Really? "The best of formats."? (That depends on what you expect out of the format, IMHO.)

For casual listening, and background music, it is fine.
And it certainly is covenient.
(And it is great for listening in the car.)

That being said though, for serious listening, I much prefer vinyl.
(In fact I would say that 95% of my listening at home is done via my turntable.)

I will agree that it is a heck of a lot easier to get into than vinyl though. (Cleaning records is a habit one must get used to in order to really enjoy listening to vinyl, IMHO. Listening to clean records means very little, to no, pops, ticks or other surface noise, which can be annoying if it is more than the occasional noise.)

Question, (and I'm just curious is all):
Do you still have your turntable?
And do you find that sonically you prefer CDs over vinyl?
(Or is strictly a matter of convenience over sonics, which is okay.)
