Youngsters these days.


My 24 year old grandson finished his tour in the service recently and has been staying with us for the past several months. He got himself a good job, to help out and take care of himself, while deciding what to do in the future - back to school, etc.
After he got a few good pay checks, I joking suggested he buy his Pa a new CD player. If looks could kill. "Why would you want a new CD player?" He asked. I told him "just to upgrade the one I have". "No one buys CD players anymore" he exclaimed. "Then what's your Idea of fine Audio, a WalkMan?" I asked. "WOW! There's not even any such thing as a WalkMan any more" he said. To which I replied, "Ya there is, we have a guy on our forum who swears by em". He just rolled his eyes and said "No - Streaming! Using an iPhone or iPad you can get a streaming package and get all the music you want". "Why would I want to do That?" I asked "I have hundreds of great LPs and CDs, that I'm perfectly happy with." To that he replied "OK Boomer".  I guess that meant he knew I was right.
Why is it that youngsters just don't understand the love that some of us old folks have for our old LPs and CDs and we  have no interest in paying for another monthly service, to listen to all the music we already have?

I’m using a Lumin streamer and a Modwright-modified Oppo 105 (vacuum tubes) for CD, SACD, and d/a conversion. 2 boxes plus power supplies. Competes favorably with vinyl. In another system, it’s a Cambridge CD transport, an Aurender streamer and a Mytek Brooklyn dac. Not inexpensive. Both are about equal in SQ.
My post: " ***  need's to be taken behind the woodshed" was removed??? Is plain-ol' fun now being sensored?
You should have asked geoffkait if he thought it would have been fun being with you behind the woodshed.

Maybe, had you gotten the room...
Your assumption is wrong. If you use your bifocals you'd see that there are only three asterisks for the withheld' name (of whom I alway's enjoy the texts of). I won't suggest a whoopin' for you, as we see them words ain't tolerated aroun' here, boy!!!
glubson, Yea, I do that too. Sometimes we just remember the parts that stand-out. Although your mind went beyond ... 😳
