Streaming Is To Audio What Red Plastic Cups Are To Wine

When I first started streaming, I had the same opinion as the OP. Vinyl is king. My opinion is that a streamer puts out numbers. The real magic happens in the DAC. I’m set to get a MIMIC SW1X  Balanced Special II tube Dac in about a month. The dealer has agreed to break it in for me, before I audition it. I currently have a Kora Hermes II and it bests my albums hands down. I couldn’t believe it, but I’ve been converted. Still love vinyl, but Qobuz sounds great!

I love music .....even since a kid listening on my little pocket radio.But yes vinyl is great on a good system...I mean if l listened to 45s o. My mother's old welcome record player....which was little did I know a pretty good record player.My stepfather console stereo was nice...I had one of those...combos that came out in the late,60s...turn table,cd player,tuner...I like cassettes on my Panasonic cassettes player...Then got a good tt Technics sl 1350,Bose 901s,and Sony Str 7065 received...a nice Sony double cassettes deck..up graded through the years .A nice Onkyo cd player that was $500 bucks....always,brush cleaned my lps before playing  and took care of them....hey cheap is cheap....yeah  but does a glass make a cheap wine taste better....I think cheap is cheap...Boones Farm in a Crystal glass is still cheap.Maybe its me.....lol....Yes a nice lp on my system sounds great...but my cds sound great too....which sounds,better that depends,on how many plastic cups of wine I have....

Oh I forgot I don't stream....lol.

 Good for you! As some have suggested, "it's your opinion " I agree, but it's the right opinion. Some people prefer "bananas and rice" I prefer steak and lobster.
