Serge, I remember that Ivan once wrote: "I'll never part with my physical media", and I felt the same... until quite recently.
My streaming set-up now equals and in quite some (a lot of) cases even surpasses my (SA)CD collection in sound quality.
I see myself pulling less and less silver discs out of our huge collection.
I don't intend to rip them, it's too much work, and Qobuz has 98% of them in their catalogue.
One disadvantage: if Qobuz goes out of business, or internet is down, I loose a lot of my favourite music... but then we'll still have the thousands of discs which we intend to keep for now.
So maybe, I'll never part with my physical media either?! Never say never...
By the way, congrats on your > 666 posts!
