Who here continues to regularly use a CD player?

I do love cd sacd xrcd and more, I play cd when I am not off. Vynil when Iam off. No streaming. Since I invested a lot on cd and Vynil. I decided to put 3set of analog set up on my three system, I have 4 sacd player , 2 tube cdp, 2 dac and 1 transport. So Iam very much stock on cd and Vynil .

@ibibble ”…much to my better parts dismay…”

Still on subject….just.

”Better parts” more often than not (so you are in good company) just don’t get the hi-fi thing. A mental blockage. However, do a count up of how many pairs of shoes, coats and handbags you can find. In all probability more accessories than can possibly be worn out in a lifetime. No difference to a lifetimes worth of collecting.

CDs, like clothes can fall out of fashion and a good excuse to buy new ones, like shoes, coats and handbags. Tell it what it is next time you feel pushback with your hobby. I would not ever suggest you saying that music is your first love, even if it’s true.

Keep the CDs and LPs spinning, it just makes sense. Music doesn’t change but people do. At least you can rely on the music to not dump you.

Right there with you on that one. One of the finest record decks of the 80s. All that has ever been required is a regular oil change and new belt. It was that good from the start, no upgrades required!
A deck like that keeps you wanting to carry on playing those records. Curious to know what arm and cartridge you have mounted.

I stream about 90% of the time.  I would love to spin more CDs and records, but unfortunately I can’t due to physical limitations.

I Still use CD's.  SACD and Blu Ray as well.  The Blu ray especially as they can be high sampling (audio only or outstanding video concerts).   Still using  the OPPO 205 I was fortunate to get.  I have a Kenwood Elite CD player in two of my Trucks and I can watch DVD video concerts (listen!) while in my vehicles with killer audio.  

I am using my CDT less and less these days.  While I have ripped a few hundred disks, I have a few thousand more.  I really should rip more and move on, but between what I have ripped and streaming,  I’m not seeing any urgency to do so.
