Nobody will tell you that they vinyl is technically better, but that it sounds subjectively better for them.

They will tell you that sounds better(for them). It is not imagination, it is taste.

Lots of artist and people that love old music(like Beatles) prefer vinyl because it was the medium for what it was created. I understand them, they have a point.

If I play Sonic the Hedgehog or original Mario on an emulator and a digital TV I see pixels that were not there on fuzzy old screens.

Oh, you can find someone who believes any given idea, no matter how crazy, especially in the audio world. See #9 here for example:

The consequences of the fact that vinyl is ultimately made out of atoms is lost on many. The idea that "analog" means "infinite precision" is surprisingly common.

Sonic is an interesting example.

If you'd played the game in Europe, your TV would have had a SCART connector. That provided much better picture quality, and wasn't as fuzzy.
