Survey-What is your most used source?


Just curious, what is your most used source: CD, tuner, cassette, LP, dish...?

I purchased a tuner about six months ago, I hadn't used one in my system in well over 10 years. It is easily now my most used source.

Model: Fanfare FT-1A

Vinyl over 90%, the rest CD. Classical hardly ever on CD, except, when something really striking comes out, like Abado's rendering of the Beethoven symphonies with the Berlin Philharmonic.
Isolated down to 100% vinyl. I know record player steps are a rictual or mantra and an important part of the home listening musical experience for me. Something about that TT- Arm and cartridge that fansinates me. Love it when friends bring over a favorite CD, then I plug in the CD plyer into the system. I usually really enjoy the music they have brought, this happens a lot, but I never seem to do CD thing on my own. If I buy that CD it goes into the car or bedroom system for good music - background stuff. Don't mean this to sound snobish at all (please no vinyl/CD flames) but just stating what my source is.
david, if it's gnu-music ya wanna hear, i tink yule be quite disappointed w/the sound of radio - most pop-stations are *wery* compressed; something like a dbx 3bx is *mandatory* w/these stations.

and, it's not yust the stations, it's the way the pop-stuff is recorded. i was tickled to be able to find santana's latest *supernatural* on winyl, cuz i'd heard how awful it was mixed on cd - well, the winyl ain't nuttin' to write home about either! it *does* sound quite excellent when run thru the dbx, tho...

Right now, 100% vinyl, at least until I can find a CD player I can live with for minimal scratch....
