MissingCDs and records

Since I have had a long-standing hip problem (now being fixed,) I have physically been unable to play CDs and more significantly, records.  
I bought an outstanding streamer (Aurelac 200) to cope with my disability, and am very happy with the sound it’s producing .  However, I’m now finding that, despite the superlative sound of the Aurelac, I’m missing the experience of relishing individual discs and records which have their own character and speak to me. They’re like old friends you can’t replace with a stream.  Of course there are many advantages to streaming, including a universal discography to select from, but having that intimate contact with an artifact is a special feeling.

…for many of us older folks, when we were kids, it was the records and the photos that came with them was the only way to see the band… There were no videos, and unless you caught them on tour, the physical media provided a ton of information and entertainment…

 

sorry for the bad grammar and punctuation…this was dictated…😎

The Aurelac 200 is a streamer.

Not sure how such an innocuous thread as this has to have 4 posts removed. What are the Audiogon forums turning into? Are people that full of bitterness?

 

Back to the OP. I have all my seedees boxed up and in the closet. But I still enjoy spinning records. The sound is fantastic, but the visceral feeling of touching the record and the player adds to the enjoyment.

@rvpiano There is no 'Aurelac' brand in the current market. The closest brand names I could find are AURALiC and Aurender. AURALiC does not have a model '200.' Under Aurender, the closest model is the Aurender N200, not '200.' Are you referring to the N200?
