I’m truly sorry you’re disturbed.
Personality
I now find myself streaming most of the time. Although the SQ is really good, I realize there’s something missing. When I pull out a record or CD, each one seems to have a uniqueness or personality of its own which reflects when I first bought it or played it. Also each one seems to have a sound signature which I associate with it, making it more personal. I don’t get that with streaming
Does anyone else feel this way?

@rvpiano Not in my audio system!!! Streaming through my rig sounds just as intimate, just as cozy and involving, just as exciting, just as awesome as CD or vinyl ever did for me. Streamed music is nothing more than another source, who’s sound quality is totally dependent (like anything else) on how it’s implemented. Streaming done right, IMOH, is one of the most ingenious inventions in the history of high-end audio. That’s why I’ve been streaming exclusively for over four years now. And in over 40 years, I’ve never been happier. Anyone can opt to listen to their music any way they please. In whatever way that’s most pleasing to their ears. It’s all there for us all to enjoy. Oh, but I still love seeing others rock their turn tables, CD players, reel-to-reels, etc., (I grew up with and loved all of them), as they all still sound awesome, keeping the old school spirit alive, as it all harken me back to the good old days (my youth) Lol!!! Happy listening. |
Personally, I don't have strong attachments to my CDs and LPs although I sometimes like to read the inserts or look at the covers. That's not enough to make me go out and purchase new ones though, except in rare cases. I don't feel that pulling a CD or LP out of my collection makes for a more satisfying experience than picking one off my tablet to stream. Streaming sounds great and Qobuz has so many more albums than I do. |
