CD's or Vinyl?

+1 @saugertiesbob 

I have always found the vinyl revival maddening, given the inconvenience and expense of vinyl.  The album covers beat CDs and that’s it.

  Streaming is great.  My LPs were destroyed in a house flood in 1985.  I was frustrated with vinyl at the time and welcomed CDs except that I was broke, could barely afford a player , and since it was years before I had disposable income and budget classical CDs were released, I basically listened to the radio 90% of the time.  Streaming would have been a Godsend.  However now I own a few thousand CDs.  I’ve ripped a bunch but the software for music storage works poorly with classical.  Qobuz doesn’t have many of albums that I want.  And there are constant big box releases at around $2/CD.  So my heirs are going to be stuck with lots of the silver discs

So, somebody is going to follow me around for the rest of my life with a gun to my head making sure that I only listen to one form of media?

At that point, I would say choosing the form of media is the least of my problems.

Based on "rumours" I did some research - current estimates are that 30-50% of LP buyers do not own a turntable - they are buying LP like some buy books simply to decoratively fill a bookcase or record shelf...

@saugertiesbob  has a lot of time on his hands. Let me assure you, Saugertiesbob, that there is no limit to any profuse amount of words that you may offer upon the universe that will dissuade me from my masochistic attachment to my 6,000+ LP collection. Nor the 300+ 78 collection. 

Are you up the river from me? I’m in Newburgh NY. We can meet somewhere midway, say in Esopus, and have a duel.  Instead of swords, we can use tonearms. I’ll bring my Sumiko MMT. What sayeth thou? Fight, you coward!!!! 😡😂
