As you mention, the real issue is the quality of the original source material being used, and the mastering process involved. SACD and DVD-A are my preferred playback media as well.

Also, I think people preceived the much lower noise and cleaner sound as being sterile. I know I was reluctant at first and didn't get a CD player until 1994. I really like SACD and DVD-A. They are really pretty much transparent to the master (assuming good mastering). I would be very surprised if JJ found that LPs sound better than SACDs/DVD-As. The other thing being that SACDs will sound "perfect" forever while an LP loses quality at every playback. Looking forward to JJ's analysis.
