My wife had never really listened to vinyl before I bought my turntable. Her previous experience was mostly with old "record players" and crappy albums full of scratches and pops. She was skeptical, needless to say.
Even she had to admit that the albums sounded great. I have an annoying habit (in her opinion) of listening to music at higher volumes than she thinks are appropriate and one thing that she noticed right away was that the vinyl music was less "harsh" at higher volumes than CDs. Much easier to listen to and more musical.
Having said that, I have some CDs that sound really, really good and I have some albums that sound really, really bad.
To me, part of the experience of listening to music is putting an album on and then looking through the liner notes and sleeve artwork, etc. I miss that with CDs.
