| The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD I don't get the appeal to streaming because my intent is the music I like to listen to. Having the world at my fingertips is meaningless and wasteful if I only like to listen to what would amount to about 1% of the music out there, comparatively s... | |
| I'll welcome myself back after a brief hiatus Welcome back @russ69. Sorry to hear about your hearing loss but the steps you've taken so far are more than making up for it. Adapting to a situation takes a discipline that some find hard but you're on the right track. Determination, too, helps ... | |
| No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy? @realgoodsound +1 All it takes is one or two or three anecdotal accounts of knowing someone who knows someone who's confessed to receiving something for something and it's off to the conspiracy races. It actually happened a lot back in the days... | |
| No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy? Great. Now we're gonna have to trust our own ears instead of being influenced and groomed. What has the world come to? All the best, Nonoise | |
| The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD I can always count on @grislybutter not to read between the lines something that isn't there, spinning it to suit his point of view. Why, oh why can't some people accept the notion that there will be contrary points of view on matters? I don't b... | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. Why don't you all just completely eliminate cables by buying an all in one with powered speakers using Wi-Fi or BT? Because those two mediums you mention will never sound as good and work as reliably as a wired connection. Most, if not all her... | |
| Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble? All the best, Nonoise | |
| The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD CDs outsell Vinyl in Great Britain and Europe (per unit). There are titles you can only get on CD and vice versa with streaming. I can give a tinkers fart how many articles and videos come out touting the death of CDs and Vinyl as it's usually fro... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! That's plenty of music, especially since the music I've collected I really want to listen to over and over again. Streaming? Why? It's a thing. All the kids are doing it. 😄 All the best, Nonoise | |
| Are your records a health concern? Are your records a health concern? Only if they're publicly available. | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! Umm, the costs may not be what you think they are.. "Listening to an album via a streaming platform for just five hours is equal in terms of carbon to the plastic of a physical CD, the comparative time for a vinyl record is 17 hours." Vinyl rec... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! Here's a great article from someone who knows over at Audiophilestyle.com. When taking the dive into streaming and storage, please be aware of the maintenance involved. Good discussion in the comments section as well. All the best, Nonoise | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! There was a time when it was said that CD is a thing and is here to stay. Streaming will eventually be done away with or relegated to the level that CDs and Vinyl are now enjoying and it will again, be done at the behest of some capitalistic moron... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! Name me one artist, group, or orchestra that is satisfied with the present system and wouldn’t want to go back to the older one. Yes, that one had its problems but they pale in comparison. Musicians just adapted and now it’s the new normal. Back ... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! In regard to artist's remuneration. The most popular artists do just fine between streaming royalties and concert dates. The obscure and/or unknown artists likely do better with streaming vs. hard copy. For one they get far more exposure via stre... |
