Yeah, rip 'em and have the best of both worlds. It takes some work to understand how to optimize the sound of digital. It's worth it!
Rediscovery
Being a member of the “streaming revolution” for some time now, I’ve barely listened to my large CD collection (I’ve listened to records because I acquired a new analog setup). Several thousand CDs have been lying fallow. This is partially due to mobility issues (although records are more demanding,) and the convenience and lure of listening to new music, Now, I’m delving into my CDs and discovering treasures long forgotten. Although it’s a little more effort, I find it very much worth it. It’s like refinding old friends. Very rewarding.
Any of you having this experience?
