CDs Vs LPs

I've owned and collected both. But didn't buy my first CD until the fall of '91. And my first player until the summer of '92! I wasn't impressed with CD playback quality until then! And I heard the first CD player available in America in '83 - the Hitachi vertical loader. Not impressed! After all, I already had near-sota LP playback for years! Which set a pretty high bar for SQ! And still does! So by '92 I had my first of many players and I started buying many CD's (mostly used!). But I remained faithful to my LP collection - and to this day still prefer it over digital playback! 

Being a music lover, I have to have both. There are so many fabulous recordings that have only been released on LP and have never seen the light of day on CD. Conversely, so much great music has only been available on CD. To not enjoy both would be to cut myself off from an essential portion of our rich recorded musical heritage.

Ill let the audiophile types argue over which sounds better.

CDs by far. CDs have much greater dynamic range, and don't have pops and tics. Plus the arguments about analog vs digital are nonsense. There is no difference in audible reproduction between the two methods (except for the much greater dynamic range of a CD).
