Think of a CD just as a computer monitor, and a digital image. It's pixelated. There are areas of blankness between to the pixels, or in the case of a CD, the bytes/bits whatever.

An LP has an infinately detailed sound reproduction, since the music itself is directly etched in to the material, instead of chopped in to many small chunks and reasembled.

Also, with the proper care given to an LP, scratches will not occour. With a good needle, every time you play it, the quality will NOT go down for quite some time. Yes, it may wear microscopic amounts of vinyl off, but bear in mind it does so evenly (again with the proper equipment and a good stylus) so it makes absolutely no difference.

Those tones from the album will always be closer to what was actually recorded, have more depth to them, and just have generally warmer, sweeter tones.

It's almost like a vintage tube amp vs. a modern digital amp.

The vintage tube wins every time.
