LP or CD?

LP, you get a warmer sound quality from it without having to throw it through a digital plug-ins. For portability and ease of storage, go CD or digital. I have several thousand LPs and 12" records from when I was a DJ. I have vastly more in digital and CD formats, more than I ever will listen too.

LP, hands down. The rich sound quality (even if not via a Japanese pressing) far exceeds anything you will ever get from a CD. Try a Japanese pressing with a high-end system and you'll never want to listen to a CD (and would never even think about an MP3) again.

I agree with both and would like to add I feel with LP's there is a depth and intensity in music the CD lacks.

LP's. Sound is much richer. The high's are higher and lows are lower. It's the same as hearing music through a tube-type radio transmitter and a digital transmitter. The difference is quite noticable and the sound is much better from the tube xmitter.
