Any source other than digital streaming is just nostalgia. A good streamer with a good external DAC would beat any vinyl or CD at any price point. If you are claiming otherwise you are not living in reality, that is just admiration to nostalgia. Collecting CD or Vinyl is sort of useless fool’s errand. When you have access to 30 million songs, what is the point of accumulating physical Vinyl or CD etc. Young generations will not have luxury of having big houses and listening rooms. Speaker technology is advancing very rapidly, bookshelf speakers are becoming extremely good. Devialet for example has great product for younger generation. Our 200 lbs speakers will turn to relics of past or collectible items. Digital is future, adopt and move on.
Sounds like a lot of hot wind from someone who's using motivated reasoning to justify the cash he's poured into his system. Otherwise, why the white hot put down instead of just stating what you prefer?
30 million songs at my fingertips and I can care less for about 29,999,000 of what's out there and worrying and fretting about the size of some future generations room size? You should write copy for streaming services.
As for myself, I only listen for my listening pleasure and could care less how others do theirs. Not here to impress others, but simply to share.
All the best,
Nonoise
