Web, I'm certainly no expert, but there are many (relative term) who swear by tubes and vinyl. Yes you can tell the difference, but much less so than even a few years ago.

I don't prefer the "old system" primarily because LPs are difficult for messy swine to keep them in good playing condition. <g> When CDs first arrived many of the players tended to give off a very "harsh" or overly "bright" sound, and that problem was compounded by poor engineering of the CDs themselves, as they were mixed/engineered from analog tape to digital formats. (There are some of my older CDs that are still very difficult to really enjoy, irrespective of the improvements made in CD players. They sound nothing like the original vinyl.) However, newer equipment and improved re-mastering of older material makes this only a major problem to those with very discriminating ears and very deep pockets. Still, even if I had an unlimited budget I would still opt for digital due to ease of use and care. FWIW
