CDs Vs LPs


Just wondering how many prefer CDs over LPs  or LPs over CDs for the best sound quality. Assuming that both turntable and CDP are same high end quality.

I find that thru ease of use i play a lot more CDs than LPs. I finally got my TT isolated well so I don't have feedback issues anymore. (Just one of the many universal TT issues).
The two mediums certainly sound a little different, but there's only a few of my LPs that sound noticeably better, and those, I always play the LP.
I found that a musical DAC and a good, tube preamp, make CDs sound very, very good. In fact, I have a Mozart CD with sir Neville Marriner conducting, featuring Anne-Sophie Mutter on violin. It's produced in DDD and it sounds wonderful.
However I would love to hear an LP of the same performance to hear if there's and appreciable difference/improvement.
And the poorly recorded/produced LPs sound just as bad as the poorly done CDs, IMO.

I love to feel and look of albums, and the large format artwork. It's nostalgia at its best. But nothing beats CD sound for me. Vinyl is like that temperamental crazy girl we all dated. Some days she's wonderful, some days she's breaking stuff up. I have 6 issues of Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" and they all sound different. So, yes - CD's may sound a little colder. But you get consistency, clean sounds and no pops and cracks. To me personally, CD's a re that chill girl you date, and keep around for a long time. I've done plenty of A/B comparisons and some vinyl does sound different/better than CD, but most of the time in my opinion, CD wins.

The “vinyl revival” is a cult-inspired (and dealer-propelled) specious fad. It’s best ignored unless (a) you already own lots (and lots!) of LP records, or (b) you’re socially coerced to support the groupthink (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupthink) pretension of peers at the local hi-end audio club. Alternative (digital) media makes it easy to hear great sound without the brief play time, compressed dynamics, high distortion, low signal-to-noise ratio, endless groove wear, and dedicated equipment expense that’s innate with vinyl.

From the detailed technical information I've read, the SQ capability of CD wins hands down. I ditched LPs as soon as CDs came out. Mainly because of tics, pops and hiss. And I ditched CDs as soon as 320kbps downloads came out. Reloaded with FLAC. Not because I could hear the difference, but just so I'd never convince myself I could.
