What a sad world we now live in.......

No coltrane1....you are not alone. Most music made today imo sucks! I'll take the old standards any day. Most new pressings suck too, you cant beat the older vinyl, those engineers knew what they were doing back then and they seemed to care. Unless you buy from say acoustic sounds or what have you, then for the most part you can score a decent sounding reissue etc....

I have three TTs, a tuner, and a CDP.  The CDP gets more use than the others combined.  Long live CDs!

I'm playing at least one Doris Day album (LP) per night for five nights as a tribute to "The Girl Next Door." She sounds terrific, especially on the "Day by Day" album. It's the kind of mono recording that has you wondering ... who needs stereo? 

Did someone mention something about streaming?  :-)

Hey, I feel the same as uberwaltz. I love my physical media. Not knocking streaming, it saves a lot of space, but I like my cds, sacds and lps.

"Teo-audio" apparently lacks the mental authority to understand how modern technology can enrich one's enjoyment of music. Rather than trying to come up with a unified theory of the end of the world, I might advise a subscription to Tidal and listening to some music he/she has never heard before.

I understand that not all of us have the IQ to fully understand the marvels of technology, but even intellectually challenged individuals such as "Teo-audio" are capable of making an emotional connection to music well conceived, recorded, and played back.
