| Is anyone still using a CD Player I continue to play CD's but mostly I use a NAS with my ripped collection. I have all my CD's and continue to buy more, both new and used. With my previous Luxman system I had a matching CD player, but it eventually quit working. I used my compu... | |
| Question for the older folks- did you ditch vinyl when cd arrived? I jumped on the CD bandwagon when they first came out. I remember buying my first CD player, a Sharp unit at a Best Buy (which was also a new store back then). I then started buying CD;s and rarely purchased any more vinyl. I kept playing the v... | |
| The streaming revolution. @ fire_water I guess I'm old fashioned and enjoy having the physical disc, and a way to rebuilt my library should my NAS fail. | |
| Volume considerations Sometimes I listen at a high volume level, but try to keep it at 85 db or less. I have some hearing loss and don't want to make it worse. My spouse is not a music enthusiast as I am and therefore doesn't like "loud" music. My system is in my ba... | |
| The streaming revolution. While I do utilize streaming, it is more for discovery and convenience than sound quality. I have enjoyed the ability to listen to new music in the genre that I prefer at the time, this gives me new options to explore. When I do find an artist o... | |
| Best concert you've attended Have been reading through this thread, lots of great concerts for sure! Makes me think of concerts I wish I would have attended, like I had the opportunity to attend a Pink Floyd concert in Phoenix when they were touring the Animals album, also a... | |
| On a different note, share the artists you own that DON'T sound good I'm a big Jethro Tull fan, and some of their albums are terrible as far as sound quality goes. Then on the reverse side, Ian Anderson's "Divinities" is one of the best recordings available. Some old "Stones" albums were also not good. If I thin... | |
| Favorite Supertramp album? Probably "Even in the Quietest Moments", but I more so listen to the collection on the "Retrospectacle" album. That title is also one of my favorite Supertram tunes, along with "Downstream". | |
| Favorite Beatles Song Hard to nail down just one. But when "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite" comes up on the Sgt. Peppers album, I crank it up. Love the way the different instruments weave in and out, and of course the classic Beatles vocals. Give it a spin! | |
| New Stones Album - Foreign Tongues @kijanki I didn't have the issues with my CD of Hackney Diamonds, ripped fine and the sound quality seems good. Perhaps my old ears need at tune up? Not one of my favorite albums but as others said, growing on me. | |
| To those with Digital Libraries - Some Questions... I have a vast collection of CD's and am still buying them, some new, some used, some old artists, some new. I gave up on vinyl and my son now has my collection of about 400 albums or so. I do use streaming but more so listen to my CD collection ... | |
| What blues are you listening to today? Hard to deny B.B. King as a great blues artist, listen to him often when in a blues mood. Also enjoy 'light' blues by Bonnie Raitt. Got to see her last year at a small venue, what a great show, and she had some great backup blues artists in her ... | |
| Favorite Led Zeppelin Album Led Zeppelin II, followed by Physical Graffiti. However, I can spin about any album and be happy. Ramble On! | |
| Three things I’ve learned about listening. My favorite is "If it sounds really good, leave it alone"! | |
| So…Much…Music! Streaming is a wonderful option, opening up a plethora of music and artists. I have used Spotify and Tidal, and was impressed with the suggested new music to listen to based on my favorites. This is a great way to discover new music and artists ... |
