MissingCDs and records

Can't imagine what those four deletions would even say. How can this thread invite any kind of negativity?

Didn't read the deleted posts, but unfortunately there are a vocal few who are very against anyone playing LP or CD...

Agree completely. For me it's roughly a 50/50 mix of streaming and CDs. Whenever I stream something I really like I buy the CD. I also polish the disk once with Rain-X and always give CDs a spin on my old Bedini CD Clarifier before playing. Not sure how much difference the Clarifier makes (the Rain-X does), but I enjoy the ritual.

I'm in the process of moving to our new house and this would have been an excellent time to get rid of my 4000+ CDs and 1000+ records. I've even ripped all my CDs to FLAC. But I couldn't do it. There is something about spinning the physical media on a beautifully made piece of mechanical equipment that gives me pleasure. I enjoy looking at the album art and credits and I like the process of looking through my collection and finding a gem that I haven't heard in a long time.

I have a Qobuz subscription that I use mostly to find new music but I buy the physical version of the stuff I like. Besides, it gets more money to the artists.

Congratulations on returning to the world of physical media.

Hey Rvpiano sorry your hip is making things such a struggle I hope once it's fixed you can get back to fondling your records and CDs.
