That's my experience as well. I got lucky about a year ago and found about 30 Deutsche Grammophon LP's and had about 6 of them on CD. A comparison of those 6...well, I'm sure you can guess the outcome. The vinyl KILLED the CD's in all cases. The CD's just seemed to suck the life out of the recording. I could still hear the notes being played and they were the same as on the LP but it's like the diff between a player piano and a human pianist. One was technically perfect but cold and sterile. One, the LP, was much more lifelike - or "live-like" might be a better term.
