I never considered how difficult it would be to play lps with one arm.  Pulling CDs off the shelf and out of the jewel box also doesn’t sound like fun

 Winners never quit , quitters never win ! there people out there with no arms but with their toes they do incredible things even electronic repairs, I feel I'm the lucky one only loosing my left leg and right arm it could have been worst  ! somehow we manage to adapt the way of life.

In my main system my sources are an Aurender N200 with Lab 12 Ref 1 DAC for digital and for analog a Sota Escape with Origin Live Silver Arm and Ortofon Bronze cart .   I also have Magnum Dynalab MD 102 and Fanfare FT1a tuners.  

No question, my favorite and most enjoyable source now overall is my streamer.  It sounds plenty good, and constantly discovering great new music — and much of it in hi res — has me more excited about this hobby than I’ve ever been.  Playing my own familiar stuff, while certainly still enjoyable, has lost a lot of its relative luster when I can be like a kid in a candy shoppe every day with streaming.  Seriously, it’s like going to the record store and buying something new and exciting every day — how can you beat that?  And while I do still spin the occasional disk, I find it’s become increasingly rare yet I’m still very happy and grateful to have both.
