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?

My serious listening is via CD. FM is enjoyable for my for casual listening and to sample new music. 

Use a Jay's Audio Transport to a PS Audio StellarGold DAC through a Concentus I2S cable. 

When I moved from NYC to Philadelphia, I made the painful decision to not drag a lifetime of carefully collected records and do away with the time-consuming pre-rituals associated with record listening on my Linn LP-12. So far, I have resisted renting the right to listen to music via streaming. I prefer to own the right to listen to the music. I do not rent my audio system, so why would I rent the music it is dependent upon?

75% Vinyl - 25% CD. Have 2 CD players that are sonically contrasting but both are "long in the tooth". Hopefully in 2026 a replacement will combine the strengths of both players that will bring my play ratio closer to 50/50.

For those of us who collect trad jazz, cds and vinyl are both essential.  Streaming has very little for us.  I am anxiously awaiting the next release of V-disc big band music due out in just a few weeks on Mosaic.  All new Mosaic releases are on cds.  Having cd players is cornerstone equipment for me. 

Yes, I have a nice collection of SACDs that I play along with my music server and reel to reel.
