Looking for a component for ripping and playing CD's.
I have had the Oppo 105 and 203 for years.  If they rip that is news to me  
Sviatoslav Richter. Greatest pianist of the last century?
He was a great Pianist.  Was he the greatest ever?  It’s a ridiculous notion   
Enjoying "Affordable" Equipment
I bought the same turntable, with an Ortofon 2M Blue mm cartridge and a Cambridge Audio preamp.  I put it in a secondary system, my basement HT system, playing in 2 channel.  The intent was to move it to the big system upstairs after I reconfigure...

Melco.  I have a N100 NAS and subsequently bought their ripper which can double as a CD player.  The N100 is also a player and used with an app such as mConnect will also play streaming services such as Tidal, Qobuz and a few others   
1990 Radio Shack catalog
Did RS start out catering to the ham radio crowd?  I remember an awful lot of shelf space being devoted to accessories for that hobby.  One of my friends father was a ham operator and I remember seeing him constantly at the store that I mentioned ... 
1990 Radio Shack catalog
@cleeds   very cool that was a nostalgia blast.  I miss having those stores just to pop into.  There was one adjacent to a restaurant where I bussed tables in the evening and I would kill a few minutes there if I was early

I’m allergic to dogs.  Not sure how sneezing all over the ls would make them sound better   
Ethernet cable for music streaming
I’m new to this thread, but has the OP tried experimenting with a different DAC and/or different streamer?  If he was that unhappy as he describes in the initial post I am skeptical that a change in Ethernet cabling or power supply are going to so... 
dac recommendations for turntable listener?
+1 for the Bryston BDA-3.   It’s particularly great with DSD.  I find that most analog lovers prefer digital as DSD  
Recordable CD/DVDs are vanishing too
Yes, thanks a bunch  
Find the Problem
Interesting.  I played a few albums today that I have had cleaned with Ultrasound, all with lots of treble and orchestral climaxes.  No problems.  
Recordable CD/DVDs are vanishing too
Thanks Cleeds. My Googling had suggested that Channel Master had been bought out by TiVo.  I used the link to contact them and they suggested do a Factory Reset.  Problem solved   
Find the Problem
The digital sources in the system that has the turntable, my basement system, do not show this problem.  I believe that narrows the issue down to the turntable, arm, cartridge/stylus, phono pre amp, or perhaps the LPs.   I have hardly listened to... 
1990 Radio Shack catalog
Very cool.  I’d like to see a catalog from the early seventies, when I actually shopped at Radio Shack.  I think I only bought one component from them, my first separate FM tuner
