I may be in a vast minority on this but... for certain types of music, I
prefer vinyl over CD. Sometimes CD is just *too* clean, too steril sounding.
Sometimes the muddier sound of vinyl (if said vinyl is in good shape and on a
decent system) is better to my ears, especially for 'raunchy' rock n roll or
old blues etc.
