When to give up CDs and TT?
I purchased a Bricasti M21 DAC some time ago. Now I'm thinking about selling my SACD player (Marantz SA7 S1), Turntable (VPI Classic 3) and media (CDs and records) because I hardly use them. It would free up a lot of space in my stereo room. Any thoughts or experience with this?
My system is a Spectral DMC-30SV preamp, DMA-500 monoblocs, MIT Oracle cables and EgglestonWorks Rosa speakers. The phono amp is a Sutherland Engineering PhonoBlock.
Streaming is by Qobuz using Audirvana on my SG20 smartphone. The internet cable runs into the M21 for most listening or I use an IFI ZEN for DSD256. My downloaded music is saved on my laptop. I use the iFi SilentPower LAN iPurifier Pro and IFI Power Elite Power Supplies to reduce noise going into the system.
Keep in mind: Owning a music library can come in handy in cases where internet is down. My internet was down most of the day Monday but I was still in business with the music I actually own. Not just streaming, internet down can affect many important services otherwise taken for granted. Good to have a backup plan. |
Agree with @parkergetdean if you’re asking that question it’s already been answered. |
