I don't really consider myself an audiophile but do have good stuff, 
old but good, Thorens, Marantz and double large Advents, and I can 
definitely hear a difference between CD's and LP's. Most LP's sound 
inviting clear, very real and warm to me while most CD's sound 
clinical, slightly harsh and cold. I can also listen to LP's all day 
but not cD's they are fatiguing to the ears,
