I absolutely do not.  I grew up with in playing in the house all of the time, 
but never developed a taste for it.

You may well just be pickier than I am (I used to be the fanatic with the 
Discwasher and the Zerostat, working on adjusting cartridges and complaining 
about inner-groove distortion).  I am no longer too picky, I guess. 

Try borrowing someone's iPod, see if you like the reproduction better out of 
one of those.  FWIW, A friend of mine says the DAC on the "Classics" is nowhere 
near as good as earlier models.  As a matter of fact, he has a device which 
plugs into the 30-pin port and gets a direct digital output which this extra 
device then converts for ultra-high-fidelity analog independently of the iPod.  
I think he's nuts, but if he wants to spend $200 on a device to convert output 
from a $150 device, all power to him.
