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.

@rvpiano thank you.  It’s on Income Tax Day, April 15, an easy date to remember.  Today’s project is to install the Wiim Streamer that arrived yesterday.  Thanks for the good wishes 

I had about 1000 LPs and still have about 2000 CDs.  I have given 

most of my LPs to my three sons, who - interestingly - like the same 

,music as me - Beatles, CSN, Chicago, ELO, James Taylor, Newman,

Nilsson, Todd Rundgren, Santana, The Who, Zappa.  I tried a streamer 

but did not like the sound quality - and I have good equipment, 

Magnepan speakers, Conrad Johnson electronics and Marantz CD player.

Right off the bat with 4 deleted posts. 
 

How dare someone miss physical media….

OP… I agree with your point.

Good Luck with the new hip and Keep Listening…
