Vinyl is cheaper, and you can find classical performances you'll never find on CD, if you live in a big city. And, of course, it can sound so much better than CDs.

My actual ratio is 90% Vinyl / 10% CD. While I do purchase some new CD's, I purchase many more new and used records over the course of a year. As I type this, I am planning how to fit a trip to a noted used record store into a short business trip I have coming up !

Vinyl is still king. The king is dead, long live the king.

Compact Discs are a much more convenient medium -- surface noise is not as audible as quickly -- but I miss the headroom of the analog domain. We need a viable, non-watermarked high resolution digital solution (or solutions) and quickly! I think I just bought all the DAD's in existence.

THe sound of the more recently made CD's is as good or better from my Wadia as it is from the Lp's on my Sota, plus CD's don't have to cleaned as often, and they take up far less space for the content of music.

About 4000 lps and 200 cds, but most of them are CDRs I made from my LPs.

iam purchasing more cd's now simply due to availability and also the quality of the players and the cd's has risen appreciably since the early to mid 90's

All the LP's are in a card board box.

with the system I have now, I wouldn't consider lp's.

100% CD for ME! Get to meld into the sofa for hours without snap, crackle, or pop!

Love the sound of my vinyl but new titles are near impossible to find thus the cd's

BUYING MORE LP'S THESE DAYS THAN CD'S - GOT A NEW TURNTABLE & TUBES - AWESOME!

CD sound and convenience revived my interest in recorded music.

i would have to go a ways to catch my cd collection up with the LPs. pretty remarkable when you consider i havn't purchased an LP in over 13 years! p.s. i have about 500 CDs

2000+ cd's 8000+Lps around 600 are audiophile lps but I have minidiscs and 8-track stereo tapes & (recorders for both), also and a fair collection of each(200+) just not alot of 45's

Having building my system in the last 4years I have owned a turntable for only one year. That is the only reason it is 80% Cd's and 20% Vinyl. This will change - give me time!!!

I have been in HiFi for 4 years and only owned my first turntable for 1 year. That is the only reason it is 80% of crapy Cd's and 20% of lovely vinyl. This will change - give me time!!!

80%...and growing!

I buy vinyl selectively and old collections from stores or individuals.

I sold all my vinyl in about 1991. I kept all until I got married and then had no where to keep it. Slowly obtaining some choice LP's once again.

I only purchase the itims that cannot be purchased on vynal

I love LP's, their space for cover art, their feel, and their sound, but purchase new releases on CD because there's no other choice.

Vinyl rules

I like many others converted to CD's even before the LP's mainstream demise. But except for a small percentage of extremely well recorded CD's, I was frequently disappointed with the audio. The SACD format finally fulfills the promise of palpable CD sound. I'm much more interested in quality audio than surround sound. I've heard a DTS audio (The Police) that sounded completely unrealistic. I'm not against surround if it's used properly to recreate the acoustic nuances one hears in a live performance. But I'll never buy into wow! type surround sound. I hope there are enough people like me who will keep the SACD format alive.

Every time I hear people talk about the convenience and sonic quality of CDs, I can't help but profess my feelings about all the subtle characteristics that are eliminated by the conversion of an omnipresent analog recording to a digital format.CDs are getting better,but what was once a trickle of information is now merely a slow running faucet when compared to the deluge of musical warmth that is analog. Thank you for the opportunity to express my opinion on this matter.

I love vinyl. Please don't let it die

Whenever I listen to CD,I find myself longing for vinyl.The great majority of my LP's are either second-hand or old-new-stock

Haven't bought any vinyl for about 15 years. Play them only occasionally.

actually less

CD's are too expensive to collect like I once collected LP's
