who needs a cd player anymore

I do,especially when the quality of the Music is way better.
I don't mind looking for a certain cd as I'm there hopefully
to be transported musically somewhere else,especially with LPS.True enough different strokes for different folks.
We have hundereds of thousands of cds and lps,where the sound
just way superior,of course I still listen to my AM radio in my van.
My cdp is a Bryston BCD-1 and she brought new life to my cds,
and for LPs I use a Clearaudio champion II with a 1200 Allnic PH stage.Definately an improvent over AM or FM.
I was thinking of trying out a BDA-1 dac and trying out a friends I-pod thru her and she what improvement she'll give out.I read a few reviews where the BDA-1 vastly improved the sound quality,that might be another option to get with the times. I'm after music quality first and not convenience,maybe I can have both,we'll see.

I listen to my 2 CDPs almost every day. One is for Redbook and one is for SACD. I've considered music servers, hooking up an iPod (all three of my kids have one). My house is fully wired for a gigabit backbone. But really don't have the desire for file based music.

At the core, I think it's because I work with computers all day every day. When I'm home relaxing and LISTENING TO THE MUSIC, I don't want to have anything to do with computers: ripping, downloading, cataloging, backing-up, etc.

Nope, I'm just not interested. Happy it's working out so well for you. No doubt it's the future of audio. Enjoy.

I would miss the pictures and liner notes.

Cd players simply sound better. Great CD players sound way better. I have compared and thus far my player easily trumps the sound of computer based front ends. I like looking through my CD's and picking one also.

I am glad you enjoy your approach and many of us love our approach.

I DO!
I have over 700 cd`s, and
i`m still wanting at LEAST 150 MORE!
I have a list that I carry with me every time
I go to a CD store, which NOW in
Chicago/Northwest IN. we recently lost
the INFAMOUS Dicount Records.
A chain that I have shopped at since 1985! Gone in
summer 2008.
SO NOW, I have Best Buy(which does NOT carry
⅔ of the cd`s that i`m looking for.
And my local CD/record/tape store.
It`s hard to find
Sleeze Beezs or Roxy Blue at BB.
And I don`t feel like paying the
$50+ prices on flee bay.
Know what I mean?
So, IF my CD players WERE working, I would be
listening to them right now.
BUT, since I have played them so much,
they all skip like crazy now.
Someone on here said the Sony CD changers
need to have the Laser RAILS re-lubed, However
nobody here has showed me how to do it,
or what kind of lub the changers need.
Some people say that the WD-40 is NOT
good for this, but some say to use
White-Lithium grease.
So I DON`T KNOW!
