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?

@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.. 👍

 

 

 

 

 

Been doing it for decades. 80%cd10%vinal10% tape,oops common core math got me cuz that's 110%. Have 20 of those things only 1 does not work. Bought luxman 10x and soulution as of late. All used at least 50% off. I like going to the thrift store and fighting with gen z over the cd selection.ooh I forgot 10% stream . Enjoy the music and the fun ,stay healthy take your vitamins 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I gave up records when CD's arrived and have no interest in records any more. Absolutely the best sound quality is what I'm interested in. I have a restored McIntosh MR-71 FM tuner that is fabulous and don't mind the commercials cause it is a local station up in the mountains here. I also have SiriusXM radio in the house with the best tuner a 2004 Kenwood that doesn't sound too bad. I have 100's of CD's almost all have been replaced with remasters , and over 150 SACD's and SHM CD's. Purchased a Denon DCD-A110 SACD player couple of years ago thru my McIntosh MA 7900 int. amp and old JBL speakers good as it gets for me. I have no interest in ripping or streaming.

I am a fan of CDs and currently use two CD players/transports (Cary Audio 300-200 and Pioneer Elite PD-65) and two DACs (Audio Research DAC2 - SS with Ultra Analog D20400 chip, Audio Research DAC3 - Tube with Delta-Sigma). I am not sure if I will use a streamer anytime soon. I also use vinyl and those keep me plenty busy.
