CDs Vs LPs

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.

Tho CDs are my go-to, I'll always have to hang onto all my vinyl stuff.
I bought most of the LPs 45 years ago when I was in my teens. I had a McIntosh system, even then, with an ADC cart to track them; so they're all still in great shape.
I only have about 300 LPs, which seems to be one tenth of what most of you have, but I love all of it. It's mostly 70s rock and Jazz.
Most of my Classical is on CD.
Pretty soon, I'll pick up one of those new pop and click eliminators that ryskie mentioned. I was intrigued as soon as I saw them advertized about 6 months ago.

As amazed as I am at how good CDs can sound, I think that vinyl sounds better the majority of the time with a good cart and a good phono stage.
Regarding the pops and clicks; with my collection, which has always been well cared for and played on good equipment, it's not that they're there all the time. But when I'm playing something loud, there are some uncleanable pops in quiet places that almost hurt your ears. Those are really the only annoying ones.

Thanks for this thread and All that have kept it civilized while expressing your opinions. Wish the rest on this forum would pickup on this."

That's real nice, but y'know ... wspohn did call all the people that have pops and clicks "TOO LAZY".
And the fact that I actually am, extremely lazy, is not the point, LOL.
