good cd matters. Loudness wars sometimes mean cds are worse because they got a worse mastering
My point was more that vinyl has a distinct sound, whereas CDs are just the digital files in a physical package. So if someone decides that distortion suits a particular album better, it's not going to "sound worse" to them.
