CDs Vs LPs

I've owned and collected both. But didn't buy my first CD until the fall of '91. And my first player until the summer of '92! I wasn't impressed with CD playback quality until then! And I heard the first CD player available in America in '83 - the Hitachi vertical loader. Not impressed! After all, I already had near-sota LP playback for years! Which set a pretty high bar for SQ! And still does! So by '92 I had my first of many players and I started buying many CD's (mostly used!). But I remained faithful to my LP collection - and to this day still prefer it over digital playback! 

Audiophiles would be happier if CD players required as much tweaking as TT's to obtain optimal SQ!

We like what we like! The paradox of thinking vs. feeling!

"Spin The Black Circle" from Pearl Jam!

+1 brianmoriarty - and the more complex the better! LOL!

Both LP's and CD's can vary in SQ depending upon the mastering. For LP's I prefer first (earliest) masterings. CD's - sometimes first masters sound better, sometimes not. One can only listen. I buy my LP's and CD's online: EBAY and Reverb. Both new and used. Great selection and easy to compare prices. My last purchase from the BAY was Converge's Jane Doe ($5) and the White Stripes's Ickg Thump ($1) + $5 shipping. $11 total. Seller was enientertainment. Check them out - 4000 + CD's at good prices - and will combine shipping!

Correction: Icky Thump! Hard to type on my phone's small screen! Checkout the White Stripes - a brother/sister rock duo! First saw them years ago on Conan!

Reverb is acting as a hub for various sellers of LP's and CD's. They make it easy to compare prices and availability. I have bought on this site successfully!

Got a nice copy of the Stone's Get Your Ya Ya's Out LP for a good price and some CD's!

How about this: just won at an EBAY auction two nice LP's of Hendrix's Are You Experienced and Lou Reed's Transformer! $20 + $5 shipping! Original pressings in excellent condition! There are bargains out there!
