I prefer inserting a cd and listening to the MUSIC of my favorite artists.....Streaming tends to be a "Bounce around" affair with listening to a half song of this and a half song of another artist and 15 seconds of another artist that I just discovered that I don’t like their music.....It’s not enjoyable to me. too much herky jerky. The newest thing is not always the best thing for everybody.
Rumors of CD Demise Exagerated? New Hegel
A few years ago ago Hegel issued “The Mohican”, proclaiming the name was chosen because CD was a dying format and that this would be the the last CDP that one would ever have to acquire. They have now issued a new player, of which I read the review in Hi Fi News. I forgot what they actually named it, but the reviewer waggishly suggested they name it Lazarus, as the format may be arising from the dead.
If anyone has actually heard the player, I would be interested in their impressions.
Other manufacturers such as Denon have also released “statement “ players recently.
Otherwise, does anyone think that this is a stay of execution for the format?
