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.

I'm still recovering from  an 11 hour back surgery back in September, involving T9 all the way to the sacrum. So I empathize.

Lost on the physical vs streaming argument (in addition to the money we lose on streaming) is that we actually PROGRAM  recordings in terms of what comes when. It's part of the art form.
