When MP3 players started coming out I ripped and ditched most of my CDs, kept the ones near and dear to me so I don't have many. Streaming is convenient to me, nothing more at this point, so I'm not ready to invest in a "Better" experience at home. There's still something about owning an album, the 12x12 piece of artwork that is, or at least can be, the jacket, liner notes, printed extras about the album and so on.

My hesitation with CD's is I'll start grabbing everything not available on vinyl and to be honest, I have way too many vinyl albums I still want to start down the CD hole again, lol

Tbh investing in a better experience at home is actually, to begin with, not that expensive a proposition. My little pi player that does Spotify connect and airplay was well under €100. That said when, like I’ve just done, you start getting into roon and hi res streaming and servers it begins to get a bit more expensive...

Just popping in on the cd convo to say in the year of 2019, I paid $18 for an Aaliyah cd.

Last 8 CDs I bought were $1 each. I have no problem with that, as they're for car listening, where vinyl isn't an option.

Yet...I’m sure Crosley has already been testing it

Huge score today, still in shock at the amazing condition it’s in.

Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um (original 1959 US 6-Eyes Mono Pressing)

There’s a handful of jazz albums that I would consider to be perfect, and this is one of them. Mingus led a very very crazy life and really struggled with his mental health, but to produce music as fantastic as this is next level. This copy is super clean, it looks like it was just pressed yesterday, no surface marks, no smudges, nothing. Its certainly now on of the jewels in my collection, I’m super happy.

I almost bought one of those 3" Crosley turntables from RSD on Saturday.... saw a couple at a shop I was in. Couldn't drop the $70, though.
The $10 Beastie Boys Sabotage 3" single almost made me do it... But I held strong.

If this RE of KMFDM Angst is anything like their RE of Nihil then I’m in for a treat.

It's been a crazy busy month or two for me, I've been somewhat disengaged around here but I have scored some fantastic grabs. This is a few weeks worth and includes a newly released favourite, a couple of original/early pressings of old favourites and some quality reissues.

The Kenny Clarke and Bud Powell are Music Matters eBay scores, the Mobley and Coltrane Analogue Productions eBay scores. The near mint Blue Train AP for AU$58 (about US$40) was a bit of a pleasant shock and one of my better bargain pickups.
