You’re lucky that it only took a few days. I think it’s gonna be a lot longer for me.
I can’t wait.
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.

@rvpiano hopefully you get your hip fixed and recover quickly! as to nostalgia with records and CDs…I think playing records and CDs for a few days should cure it. With the introduction of N200 in my system I do not miss my analog set up. Yeah handling records and CDs is cool. Next time you stream your favorite classical album with N200 just grab a record and enjoy the physical album in your hands while listening to noise free music without having the need to get up to flip a record then rush back into your chair. Best of both worlds! |
