Streaming vs traditional


My son is talking about the "lossless" audio one can stream.  I have a good collection of CD's as well as a couple of TT and LP's with more than than I should invested in both.  (some may say too much, some may say not enough)  Anyway, thought I would come to a relative neutral forum to ask for reviews on the streaming audio.  It kinda reminds me of the Bluray and Betamax wars of years past-no standard version/format yet.  I guess it's relatively in it's infancy with lots of software and format devices on the market.  I love the convenience of CD's and the warmth and ambience of analog.  So-what's up with the streamers?

To the best of my knowledge Meridian have never published any of their work in a scientific journal.

Firstly, peer review is terrible these days as is the awfully poor quality of scientific "research". 

Secondly, If you believe lower resolution audio files will help save our planet against catastrophic global warming then you have really been heavily caught up in the current du jour end of the world quasi-religious fervour.

FWIW I have deep knowledge of atmospheric physics and I can assure you that our atmosphere is as healthy as it has ever been. Additions of atmospheric C02 are simply returning sequestered CO2 back to the atmosphere and it is an exceptionally good thing - it really helps nature and plant life that all thrive on CO2 and die of starvation when levels fall below 150ppm. Fortunately, the atmosphere is a complex system dominated by water vapour and convection and NOT measurably influenced by CO2 - albedo effect or cloud cover being the biggest variable factor which is water vapour related and another big factor being planetary motion.

Wow. Even more voodoo science. I thought this forum already had its fair share.
