Have you asked yourself this question?

sometimes i talk to myself too and ask all sorts of questions even those I don't care for any answers.

I do all formats but could easily live with just streaming. I have moments where I want to streamline and then moments where I like the accumulation of the physical media. I'm not as adamant as some on their belief that record playing is superior to streaming. There is something to be said for listening uninterrupted. 

JasonBourne71,

I totally agree with you, how anybody can call that Linn LP12 setup lackluster is beyond me, I guess he doesn't know much about the Linn LP12 lol.

Streaming i did not ...😁 And i will never do ...

Try to find an erhu album or a tabla tarang album or a sarangi album or some fine russian pianist playing Scriabin ?

Or a Nordic countries long past jazz album ?

I never listen to most of the proposed too much well known  music in jazz , in world music too , save in the classical domain...

I could live with only Bach and choral music but i had fallen in love with musicians of all culture long time ago, jazz included ...

I don't think of it as an either/or; why not both and anything new that comes along  (and a hybrid and EV parked next to my inline twin turbo six).

As far as succession; my daughter has claimed my rig, vinyl and CDs in their entirety. Also, I'm ok with transitioning between mediums; sometimes one then the other depending on mood or circumstances. 

And I totally get simplification and streaming stuff. There's much enjoyment in simplicity.  So this dilemma is good to have in retirement, something to think about today and solve tomorrow.
