I listen to both. Personally I believe a lot has to do with your play back system. I will sight an example with my system. I was using a Samsung universal Blue Ray player (CD's sounded like crap), then I borrowed a Parasound CD player and ran it through my Parasound DAC, (better but no cigar), vinyl still much better, then I bought an Oppo 203 I run direct into my VTL 5.5 preamp and the improvement was dramatic. I now actually enjoy CD's. As far as clicks and pops with vinyl that simple shows lack of care for the album, I do not have clicks and pops and some of my collection goes well into the 60's.
