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?

Same here. There are no right or wrong answers. Just different interpretations.  

I suppose the paradigm shift is digital itself, which lead to CD and streaming, not to mention its infiltration into vinyl.

and I can add I know little to 0 about streaming so I don't know what I am talking about

I don’t think the problem is necessarily anger as such. In my view, it’s polarisation and a failure to see nuances.

We’re seen as either vinyl or digital guys. I refuse to be categorised like this. I love both. There’s digital in my vinyl record replay chain and neddledrops in my digital music library. 

true. Let me spread a few of my unfounded and wacky feelings about streaming :)
