I'll take CDs over vinyl any day. I've got both, including the same recordings (one on vinyl, the other on CD), and the CDs sound better (crisper, clearer, quieter). Do an A-B comparison of Beatles records, and this becomes very apparent. Yes, I still listen to my LPs on my Thorens TD166 mk2 (coupled with a Sumiko Pearl cartridge - no wonder the CDs sound better; is that what you're thinking?). Ergonomically, CDs make more sense, and, as I've said, they sound better - bringing to life some 1930s opera recordings (like act 2 of Die Valcarie with Lauritz Melchoir) that sound like 1930s opera recordings on LP. And I certainly don't miss the clicks and pops which, since CDs came available, are almost intolerable. Go ahead, flame me.
