Addendum to

My answer to that, unfortunately, is nothing! My CD/DVD player is broken down, once again, by the use by McIntosh of a crappy Denon transport mechanism (from a 2930).

The parent company, DNM Holdings, dictated its use. So my MVP 871 is out of service, until I can find a new transport. Second time in three years.

My turntable hasn't broken down, even though it's nearly 50 years old. How many CD players will still be going strong 50 years from now? None, I would venture to say.

I just thought I'd vent a little, but the truth is, with the right record, vinyl does sound better. And, it still works. There. I've said it.

Happy New Year,
Dan

Good for you Dan! Perhaps you can find one or two more and store them!
I agree 1,000,000% with you and your feeling about computers as they relate to music. I have enough of them at work etc.....Give me those discs and let me relax.

I already got problem with my cd transport, I listen mainly vinyl lp and haven't been convinced by the demo of computer audio.I have the spare parts and my lenco will work perfectly in 50 years (me not)
The only demo of computer audio I enjoyed was made by peter McGrath, with opera that he registered himself with his proprietary system.

My feelings towards computers are the same as yours and Bill. I have to use them in my work all day and every day, so I'm comfortable with them, but I don't like them. I want them no where in my audio system. I've heard numerous computer front ends and I simply did not find them superior sounding. Bill went deep into computers for quite a long while and then finally got rid of them.he's a happier man now. To each their own with these choices as long as you enjoy your music.
Take care,
