Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile?

I think that might be more accurate for delusions..

It’s pretty obvious digital has more detail than analog. But analog is more musical. Untreated CDs in untweaked systems are kind of the worst case scenario, inasmuch as they almost ALWAYS sound thin, wiry, bass shy, rolled off, tinny, electronic, lumpy, two dimensional, boring, synthetic, fake, congealed, and a lot like paper mache.

It wouldn't destroy the illusion, but might impinge the narrative.

  I have both a decent vinyl rig and digital.  Broad generalizations like the above has just not been my experience.  For me it "almost ALWAYS" comes down to the individual recordings.  Sometimes vinyl sound better...sometimes digital.  I'm just happy to have the choices and do not feel the need to draw a line in the sand and take a stand for one or the other.  Same is true of streaming... just another choice.
