| Ruminations On CD Players @soix You are the one that brought up your “perceived” limitations of streaming and brought this off topic, not me. And here's the OP's query: Any recommendations on CD players in this price range? I only have music CDs so don't need anyth... | |
| Ruminations On CD Players @soix Oh brother, are you being anal today. I brought up what I see as limitations of a medium and you take it oh so personally, like I attacked you and you only. Your caveat about "counter to my experience" is running a bit thin and the only vali... | |
| Ruminations On CD Players @soix This happens all the time. Someone asks about CDPs or CDTs and members like you take a crap on the thread and talk about streaming to the point of shoving it down their throats. Get a life. Your turn will come when another thread about str... | |
| Ruminations On CD Players @soix Getting rather picky for my typing too quickly and leaving out an "r", eh? "At least on Qobuz" isn't representative of the entire industry. I never said I can't randomly find music online as I do it all the time without streaming. It's j... | |
| Ruminations On CD Players @lalitk I did not mean this to be a debate, just a matter of differing opinions. @dabel Hey, two out of three ain't bad at all. 😄 Despite CDs not doing as well as vinyl and streaming here, stateside, CDs have double the sales of vinyl in Germ... | |
| Ruminations On CD Players @lalitk No, it's not the same for the very same reason you brought up: physical touch, which was my point. Akin but not exact. Everyone who pushes streaming sounds like they're reciting ad copy from the manufacture. Others here have pointed out ... | |
| Ruminations On CD Players I just read that online shopping hurts new product discovery. When you go to a grocery store, you buy whatever you like and come across. When you buy on Instacart, you buy the same thing as last time, so low variety. Online grocery shopping makes ... | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It A properly set up stereo system can't be beat (in my experience). What I have heard in regards to surround sound was gimmicky, at best. It was not natural sound. I've never experienced sound coming from my sides or from behind unless I was turned ... | |
| anybody upgrade from Dynaudio Special 40 to Heritage Special? You might want to check out Revival Audio and their Atalante 3 monitors. The owner/designer is Daniel Emonts who was lead engineer at Dynaudio for about 7 years and he did the Special 40 and Heritage series along with the Evoke, Countour 2016, Con... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time Uhh...the LHY-SW-8 is not an $8k audio "switch". It only costs $594. All the best, Nonoise | |
| How serious are you? @bdp24 +1 I wish I could write as eloquently and cogently as you do on a bottle of my favorite beverage. 😄 That's exactly the reason I tried to convey in that I've finally settled on what's good enough for me to just sit back and listen. All the... | |
| How serious are you? @mapman Every hobby has that potential to go the way of the slippery slope. I call it an obsession based on what I myself went through and am so relieved to be satisfied to the point of not even calling it a hobby anymore. It's now more of a fulf... | |
| How serious are you? I'm with larsman in that I'm very satisfied with my present system. That, and this is kind of a clickbait question if there ever was one. I can't recall the last time I was asked how obsessed I was with something without someone thinking I needed ... | |
| Ethernet streaming @hgeifman That is very much the same way Srajan does with his system. He's tried many servers and found that something like the Taiko Supreme was needed to better his setup but wasn't willing to drop $34K on it. I don't stream but find his re... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time @fredrik222 You need a new writer. One that can type competently. All the best, Nonoise |
