I have streamer (ifi zen / Wiim pro plus) and CD player (Pioneer Elite). I listen mostly to the hi-rez music stored in SSD assessed thru ifi zen. I plan to procure Wiim ultra that also features usb port for local music collection.

Enjoy TT, CD and streaming (newly acquired), like them all but the only one that reaches the subline is the TT. 

IMO the most efficient way to realize that peaceful musical zone is the way to go. LP’s, CD’s waste of time and effort, seldom did I find a recording that I enjoyed from beginning to end. Spent a couple of years making flack CD’s then boredom set in. If the hobby is playing with equipment buying, selling, trading, jigging around all day perhaps I’d feel different. Streaming with a large room / system, comfortable seating, and a couple of remotes is my way to go.

VPI Classic 2 turntable with Rogue Ares phono amp, PS Audio PerfectWave SACD transport, Naim Uniti Core server.  I regularly use them all, but the server gets the most use since I can call up tracks using its app on my iPad.  It's called laziness.
