Got tired of ticks, pops, warps, SRA, VTA, protractor, alignment, anti-skating, force, cleaning, no remote, getting up to turn over record...
Sold my last turntable after I bought my first CDP and have been a happy camper ever since.
Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs?
I'm curious why you still play CDs in the age of streaming. I recently got back into CD listening and I'm curious if your reasons align with mine, which are:
- Enjoying the physical medium—the tactile nature of the case, the disc, the booklet, etc.
- Forcing myself to actually listen to an album, versus being easily distracted by an algorithm, or "what's next" in my playlist.
- Actually owning the music I purchase, versus being stuck with yet another monthly subscription.
Others?
