Threads over at Hydrogen Audio have revealed that the better DR numbers from vinyl are in fact an artefact of the (necessary) EQ applied when vinyl is cut. (Not talking about RIAA, just the general stuff needed to make vinyl playback work, such as monoing the bass, removal of very low bass, tweaking the treble, etc). If you apply the same EQ to a CD rip, the DR magically goes up.
A lot of (most?) modern vinyl is sourced from the same hypercompressed master as the CD.
