As has been said over and over and argued to the point of exhaustion. Streaming is not a replacement to vinyl but a compliment to all other sources of music a person has access to. For me I will take music any way I can get it. Yes there are delivery sources that are much better and enjoyable than others but don’t think they will ever create an isolation system that will allow me to play a album in my car. I still use and enjoy my Nakimichi Dragon cassette deck and the live radio concerts I recorded over the years. Many will bash this medium but I don’t care as I will take my access to music any way I can. Enjoy the ride, enjoy the music and wear a teflon coat for the criticism to come!
The problem with streaming
As I sit here listening to America Includes: "A Horse With No Name", I realized the problem with streaming. Who knows what source material you're getting with streaming? The album I'm listening to is a Warners Brothers green label. Sonics are absolutely incredible! The band sounds like they're in the room!
Navigating the pressings to find the best one can be challenging but that's part of the fun of the hobby. I doubt the same care is taken when generating streaming recordings. You're stuck with what they use, thus missing the incredible texture of the best recordings.
Of course, great care must be taken to set up the turntable and match all components downstream. I find the effort to be well worth it! There's just no substitute for great analog!
