Summary: 

The only LP's I've heard that can match a good CD were the DBX
series of a few years ago.

I have yet to hear a !DBX LP of classical music that didn't have its share
of surface noise.  (Most Jazz and Pop music tends to cover up the surface
noise is the surfaces are good.)

Why oh why didn't you digiphobes get behind DBX when you had a chance?
DBX LP's sound almost as good as CD's and they didn't have the high
front end costs associated with CD's.  If DBX had caught on, you'd be able
to have a great selection of music without most of the infernal noise and
distortion that separate LP's from CD's.

As far as the presence of lousy CD's in the catalog being an excuse for
digiphobes to avoid CD's in general: I have some really rotten or worn out
LP's I'd like to see remastered in CD.

Speaking of which, has anyone heard the new Toscanini CD's?  How do they
sound?
