If you've got a $10k system (my dad does), then records sound better than
CD's.  Problem is you have to have a $10k system, wash your records w/
a special record vacuum machine, coat your stylus w/ stuff before each
record, Then you eliminate the pops & clicks and get depth & imaging that
CD's don't yet have (because the DAC's aren't yet good enough.)  I used
to doubt the truth of this, but listening to several Audiophiles systems
has converted me!
