When I have seen people listing their systems lately


I have noticed a lot of people using conventional CD players and SACD players. I remember being at an Audiophile club meeting a couple of years ago and the owner of the store claiming conventional CD players were dead and obsolete.


Are conventional players gaining in popularity nowadays or are they just stalling till digital becomes more standardized.

I buy, almost exclusively, CDs. Rip them to computer and often spin them in a player. I like owning physical media. Never purchased a download.

I stream to find new music. Once found I buy the CD. I rip the CD to both a MACBook Pro and MAC Mini as AIFF. ALso have a disc spinner and use it often when not wanting to boot computer. I like to own physical copies, as this is the way I have bought music since I was 16 (50 years ago).

One thing I should mention, i have several systems and use the Macbook Pro as the source for all but my main system. Great to be able to take your entire music library with you.

I just realized that my last post was my 2nd here with basically the same message. This being my third, I think it is time for me to go listen to some music. I often tell my friends that I can be quite  self effacing, however in their company that attribute is not required.
