Actually my dad prefers CD’s.  Otherwise he wouldn’t have them as he obviously bought the records first.
It’s the fact that everything made for vinyl is mastered in a superior fashion.  If CD’s were mastered better then this would be an entirely different discussion.  But I don’t like my music brick-walled.
That’s a bit of an overstatement, but I concede it’s essentially true.
My point, though, is that vinyl’s other massively distracting and distorting drawbacks usually make vinyl sound worse, even notwithstanding the more tasteful masters.
