CD's or Vinyl?

CD’s for me. Too much maintenance for vinyl, record cleaning, stylus cleaning etc not to mention flipping from one side to the other. Ticks & pops are a distraction I actually had an SAE 5000 impulse noise reduction unit back in the day to help mask that problem. High resolution CD’s for me any day. 

I think the question is a little bit too binary - but good question nevertheless. This is a debate I've been having with myself recently and have come to the conclusion that the choice is digital. The reason I say digital is that the ADC conversion used for a lot of CDs was sub par and, until recently, the provided a reason to maintain a vinyl system if one had those recordings on vinyl. However, streaming has advanced so much that it is far more economical to access more recent masterings via streaming rather than buying them twice on CD. I am in the fortunate position to be able to compare high end digital to high end record reply systems, and they are on a par. But vinyl has non-audio drawbacks, so digital now wins for me.

CDs. LPs are too short. Flip every 20 minutes? No thanks. 

Not even close....Vinyl.

I play both formats and they are very close sound wise 

I will say though that I find more cds with loud  brick walled mastering or very harsh loud dynamics and don’t find nearly any records with those characteristics

My point is that vinyl seems to be more consistent when it comes to listenable

recordings.   The cd era mastering was all over the map and vinyl mastering has been around much longer 

Just my take
