How many of you are digital only systems?

I currently have an all digital setup, streaming and stored digital files and ripped CD’s on my Innuos Zen mkIII via Chord Qutest to a PrimaLuna EVO 400i. I have been contemplating adding analog to my system, like a Clearaudio concept table. I am NOT hear to debate which one is better, so please don’t turn it into that, I understand the differences. How many of you are digital only? If you listen to digital as well, please tell me why. Is it because of sonic qualities or just the nostalgic reasons of spinning vinyl. I just don’t know if I want a turntable because it would be new gear to play with or if I think it has sonic qualities that I am missing with digital. I would have to buy new vinyl as I really only have a few of my albums from when I was teenager in the 80’s. Maybe I should just put the money towards upgrading digital components, even though I love my Qutest/Zen combo, I could move up in their line?? Am I missing something truly special in the audio world if I’m all digital? Thanks for your thoughts

I was digital only- for the last couple weeks my bearing was being polished. I tried, really tried. But it is just.... digital. Now with the table back, ahhh, once again all is well.

In fairness I must admit, it is real nice being able to just push a button, skip tracks, play with volume, and not have to get up at the end. Those things really are nice. I could  In between all that however is this.... noise. How do you all handle it? Is there a meditation or something? Hypnosis? What is the secret?

Don't know, maybe it is just a typo, or something, but vladtheimpala is fricken hilarious. Can't think of another one even nearly as good. Well done, sir!

Digital only since the '90's, when in the course of some heavy petting with a lovely woman, the record ended and needed to be flipped! So I made an entirely aesthetic decision.

This is why God made 10.5" RTR, and 3.5ips.
