Very good points all!
Of course that's a clue that I agree, but they would be good points anyway.
I've been keen on home audio since the 78 days and my CD collection has given me more pleasure than any other format bar none and I've used about all of them except el cassette. There are a lot of reasons why but the biggest things are that they last well, have adequate playing time, don't require a lot of ritual, players are still abundant and a tremendous amount of material is available. That they can be recorded losslessly is just frosting on the cake.
Just last night I was listening to some disks I hadn't played in years and was simply filled with joy from the great music. One of them happened to be recorded while I was in the audience and I must say it really captures the event.
As you say there's no perfect medium but fortunately our hearing and listening seem highly adaptive and can listen through many deficiencies except for 'unnatural' ones like flutter, wow and jitter artifacts.
But I know what Todd's talking about, or at least I think I do. Occasionally there were just magic moments when playing a great recording on a new good pressing with a newish needle. But that was when LP's were fully mature and really needs to be compared with more mature digial. I find that 24/96 digital can do that bit of magic easily. IMHO digital is far and away the best scheme ever and we've just been living through it's teething era.
