So, What I'd like to do is get opinions from this board. Have any of you
noticed that you don't enjoy listening to your audio system today as much
as
you did in vinyl days? If you fall into this category, do you have any
theories as to why? If you have happily left LP behind with no regrets,
I'd
like to hear your opinions as to why you think many people still get more
enjoyment from LP than CD and why you do not. Please, let's avoid the
obvious
remarks about about surface noise, limited dynamic range, wow-and-flutter
(as
obviously vinyl-philes seem to be able to listen around those and don't
find
them annoying).

Let the games begin!

there are a number of recordings where I have both the vinyl and CD - in
many but not all cases, the soundstage formed by the vinyl extends well
beyond the speakers, sometimes wrapping all the way around behind me. With
the CDs, in no case does the sound stage extend beyond the speakers.

I would suggest your speaker setup is not optimal, then, or by sheer
misfortune you've never bought a well-recorded CD.
