CD's or Vinyl?


Gun to your head, if you could only pick one, which would you choose.  As nostalgic and sublime as Vinyl can be I think I'd have to go with Cd's.  Just seems cleaner and more pristine to me.

And You?

LPs - since their introduction in the 80's, I have heard thousands of CDs on hundreds of systems, including many > $100,000 systems.  So far, only one of these systems has matched the quality that I hear from my mid-priced analogue system.  I estimate that the aforementioned system exceeded $200k, MSRP.

That being said, I also have hundreds of CDs and a 'class-A' player.  I usually play CDs when I need a longer hands-off period of time.  For example, if I am cooking outside on the back deck, but still want some background music during the prep and eating diner, CDs are a better choice.
