A simpler answer?Traditionally phonograph mastering used some dynamic range compression, often done tastefully and manually. In moderate doses it can sound good as the quieter parts are more perceptible, and thanks to fletcher Munson effects, sound more correct.
As far as I have heard, people who rip their phono with a high quality ADC say that the resulting digital file upon playback sounds virtually identical.
