Hear hear!

BTW, My TT (Planar3/RB300/Denon DL110/Flutterbuster/Cambridge Audio 640 phono stage) eats my Naim CD5/Flatcap for lunch on most vinyl - with exception of well-worn or off-centre LPs.  At about a third the price. 

Even my cheapo Soundblab DLP3r DJ decks with Ortofon Pro carts (total cost about £65 per deck/cart since I got the decks for £25 each still has something CD doesn't...

Having said that, you can't take an LP on the walk to work with you and still listen to it

Older CDs can indeed sound better than modern ones.  My 1983 RCA release of Bowie's "Hunky dory" is far far superior to the recent reissue.  Same is true of the Rough Trade Smiths originals.  Even when you compare the ~£25 it costs to get "The queen is dead" on Rough Trade versus the fiver for the WEA reissue...
