I moved a few years ago from the East Coast to the SW USA. I downsized my CD collection from a couple thousand to about 600 "keepers" I never listen to a straight CD anymore although I have an Oppo transport. All those CD's were ripped to a hard drive with triple backups. I agree with Uberwaltz, the CD doesn't have the palpability of an LP (I don't listen to LPs anymore). So I stream Tidal and tap my hard drive library.
