What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

@milpai - just curious...when you say, "I do not own a single LP....".  Do you mean by the Dan or across the board?  You won't get any criticism from me...just curious.   Around here, "No LPs" would certainly be a minority position...though we often like the minority viewpoint.  Most of the vinyl I have is stuff I've been carting around for 40 years or so.  Buy vinyl only rarely nowadays...sometimes old stuff as the spirit moves; hardly anything at all of the new, so-called audiophile vinyl reissues.  I take a pretty cynical view of most of that activity (along with the so-called vinyl resurgence) - just another way to shake $ out of people's pockets and rejuvenate back catalog sales (in my O-pinion, of course).

ghosthouse,
I do not own any LP. Though I have, in the past, listened to LPs, I never actually wanted to own them because of the cost and the maintenance of the gear associated with them. I would rather spend time to listen to music, especially with 2 growing kids. I am happy with my CDs and very recently streaming music via bluetooth. So yes, I am in minority position w.r.t. most of the audiophiles here. I agree with your point on the "resurgence". And I almost forgot to mention this - the only "reissue" I purchased after owning the CDs were Steely Dan's Gaucho (regular SACD) and Aja (Japanese SHM-SACD), because I liked that music so much. Totally worth the $s I spent.

milpai - we share some similar points of view. Low cost and easy maintenance are factors that contribute to my enjoyment of records via the KAB mod’d. Technics table I have. It’s not a fussy set up. Plus I do get a certain satisfaction holding an LP that was produced almost 50 years ago...like some kind of historical artifact that is still functionally viable. Regarding cynicism about the vinyl resurgence, I see it as a trendy, "hip" fad that (I hope) will soon run it’s course. Shaking more $ out of people’s pockets is what I associate with the flurry of audiophile reissues. FWIW - I too have the SACD version of Gaucho. Just got done listening to Moody Blues "Question of Balance" in SACD. Not the greatest recording ever but I enjoy the music. Going to put on Gaucho next, thanks to you bringing it up.

A couple of classic electronica bands at their peak recorded live.  Both of these were recorded in 1998.

Massive Attack - Live at the Royal Albert Hall
Portishead - Roseland NYC Live

milpai, ghosthouse,
Thanks for stiring the Steely Dan juices for me.
Listened to "Countdown to ecstacy".

Also, Leslie West, "Soundcheck" found it's way back into the player.
