CD's or Vinyl?

If the digital source were limited to CDs I'd probably choose vinyl.  Between vinyl and high-res downloads I am not so sure.

Playing the downloads on my Aurender is so convenient, and the SQ so high it is a strong contender, but the sense of "being there" that pure analog playback gives might be the deciding factor.  I have about 3,000 LPs and all but a handful are analog recordings.

What's a CD?

For many of us cd's have become redundant since we have at least equal sound quality via rips and streams. Vinyl not redundant since it has unique sound qualities, meaning all analog provenance. If vinyl has any digital provenance that uniqueness out the door so I'm picking streams and rips. Vinyl will become redundant when all  vinyl mastering done in digital realm.

Just starting out, I’d choose streaming. Phys-med takes too much room to store. And streaming can only get better over time, right? Downside, political editing.

By my count, excluding the non-committed, it's:

CD's - 12

Vinyl - 13

I'll throw my vote in for vinyl too so that's vinyl by "2"!
