Who here continues to regularly use a CD player?


I do have a CD player, however, at this point, I rarely use it. I mostly listen to vinyl and stream.

Do you still regularly use your CD spinner?

Yes I do!  Plus I use streaming, and still have a great vinyl rig and collection.  Along with a very nice listening room!  I've been in the hobby over 45 years!

Just included an Eversolo DMP-8A to our system. Ripping our most listened to CD's; do not plan to do all so the CD equipment stays in place. Using both Tidal and the Eversolo to 'stream'.

Yes I do. I'm listening to my Esoteric Grandioso P1 / D1 as I type this.

It may be illogical, but I like listening to music where I made the commitment of buying a specific album - as opposed to just paying a general access subscription.

Not that I have anything against streaming - I just still enjoy my CDs - and vinyl.

@mylogic    I agree with you about the SYSTEMDEK IIX. They’re great TT’s for the money. I bought mine about 17 years ago with the stock tonearm and added a Sumiko Blue point special MC phono cartridge. The turntable was in very good shape for its age: I adjusted the suspension and cleaned out the bearing housing and re-oiled it. The motor was (and still is) in great shape. 

The black paint finish on the TT had faded so I resprayed it with piano black semi gloss paint.  

The bearings on the Profile tonearm were starting to wear at the time and at this point are worn out. So, I purchased a NOS Jelco S370H oil damped tonearm which was manufactured about the same time as the IIX.  And I plan to install that on the IIX in the future, along with a new belt.. 👍
