If Steve Got You Last Week...

Now, that is interesting dctom

How do those ripped CD files sound compared to Tidal & Qobuz?

Don’t tell anyone, but I’m going strictly digital.

Appreciate the comments +1 to you both.

When I did have a decent 2 channel system, I had a Roon Nucleus as my music server connected via USB to W4S 2v2SE Dac.  It sounded much better than my Oppo BDP95 disc player.

Simaudio seems to be getting a lot of good press these days.

I know Advanced Audio in Tacoma WA (now under the Definitive Audio’s umbrella) is now carrying their gear and promoting with the Vandersteen line now.

Only in Canada...Eh!

I loved vinyl in my younger years, way before CD’s. An Oracle turntable, Black Widow tone-arm and a Shure V15 type III cartridge made those records sound oh, so sweet! Had a couple of thousand albums as well (wish I still had them, just for the monetary value).

Being a bit of a nomad, I used to move around, at least every couple of years, and a lot of those places had not much room even for my stereo let alone all those plastic milk cases that I used to drag the records around in, not to mention the weight of those things! Just got tired of dragging it all around, so it all off (way to cheap).

I think if I stayed put, I would probably still have all that stuff, but it seems that I’m still moving every 2-3 years. Between my bad back and small spaces it looks like I’ll be scaling up on my streaming hilde45, that is, once I rebuild!
