This exactly.

It’s the ceremonial steps that precedes the listening experience that adds flavour to the enjoyment.

If I want to just listen music and do other things I just use Apple Music + AirPods/Soundbar, but if I want to listen a certain album and make the experience more active, I use the record player.

My music collection on vinyl is curated since each album involves a higher cost.

There is also my fascination on analog things, I have an automatic turntable and love the orchestra of mechanical sounds from all the internal components.

Edit: Forgot to mention that on streaming platforms sometimes the only version available is a remastered version that was rereleased on CD that fucked the dynamic range during the loudness war or is an edit of the original one.

    Exactly. Its a ritual for the listening experience. If I had to add up the hours of listening to Vinyl vs streaming, streaming would win hands down. But I love the vinyl when I use it which is usually an experience. We do a lot of vinyl around the holidays since we spend a lot of time in my living room relaxing. Which adds to the experience
