I have never sat down and actually A/B'd a lp against a cd. I can only tell you that the first time I heard the Beach Boys on CD I was very disappointed.

I went back and played the lp. While listening it dawned on me that the snaps and crackles and hiss from the original lp were missing from the cd and I missed them. The CD had better sound quality but the sound didn't seem "right".

I also miss the album art that the large lp's provided.
