RE: I do, too.

I still purchase CDs if they aren't available as high resolution (24-bit) downloads and even play them on a CD player. I rip all my CDs to a NAS drive but I find that by having three different sources to choose from (vinyl, CD, hi-res) it keeps me wanting to engage in "serious" listening rather than streaming background music.

I still buy LPs as well but my vinyl purchases are limited to used records that haven't been reissued as other formats or current releases only available on vinyl.

Happily listening,
Tom

PS: I've been recording LPs more often these days. What I found interesting (but not surprising) is that some of my 24-192 vinyl recordings sound much better than the same album I have on CD. Not all, sometimes the differences are very subtle. Conversely, I have a couple of hi-res reissues (24-96 & 24-192 remasters) that sound better than the LP version. It points out the importance of mixing and mastering and reinforces my enjoyment of having more than one source to listen to.
