Vinyl is optimum only if they are completely dust-free, and if  
the needle is replaced every 200-300 hrs of play.  Without  
that, over time, the sound becomes more muddled or cloudy (not  
to mention damaging to the vinyl) - perhaps that is what some  
people perceive as "softer".

Many early manufactured CD players were terrible, and produced  
a harsh "edgy" sound.  Over time, that contributed to what some  
people reported as "listening fatigue".   I experienced the  
same.  I had thought that I had purchased a fine player. The  
sound was super clean and clear, but over time there was  
something about the sound that wasn't confortable to the ears.

Later, I got a new player with a better D/A converter  
technology, and the difference was significant.
