I get what you are doing. But honestly, you can do decent sounding streaming for just a bit more… think Bluesound. With a Qobuz or Tidal you can get they nearly infinite library. You can control from your bed. Gives you a chance to play with streaming in the home environment. Why collect stuff that is being obsoleted. In general you can do equal sounding streaming for maybe 10 - 20% extra cost. It is the future… your young… good time to wet feet. I have a high end turntable and streamer… same sound quality (see my user ID)
First CD player help!
Hi everyone,
I am going to the darkside....
But only in my bedroom :)
I am a turntable enthusiast. It's been my only source for many years but I recently setup a turntable in my bedroom system and honestly do not enjoy having to get out of bed to flip the record and because I'm not actively listening I feel I'm not getting everything from the listening experience I would in front of my main.
I know all about streaming and love it but only for when I'm on the subway, my car, running around etc. When given all of the world's music my ADD head wants to move onto the next artist, album or song, before whats playing even finishes. I miss selecting a piece of physical media, putting it on and letting it play.
So that got me thinking about CDs.
I'm a young(ish) guy, 30 and got into music around the same time the first MP3 players hit the market so never really got into CDs. I recently purchased a guy's entire CD collection (400plus) and am now trying to figure out a decent CD player to add to my bedroom system and possibly down the road another for my main rig.
My bedroom setup is tube based. Rogue RP1 pre, Rogue ST-80 amp, Vandersteen 3Asig speakers. And one of those cheap Schiit Dacs.
I think I'd rather go CD player vs transport at this time. And would like to spend around $500 (either new or used works for me).
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers,
Sammy
