Vinyl collecting vs. CD collecting

I would collect more vinyl than CDs if they were more easily available to me and less expensive. Only one place in my town stocks vinyl and their selection is rather limited, after that I have to go to Dublin which is 1 and 1/2 hours away. Picking up dirt cheap second hand CDs is easy for me and I've found some great stuff over the past couple of years by chance at bargain prices.

I like the sound of a record over a CD, it makes the music sound warmer and more vibrant. This might be due in some part to my CD player (it's an old DVD player really) not being the best. Also the bigger artwork is a huge plus especially with gatefold vinyl.
