Those old LPs had better fidelity and were easier on the ears (of course they were easy to scratch too and usually had hiss in the background). The difference in sound quality I guess is because digitial recording only "samples" sound whereas analog electo magnetic recording picked up almost all the sound. Perhaps with CDs going to the DVD format some of this disparity in sound quality will be closed.

Actually, CDs are superior to LPs frequency response-wise, and superior in the realm of dymanic range.

Why do LPs sound better to you and myself?

Because of being used to its sound, and THD. A digitally recorded and mastered album would not sound too good on vinyl, I would imagine.

I don't doubt you are right about that. Could it be that with digital sampling there is less information to carry around so any frequency changes happen quicker, at the expense of resonance? I don't know, maybe it's like you suggested. Anyway, there are quite a few musicians who have said that they can tell the difference between CDs and LPs and that the latter has better sound quality...for whatever reason.
