MissingCDs and records


Since I have had a long-standing hip problem (now being fixed,) I have physically been unable to play CDs and more significantly, records.  
I bought an outstanding streamer (Aurelac 200) to cope with my disability, and am very happy with the sound it’s producing .  However, I’m now finding that, despite the superlative sound of the Aurelac, I’m missing the experience of relishing individual discs and records which have their own character and speak to me. They’re like old friends you can’t replace with a stream.  Of course there are many advantages to streaming, including a universal discography to select from, but having that intimate contact with an artifact is a special feeling.

A labour of love. Best to keep all listening options open for maximum flexibility and enjoyment.

I still have about 8400 pieces of music (LPs and CDs), Tidal and Roon. This way, I can enjoy the laziness of streaming along with the more tactile experience of physical medium.

I still enjoy the thrill of searching for and finding gems at record shows or even at the local thrift store. Hobby? Addiction? Whatever, because it is harmless and enjoyable.😀🎶🎼🎵😀

Good luck with the hip surgery.
