Name one product that should be included in your HiFi setup?

[Paul AJ]

I'm still using physical media--LP for jazz and CD for everything else.
(I like the nostalgic vibe of jazz on analog vinyl, especially with a snifter of brandy.)
I also still use a terrestrial radio tuner as well.

Obviously, then, what I most need is a modern music streamer, but I'm an old dog who has trouble with new tricks.
Streaming seems too complicated for a luddite like me. I only use the 1990 flip phone functions on my cell phone.
Pretty bad, I admit.

Same here 🙂 I find it hard going to make my way onto something like streaming because at 77ys in July the old brain don't work with technology like all these younger people out there so the streaming I have is when I'm driving in my Ford Fiesta at 50 MPH 🙂👍.When I read about Streamers I must admit that I don't really understand much about them because at one time I decided to cut down my system by getting rid of the Receiver & Cassette deck to give us more room in the area so I've never thought about increasing it anymore so I just stick with my records & CDs which I understand 🎼 🙂🎼

Don't worry Paul, a few of us here aren't much younger than you.
Can't blame you sticking with vinyl and CD....no software updates required.

Not much technically superior about streamers when compared to your CDP either.
I'm allergic to monthly subscriptions myself, so a streamer's ability to handle Spotify, Tidal, old uncle Tom Cobbly and all is of no interest to me (I use streamers mainly to play my own CD collection, stored on hard drives).
Many of them are unnecessarily expensive for what they are too.
But Wiim is a brand worth investigating for anyone with an interest in starting out with a streamer - and they take up less space than full sized hi-fi - if space is an issue.
