    I like both depending on my mood/situation. Actually I don't use CD's at all as they've all been ripped and accessed from my streamer along with Qobuz. Great for when I'm multitasking like watching cricket on the TV and listening to music but for relaxation I do like to settle down to a bit of vinyl which sounds just as good and sometimes better than digital sources.

    I use both formats as and when I feel like it. CD's are great, but some of the pressings are truly awful sounding, but they have memories attached to them so I still play them now and then.

    In the 80's, CD's were king for me... Although, I did still buy the vinyl version when I could.

    Vinyl is superior sounding for me.

    I used to stream music through my system but I can't be arsed now. It was great for a while but it just doesn't give me the same pleasure of something physical. So, system streaming for me streaming has gone along with the DO-DO. But streaming whilst in the car still seems to be okay... I still want to slot a cassette in now and then, though... There really isn't anything wrong with Cassettes.

    In what way is vinyl superior sounding?

    I just find it more organic, maybe it's just how I was brought up with things and the times too. Being in-between the analogue and digital revolutions has made me more pivotal to nostalgia.

    It's a strange one, all of my CDs lived in the garage and now they're here in my living room... Never play most of them but it feels nice to physically 'put' some music on rather than use an app. The latter seems bereft of meaning in some ways. But handy in less convenient situations. Like junk food ... Lol
