Have 5000 and enjoy their sound thru my 3 CD players and attached systems. I listen to streaming in my office where there is no space fir a cdp. It's OK to ne but not great. It's best for music discovery and background music. I have a Marantz nd8006 streamed in another system but it's unwieldy and I don't think it sounds great. I am still looking a a replacement for it and will try something soon. So CD s seem to deliver for me. I also still buy cds new and used when I find something where I like the music and it is well recorded. Lots of my favorite music is nit found online too as it's very regional in derivation or in niche categories.
Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs?
I'm curious why you still play CDs in the age of streaming. I recently got back into CD listening and I'm curious if your reasons align with mine, which are:
- Enjoying the physical medium—the tactile nature of the case, the disc, the booklet, etc.
- Forcing myself to actually listen to an album, versus being easily distracted by an algorithm, or "what's next" in my playlist.
- Actually owning the music I purchase, versus being stuck with yet another monthly subscription.
Others?
