Vinyls just sound SO much better. They have alot more "kick". Partly this is due to the CD having a sampling rate of 44.1 K per second, while records have no such limitations, but if they were to be measured for samples per second I believe it would come out to 150 K/s more or less. Records have so much more detail in the sound, little nuances and more dynamic range. For the greatest example of record's superiority in detail, listen to an orchestral recording. On a record you can hear trumpets, trombones, baritones, tubas, all distinctly. On a CD all you can hear is brass, and you can tell the difference between a trumpet and a tuba, but a trumpet and a trombone? Could be tricky. Take a rock song and listen to the CD version, then listen to the record version and the increase in punch and how much it immerses you will be evident. The CD version may sound "good", but the record version will sound exciting and almost like being at a live show.
