bigtwinThe vinyl was very similar in DR with the earlier CD’s, only the last re-issue got compressed in 2014, and these are usually also the streamed/downable ones. https://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list/year?artist=Ry+Cooder&album=Bop+Till+You+Drop Cheers George |
As usual great stimulating responses from the community. I am not aware of an "appreciable" monetary value associated with CD's. Accordingly, the rip/server route is appealing. I just read about an Aurender A30 which has server/streaming capability along with an Acronova Nimbie for high volume ripping which is also appealing. I was not familiar with either of these until this tread so THANK YOU! |

I'm not going to get involved with streaming vs. cd battle, both can sound great. Getting quality streaming more involved than cd, so it requires some work on your part. Beyond all this, streaming opens you up to a whole new world of music. With cd's I was able to purchase only a fraction of what is available, even with my favorite artists, where I had multiple cd's. And then there is a multitude of artist with great music you've never heard of. It just goes on and on and on! I could never go back to limiting myself to constant rotation of the 2500 cd's I still possess! Streaming is for the music lover, I only wish the artists could derive a larger share of profit. |
