The discussion has drifted to questions of aesthetics and the nature of collecting, among other things. I’m a bit of an oddity I think, as I’ve embraced ripp8ng and streaming, but hang on to (and play) vinyl and SACD - never mind blu-ray and DVD on the video side. I admire those who’ve gone down the rabbit hole and virtualised their whole collections. Their houses must be ever so clean and tidy!
