What CDs to buy


I never thought I would get a CD player but opportunity knocked a couple months ago and here I am with an Audio Research CD6.  All my CDs from 30 years ago are mostly music I no longer listen to much.  I primarily listen to vinyl and stream but thought it would be cool to have an AR top loader and maybe seek out a few special CDs.  Any thoughts on specific CD releases that will give me some renewed respect for the shiny discs?

What kind of music do you like?  If you stream you can sample a lot of music and purchase CDs that sound particularly good or CDs that you think will musically hold your attention long term.

@designsfx I listen to classic rock, blues, soul, R&B, jazz and a little classical.  For streaming I use Qobuz and Amazon Music.

Physical media is hitting the shelves at thrift store from people who are streaming. My advice is hit the local stores and binge on CD's while you can get them cheap.

@tomcy6 I do stream a lot of different and new music but was not sure about purchasing CDs simply based on this.  I had been under the impression that there were certain CDs to focus on but am admittedly ignorant about CDs and sound quality.
