The comment about my Linn LP12/Ittok wasn't aimed at you, more the
puritans who don't seem to understand that it is possible to prefer
something that isn't perfect to that which supposedly is.

Where on earth do you get the idea that those of us who prefer CD are
"puritans"?

Compared to LP CD is cheaper, easier to get hold of, easier to store and
play. Furthermore it doesn't require so much care in handling and is usable
in portable and car players.

Compared to all that LP would have to be significantly better in performance
terms to be worth bothering with. Given that it's actually worse there's no
contest IMO.
