Streaming vs Physical Media

@lalitk 

Thank you for your contribution… very valuable info. 

It all has a place in our hobby/obsession. I love vinyl, CD’s and streaming. I have an emotional connection when playing vinyl, reminds me of days spent with my Grandfather listening to his collection on the old Victrola.

Great emotional connection with the past.

I prefer CD replay, but by a wide margin

Without a large existing CD collection, spending money on a transport is hard to justify. I do have the latter, but I have stopped buying CDs. I stream using Qobuz/Roon, and if I really like a recording, I buy it (in High Rez if possible). With the premium Qobuz subscription, the High Rez recordings cost about the same as a CD and sound better.
