well, that's not my argument. the object does not make the music itself any better or worse. it is just a vessel that contains more cultural artifacts and other contextual/background information than nebulous digital files, which contain virtually none. music is immaterial. it does not, however, exist in a vacuum, and your understanding and appreciation of music and all forms of art is enhanced by understanding the context in which it existed/exists. it is one thing to hear an old blues record. it is quite another to hold an old blues record in your hands. you hold a piece of time and culture that has everything to do with the music.
