Records have been with me all my life as has my Linn deck (mostly). I have cd quality streaming and hd streaming available also. When I slip a c.d into my audiolab transport the sound is full and I control the loudness (mostly). We all to a man and woman embraced the c.d over records. A myriad of reasons helped c.d take off.
People with c.d recordings presented on wax harp on about that analogue sound and how it's how music should sound. The romanticism of crackles and the eBay sellers interpretation of mint grading records do not slow the good old days are back for good vibe.
Record cleaners are so much fun! You can read the covers but not on your phone , people were claiming back space with streaming and then buying kallex units for the old/new nirvana.the replacement of lasers after a few hundred hours and the sheer frailty of the c.d may have contributed to the c.d decline (no £15.00 brush to rub against the shiny disc. Hell, you cannot even watch it go round and round. The fun of that little pop 2.50 minutes in and getting up to turn it over , so real!
Why is the c.d dead? It isn't because of the convenience or the sound , streaming proves that ( I want c.d quality!!!)
Me , I love it. What about you , do you like the market forces and the advertised insistence that c.d quality is better because you have to buy a new box to hear it streamed!! What is the reason.
