| WAF -- @hleeid Very good story. It sounds familiar in so many ways.When I got the Maggies, I started with them at about 2 ft. from the wall. She said that’s nice, but can they be a little closer to the wall? Ea. day I fudged them out a bit farther, until... | |
| Youngsters these days. ++dramatictenor and markpao I also have very little problems with crackle and pops on my LPs and overall, for critical listening, to me, they sound more musical and engaging than CDs, but I haven’t the experience with streaming to make a fair call... | |
| Youngsters these days. Thanks uberwaltz, I'll check on that.....Jim | |
| Youngsters these days. @isochronism That’s good!!!! And probably true.....Jim | |
| Youngsters these days. @isochronism I feel very safe in saying I'LL NEVER STREAM!!! HAYea, that's where I was a week ago, but now thinking - maybe just a little. LOL@larryi Many of the currently available digital sources of reissues sound quite bad.I've found the same,... | |
| Youngsters these days. I have been looking through AGone and AudioMart listings for a used CDP that will play Red Book CDs, SACD and accommodate streaming. Maybe I'm wrong but, It looks like I might have to choose between one that is CD/SACD or one that is CD/Streaming ... | |
| Youngsters these days. Looks like. | |
| Youngsters these days. @isochronism ;-) | |
| Youngsters these days. @douglas_schroeder Good hearing from you again.After talking to you, I remembered that I had a matching set of speaker cables that I used for bi-wiring on a different set of speakers. My little Maggies are not set up for bi-wiring so I was only us... | |

| Youngsters these days. @stevencasonMaybe he thinks if you want a new CD player you should buy it. When I help my family I never ask for anything in return.No, pretty sure he knew I was kidding about the buying part. His response was more about why anyone would want or u... | |
| Youngsters these days. @oldhvymec You are lucky to have kids that will want and appreciate your audio, when you move on.My son lives many miles away and has so many other interests, that does not include music, I doubt that anything to do with my audio gear or collectio... | |
| Youngsters these days. @oregonpapa I can relate to all of that! And Thanks from me as well@bdp24 He has a killer computer and gaming system, but the sound system is just a sound bar and ear buds for on the go. OK I guess but nothing like the systems we were interested i... | |
| Youngsters these days. @big_greg By the way, "OK Boomer" isn't really a compliment. I'm nearing 60.I see that now. Guess I'm going to have to have a talk with that young man LOL.....Jim | |
| Youngsters these days. Thanks all for the comments and advise. While I probably will never give up my LPs and CDs, I might do well to upgrade to a newer (either new or used) CDP/DAC capable of running streaming devices. When it comes to streaming, never say never, I gue... |
