back into my second-favorite hobby/condition of "upgraditis". The first one is spending all my "allowance" on music, of course, but this one is incurable! ;-)
A few months ago, when testing the results of me restoring Nakamichi cassette deck I was listening to a cassette recorded from a CD played thru a cheap Discman. I liked the cassette much better than the "original", and thats when I realized that I need medical attention. It just did not make any sense to me!!! When the same thing was mentioned by Mike Fremer in one of his YouTube ramblings, I realized that I am not alone!?!
Whats wrong with me/us? I can tell the difference between lo-mid and hi-end sound but it looks like I like analog wow and flutter distortions. Art Dudley of Stereophile mag also had a post about him loving distortions and, like myself, also got confused about what he was trying to say. 
Anyhow, its an interesting question, thank you @harold-not-the-barrel for digging it up!

Analogue tape is the best medium there is. If the deck is up to the task and you use better tape, talking reel to reel, except for extra noise the recording will overall sound better, with more natural flow and drive.
To paraphrase the immortal expression - it's the tape stupid.

@inna "tape stupid" is a good one! Thats Exactly how I feel about analogue sound! As a professional "academic researcher" I've learned not to trust others folks findings until its been confirmed, and this topic of digital masters onto LPs bothers me A Lot! I did spend my Christmas present on the latest Wadia SACD player a few years back but it still could not beat my Sondek... dCS stack is out of my reach (well, unless Allah will "smile on" my business! ;-) ) so until then I say that analog sounds the best. As I mentioned elsewhere, having half-decent analogue rig will make you bitching about AC noise and sneezing neighbors at LA Opera. Disclaimer: just getting to LA Opera is a torture with all the traffic, so my say on Live vs Canned music is totally skewed!
