    CD
    CDs for the shows I’ve been to, FLAC for the rest. 
    Found: Soundgarden Hyde Park DVD (Thank you for the gift!)

    CD
    I don't download anything.  For one thing, I don't have an MP3 player.  For another, CDs sound better than anything else. 

    I've got about ten years of download codes from the Ten Club that sit unredeemed.  Maybe someday they'll let us use them for CDs.  (Not holding my breath.)
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    A bit of everything.
    I started buying MP3. After doing so i bought FLACS and Flac HD.
    From now on i'll probably get Flac HD for the shows i really want.

    Used to buy the CDs but now just use my code to download a show I like the look of. I must say I still have a code sitting there, I’m waiting to use it on a new show, hopefully a 2022 one, or an Ed one!? I did download one of the Ohana shows but haven’t listened to it that much. 
    I'm like this. I think I'll start using my codes but I don't want MP3 so I'm looking at twice as much for HD. Given the source I'm just not sure it's really worth it.

    It just depends on the quality of your DAC and speakers.  If you have quality gear,  you'll hear a difference.  If it's mid level or below,  less likely. 

    Regarding CD, there should be no audible difference between flac and cd if it runs through the same DAC.  They are both the same depth and resolution.
