coffe or wine ; digital or analog

Yeah, pouring bourbon [emoji1634] really does not take anything but effort pulling out a glass, removing the bottle cap and pouring. [emoji16]

Easy. Haven't listened to analog since the early 80s. Coffee or wine is different, since I can live without either. However, the music does go better with wine, so I guess coffee has to go. Thank goodness in the real world I can have it all. At least so far.
 
About 8 months ago, I gave up both coffee and alcohol about 95% along with losing 20lbs to solve some health issues without drugs. I love a good cup of coffee but know it's bad for the body. I now drink one cup of Decaf Sumatra one day every other weekend. As for alcohol, it is one beer, shot, or share a bottle with my wife 1 to 2 times a week on weekends only. (rare occasions or events excluded)

As to the real question, I was dumb enough to sell or give away all my albums in 1986 or 7 when I bought my first CD Player and CDs. Fast Forward to last fall, my wife made a deal with a woman selling her late husbands gear and after selling most of it after toying with it for a while, I ended up with a Rega P3 for $5. So now I am slowly buying up some old used and some new LPs to replace ones I loved and do not have in digital. As much as I like albums, if I had to choose, I would keep digital only for the convenience and cost/wear factor of Analog.
 
Id replace coffee with tea, I wouldn't give up wine. If you cant justify having two or more music formats then maybe music really isn't your thing, time to find a new hobby.

I would give up this hobby if vinyl was the only format. There is no way I would fiddle with the hassle and cost of vinyl on a daily basis. Any possible SQ pluses considered.

I am perfectly happy with one format (I haven’t played my SACD player for at least a year). When I listen to music I sit back and listen to it nonstop for hours. I started at 6 PM tonight, and will go to at least midnight. The only time I will get up is to either get a beer, or take a leak.
 
Easy if have to choose between coffee and wine , since I rarely drink wine, only on occasion , so it would be the first to go and I'm heavy into both analog and digital , but If i had to choose, i would give up the digital ..

multiple Turntables arms and carts are way more fun :)
 
What? Those coasters aren't for the early morning wine spillage?Hmm, guess Im wine & digital then. I own a coffee shop though, slight disclaimer with a roaster & at least half a tonne of green coffee beans at one time. Don't think I'll run out of coffee anytime soon, virus or not!
 
I would miss my Whiskey but I need the morning coffee more. I have moved on from Analog sometime ago so Digital for me.

as expected, doesn't look like there is clear winner here ... other than [morning] coffee which has a very devoted installed base. the morning stimulant seems to be more important than the evening relaxant.

thus far, digital seems to have an edge in preference with convenience or "gave up analog a long time ago and am not getting involved again" being the motivation. otoh, the vinyl fans here are hard core and seem to be pretty much SQ driven.
