Who listens primarily to Redbook CD?

My primary (only, actually) source is a CEC TL5 Transport feeding an Audio Note Kit 1.1 NOS DAC through a Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme AES/EBU digital cable. They are both decked out with CT GE power cords, Synergistic Research Quantum Black fuses, Herbie's Audio Lab Tenderfeet isolation footers, plus other misc. tweaks.

Sounds great, and I have very little desire to add another source. Pretty much all the music I want is available on CD, and is usually quite cheap. I hope to upgrade to an AN factory DAC (3.1x/II, or better, would be nice), and a Teo Audio liquid metal digital cable (I have their Game Changer ICs, and absolutely love them!) in the future.

Who else is happy with Redbook CD as their primary source?

thats one of the top reasons: collection on display.

if not from the personal satisfaction i get from seeing my virtually complete May 77 grateful dead catalog, then it comes from when i (as a single man) have women over and ask them to pick out something to listen to.

they have to stand up on tip toes to read A-B
they have to bend over to read N-S

that alone keeps me from ever going to PC audio.
