Compact Discs are nice because they are compact.  The sound is usually sharper, which can be good or bad, depending on the type of recording you're listening to. 

Since I listen to vintage music, which was recorded analog, the digital versions often sound harsh and flawed, so I prefer the forgiving warmth of LPs. 

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

I'm a dinosaur I suppose. I prefer LPs, when recorded well and played on high end stereo systems. Why? Because of the compression algorithms used to make CDs. You lost quite a bit of the full sonic range. Most people don't notice this, and I have my share of CDs, but if you're an audiophile, they're just not as present as LPs.

If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, then that makes me a burning truck filled with TNT hurtling through a rocket fuel depot.
