the valid comparison to make is between a recording and the hardware.
thus a cd player or dac and transport is compared to a turntable, arm and cartridge.
there are many variables and there is personal taste.
while the facts of the recording are the facts, one must consider all of the variables.
it is possible, therefore, that a given recording may be preferred on either medium, regardless of the facts of the "superiority of the recording.
although, i would grant one could make a case that a well recorded lp will most likely be preferred over its cd counterpart--but not always.
i own csome cds which are quite exemplary in their sound quality and would be acceptable to those who love vinyl.
