I agree that if you can find the good LP's they are great. Unfortunately, in my experience, most people had crummy systems that did serious harm to the LP's I have purchased many a used LP that looked pristine to the eye only to find upon playing that the peaks seam to be rounded out leading to a lack of good clean sound on the high end or in loud passages. This is probably the result of a record that was well cared for physically (i.e. not scratched and mauled like so many I see) but just played too often on an inferior system. I would rather just have the CD than this.
