Vinyl yes. Still most preferred. CD’s not so much. Still stream though. I did just pick up a Sony SACD etc player, so I may play with some titles in those formats.

I regularly go to my happily tall, well-stuffed rack of CDs and ponder what I might listen to next. I have no idea how much of what I have is also available via streaming. I have entire symphony sets, compendiums of  Old Time Folk artists, operas, and off-the-beaten-track ethnic music. Many of the CDs have surprisingly good sound.

Streaming definitely has its place, but my CD collection is large, and in my system still sounds better than the quality of streaming.  It also has greatly slowed purchases of CD's (from about 50 per year down to about 5).
