8. I have thousands of CD's and only maybe 200 LP's, all vintage, not new

New Vinyl LP’s by current artists are almost always recorded, mixed and mastered digitally, then transferred to the analog medium of vinyl.

I can see how, on a high end audiophile system vintage vinyl that was recorded on tape could sound superior (if the disc was in mint condition), but when I compare the two formats on my middle of the road system, CD is clearly superior to my ears.

I have ripped about 10,000 songs from CD to my iPhone, which I use to listen via Bluetooth when driving.

CD’s also have a wider range and number of titles available compared to vinyl or streaming.
