CDs Vs LPs

Vinyl sounds better to me, assuming you have a better than average turntable/cartridge/ phono stage, and a good LP. CDs and CD players have come a long way since they first came out. I enjoy both.

@roberjerman - fact is they do, my CD playing rig is far more complex, tweaky and costly than my vinyl setup and can still be improved.

and while I still prefer LPs it’s amazing how good red book CD can sound 

I love both formats, also streaming, cassette and reel to reel.  But I do have a slight preference for vinyl, particularly for drums. They sound more natural to me on vinyl, and I played bass in several bands years ago so I know what live, unamplified drums sound like.

What advantage CDs used to have in dynamic range which really was their BIG SELLING POINT has been squandered by overly eager compression lo these past twenty years. And while CDs generally don’t exhibit the tape hiss as much as LPs one has to wonder if some of the music has disappeared along with the tape hiss. For those who think DDD CDs sound musical good luck with that. But even I have to admit some CDs sound really good. If a CDs gets the dynamic range and polarity right I’m down.
