Of course LP's are better, but I need both because the world did not end in 1989 when they stopped making LP's.
Just make sure the alignment of the cartridge is proper, and check your tracking force.
Since LP's actually have something physical going on (the stylus vibrating in a record groove, and the "moving" magnet or coil) they really come alive. There are some records where the stylus can jump off the record, the music is so violent (Some recordings of the 1812 Overture come to mind.)
CD players need some help; mainly interconnect cables and power cables to take the glare and edge off. But they still can be a little flat, since nothing physical is going on.
