Have you asked yourself this question?

@fuzztone I will have my Visiting Angel 👼 cue up my LP’s and flip my wax 😎

I couldn’t care less about equaling streaming.

Digital playback is simple when it works. LP playback is physically difficult and getting harder every day for us old compromisees. Digital usually requires no walking to a TT and then performing routine to play music. Besides I’ve heard my records already, repeatedly. Changing cartridges is like adjusting dynamic EQ with finite plays.

Seldom worth it. Don’t worry yourself, you will get there soon enough. I have already spent lifetime hours cuing vinyl and hanging tapes.

I can’t see why an end user would be concerned about "provenance" unless he is overpaying for tracks. Any proof of value lies in the listening not the "blockchain."

I got rid of most of my analog gear years ago and haven’t missed it.  But I did keep a couple hundred records for some reason though.

That's very curious, Jim.

I am emotionally attached but would probably not miss it all too much. I may do it someday when the time comes to downsize and space is limited but no rush at present.

Ironically I bought an ultrasonic record cleaner earlier this year then added Qobuz and Roon and haven’t touched a record since.
