What percentage of digital vs. analog?

To those who have large classical record collections, what percentage of the time do you spend listening to your records?
Most, but not all, classical analog recordings are available with streaming. (I can’t speak for other genres.) Do you find that records generally sound better? I know there are audiophile record pressings that are exceptional. Also many older recordings from the 60s and 70s are unmatched.
But it seems to me that, at least in classical which I mostly listen to, digital sounds at least as good or better.
So, do you listen to records for sentimental reasons?

Probably 90% of the time digital playback.  But once we put on an LP, there is nothing that compares to that sound reproduction.  It is so magical to listen to.  To our ears, the LP makes digital playback sound average at best in direct comparison.  But like I said, still 90% of the time we spin a shinny little round disc!

Happy Listening.
