I can't handle digital after analog light my fire

"I do not care how much the CD player costs it sounds like digital to me."

Well, if someone plays off the shelf untreated CDs on players that are not isolated from structural vibration, at a minimum, what do you expect? A rather bland, uninteresting, generic mishmash of different papier mache noises is about it.

I am so glad my post turned in such interesting debate and views, I expected a few comments but not as many, thank you all.
I am giving digital another chance in my life after your comments,

Mountainsong,
I agree with you that Vinyl offers much more. If you are investing money and ideas in a digital chain you may also get very very good results.
Enjoy!

FWIW if folks invested as much time and effort in setting up a good digital system as they must do to set up a good vinyl system I think they would be greatly surprised. Both formats can be excellent, but neither is plug and play. Who really cares which is 'better'. I don't. They are not the same and the software except for re-masters is not duplicative. If you can't get quality digital sounds it's not the format it is you.

Besides how can any real music lover ignore music post 1980. I can't!

For me, recordings usually sounds better and more dimensional on vinyl, but on occasion well engineered/mastered cd, sacd or dvd-a can equal or better. Just as occasionally a well done cd can outperform the same album on sacd or dvd-a, even though, all things being equal, it should not.
