While I have found there to be little discernible difference between vinyl

(digitised or not) to CDs, on the whole.

Are you not contradicting yourself there?


Don't think so - just not very well written and no context! CD and LP
often sound different.

Or do you "much prefer" something that has "little discernible difference"
from the alternative?


I find the difference to be profound.

It is interesting, I note, that you say "vinyl (digitised or not)". So its
not digital audio as such that you have a problem with, its the lack of the
distortion that vinyl introduces. If record producers cut a vinyl copy from
their masters and then digitised that vinyl to make the CD release you'd be
happy, fair enough.


Happier, yes. There's still the handling/appreciation/association of the
media.
