@hifiman5 I’m intrigued by the fact that you are seeking some of the source material. I part because I’ve been contemplating selling much of my cd collection because so much of it is accessible via streaming services. Even hiRes services (I use Qobuzz). There are, however a number of CDs that I can’t find on streaming services, such as Pale Fountains - Pacific Street or other parts of their catalog. Therefore I have been ripping them onto my HiFi Rose streamer (and computer). I love the accessibility and ability to create digital “mixed tapes”.
Once ripped, other than perhaps a few collectibles I’m left staring at a wall full of discs that just gather dust.
I had read that CDs are beginning to see a small uptick in sales as they are becoming nostalgic to a generation born in the mid to late 80s. I just don’t see the demand for them becoming anything like early-print vinyl.
Does anyone have first hand experience selling a CD collection and what people are getting on a avg price per disc?
