Streaming Is To Audio What Red Plastic Cups Are To Wine

For me, streaming is like drinking from a wine glass. Vinyl is like drinking wine from a coffee mug.  Lol

I'm sure everyone's experience is dependent on the gear that they have. I have decent gear for vinyl playback, but not top of the line. It sounds really good, but not better than streaming.

I did purchase The Pineapple Thief on vinyl last night. We'll see how it sounds. 

I love my collection of SACDs...but if I'm sitting with my wife listening, she can only handle so much of my music. Rather than having to get up and find another disc to play (multiple times a night)...we can use Tidal and play whatever she or I wanna hear.

It's eliminated much bickering about what to listen to.

My experience is that my CD’s ripped to the NAS as AIFF files sounds way better than Qobuz . I just did not enjoy it or connect with it emotionally. I actually really enjoy listening to streams for radio stations. And I gave up vinyl years ago,

The original posting of wine / plastic cup analogy resonated with me. I LOVE my vinyl collection, and concur with many respondents on their reasons why they like vinyl. 
But... as a PhD university professor chemist, I have to throw a little water on the analogy to remind everyone: vinyl IS plastic!

Unfortunately, a lot of music is not available on vinyl - especially going forward in the 21st century.

So I guess you could say, "limiting yourself to vinyl is the red plastic cup of wine for people who truly love music and being part of the world of music."
