Hi all,
Firslty I dont have a huge CD collection, I got my first Hifi system late last year. when I got my used amplifier they have a matching CD player, so I bought them both.
The reason I wanted a system was to escape reality and just relax. My original plan was to go full streaming, I've been running Roon on a monthly subscription for now, with a Qobuz account. I can see the power of Roon but I don't find using it really relaxing. The spotify and Qobuz account, through roon is admittedly fantastic at finding new artists, but then I find myself buying the CD album from Amazon.
I find it much more relaxing just playing CDs, all the Apps and rubbish with streaming just seems to make it more complicated and destracting. I find myself not really listening, I just keep browsing or end up on social media. I never switch off if I keep using PCs, tablets, phone all the time!
Anyone else feel similar?
Am I mad to start buying CDs and building a collection in 2021?
I've not gone down the turntable route as vinyl is expensive and as I was a teenager in the 90s CDs were the thing.
