Have you asked yourself this question?

I forgot to say out of the convenience factor , there is no romanticizing the material format for me at all ... I was moved or not by the music not by the front cover of a vinyl ....😊

Twenty minutes anticipating the end of a LP side and feeling in the obligation to disturb my meditation by the idea that i have only 5 minute left at most eyes closed was too much for me ... The annoying clicking noise too was much ...

Just saying that i feel the past  misery ...😊

Since I don't have an analog system, it is much easier to decide not to acquire one.    Listening to other people's audio system, I don't get the urge to get one, perhaps because I am accustomed to digital sound.  But IMHO, I don't find analog superior.

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.
