(I admit it: I'm an audio fanatic.)

Before I can answer "better or worse", even on the average, I have to know
in what way betterness is being measured.  (Subjective measurements are still
measurements.)

CDs have less, on the average, clicks and pops, than vinyl.

But when measured by the important (admittedly subjective) measurement -- is
it listenable -- vinyl is better, on the average, than CD.

This is because no CD's are listenable, whereas some vinyl is.  And that's
all that matters.

"From transducer to transducer, audio that's better than ears."
