Streaming Is To Audio What Red Plastic Cups Are To Wine

My take on it is…

streaming is content. Your network, streamer and DAC…that’s the vessel. You can be listening to the best possible recording from your favorite streaming service and if your digital front end is not optimized, you're drinking your wine from the plastic cup.
Same applies to vinyl. With a cheap table, basic cartridge and crappy phono stage you’re again drinking from the plastic cup but now you’re choking on all the sediment as well.
To me vinyl and streaming are two completely different means of enjoying the same content. They sound different, and I enjoy both. Even though lately my listening is 75% vinyl 25% streaming but that’s just because my vinyl rig is a new toy. 

I see no point in CDs or SACDs unless the recording isn’t available on streaming. 

My $0.02

Music is the thing!  All the rest is details.  Last week I found a Dizzy Gillespie album on Qobuz that was new to me.  It sounded great too.  So I found a copy, double CD, on ebay in like new condition for peanuts.  Free shipping too.  It sounds and looks like new too.  Life is good.  I have a lot of these same cuts on vinyl too.  They sound great too.  A man can't have too much Dizzy.  It is all good.

I don't stream. Once in a while I try but I always go back to vinyl and CD. 

I don't think the analogy is good though. If you had added: from your phone to a bluetooth speaker...

oh wow...look at these very beautiful atmos/dts high fidelity audio blu-rays man...

While you guys were busy spinning your vinyl plastic red cups and driving around in your pontiacs, i was already sitting in a f22 raptor, using your pontiacs and plastic red cups for target practice.
