I agree with kach22i. I have a difficult time listening to CD's on a really good system- vinyl wins hands down. I have done the test with several audiophile friends- then they believe. Here is a simple test to those of us old enough to remember vinyl records. Remember when you would put the same album on and play it loud over and over again. Try that with one of your CD's- my bet is by play #2 you are looking for something else to do. CD's are not musical. Now the new formats such as SACD are coming along and are very nice.
Yes I listen to my ipod, actually more than my audiophile system. But listen as close to the source as you can, no compression, no copies. Your source will make more of a difference, once you reach a certain level, than your other equipment.
