Why do you listen to records?

I haven't listened to my turntable for a few years now. I watch my grandkids at my house. I have a fear of one of them throwing a ball and causing $4000.00 damage in a heartbeat. I plan on setting it up before the year is out. Part of why I want it up and running is nostalgia. I love the gatefold LPs. LP art is as much a part of the experience as is the music. Much of my collection will never see release in any other format. Time is a factor as to why I don't have my VPI up and running. Going down to the basement (finished) to listen for 30 minutes would reduce listening time to maybe 15 minutes. Turntables are more time consuming. I may retire next year and have time on my hands.

  As for the answer as to which format sounds better: I've done my own research to answer this question. One situation that bugs me is when analogue guys claim turntables sound better. I look at their systems only to find OPPO (and other mid fi brands) as their choice of digital playback! ( to be fair, I've never heard a highly modded OPPO or don't flame me if you have one and love it) 30years ago when I was in my pursuit of the ultimate system I was upgrading monthly. I upgraded my CD player and made the proclamation "Ah Hah, CD sounds better!" Then I upgraded my turntable only to realize "Ah Hah! LP's are better!" You get the picture.

But I like vinyl, CD's and streaming because I can hear music I like on all of them, and I've got gear for vinyl and CD's that makes them sound great. Music is way more important to me than platform. 

Although I should have known , I didn’t mean to start a debate on the relative merits of digital vs.analog.  I was just curious about what record listeners play.  If they have enough of a choice when they sit down and listen to music. 
I find it easier and more enjoyable to stream since there are unlimited choices.

I prefer vynil because music has more souls in it. It cultivate my inner feelings. Though I love SAcds , xrcd, HDcd. I don’t do streaming because I have large collections of high end cds.
