My listening habits have recently swung back to CD’s, currently cherry-picking favourites from discogs and eBay where possible but there is a lot of tosh out there…
If anyone has any for sale, or looking to move on let me know. Pretty broad taste although I struggle with ‘proper jazz’, prog rock and thrash metal (sure that will eliminate over half the forum )
Soul, funk, pop, rock, folk etc. all sought but I have a distinct loathing for greatest hits compilations.
I have two things on my to do list for next week. One is to get a haircut, the other is to go through my local chariddee shops and relieve them of some of the stocks of CDs that have built up there over the lockdown. I used to sort LPs and CDs for the Roy Castle shop near us before I got ill. The bloke I did it with reckons they are swimming in decent stock.
I too will be hitting the charity shops for CDs. Not as good as vinyl but much more tolerant of the DJ being inebriated, which means the AS Transport/DAC get used often.
Later in the evenings festivities when I cannot even manage that safely we switch over to " phone music " via the Topping D50s. By then you cannot discern any difference in sound quality
Think I’ll do the same, I’ve had a few gems from my local shops in Warwick in the past.
Playing cd’s has kind of been a happy accident, mid-way through setting up an office system it was the only source I had for a short while. I soon discovered that it was less distracting than having Tidal/Roon to fiddle with instead of work.
I’ve taken to buying 'em up, ripping them and then donating them to another shop. A bit illegal but what can you do and it supports the local Chazzers.
