Why do you listen to records?
Do you listen to records for the SQ, or do you just prefer to listen to music through this medium?
I find myself putting records on occasionally, ( I have a large collection) but I’m not sure if it’s because of their sound. I certainly have the availability of millions of songs or compositions to listen to by streaming, and the sound quality is just abut the same, and, of course, the variety is endless.
So why listen to records?

My last vinyl was a pressing of some classical music so badly done , it pop without stop after few listening... It was perhaps my needle ... But i go on listening mainly some good Bach music pressing which never popped and few choral albums well done materially and it was enough for me for years... It was in 1978, i never buy another vinyl till the cd came... it is evident that there is a difference between cd and vinyl... But there is too much factors at play in the system/room to criticize anyone from any viewpoint... As i said where do you buy vinyl albums of Persian and Indian music ? Do you listen only Western music from Western pop of the golden era on vinyl ? This question between vinyl and digital is as preposterous as the war between subjectivist and objectivist... (on an acoustical deeper viewpoint) I am so immersed in music that the object for me is best kept as minimalistic, all my albums are in digital immaterial format...( where do you put thousands of vinyl? ) If i was very rich i will had a system for vinyl with a table around 100,000 bucks for sure... but i dont suffer from that "misfortune" to be poor when i listen music with low cost digital format in well optimized system/room.. I collect music not material albums... But i understand too the happiness of those who own these vinyl albums...It is a life journey i had never gone through...
