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 still have CDs that are well over 10 years ago. Ha-ha....is ten years supposed to be a long time? My first CDs were purchased back in 84 and they still sound fine. Goodness, that was 34 years ago!!

One example (Benny Goodman) is 65 years old and still plays fine. The Library of Congress did an archival study in the mid 1980s that suggested that laminated media like CDs would last decades while amorphous media like LPs and LP stampers would last centuries (all heavily dependent on quality of storage of course). I think I would be bored to death of the cut by then though.
