Sometimes I hear noise from the chassis when the disc is spinning, other than that, the Sony does the job. For as long as I’ve had it, only one issue has emerged-the stability of the player when in use. When I listen to CDs and Blu-rays, it’s on my old-faithful Sony BPD-S360 DVD player. I asked her to give me some time to see if I could find a CD transport so I could once again bond with my beautiful shiny discs. What she meant to say is: ‘your vinyl is pilling up, so why do you still keep CDs if you mostly listen to vinyl’. Recently my wife asked me ‘What do you want to do with all your CDs that you never listen to anymore? They’re taking up space’. Compact Discs are still produced for the newest classical repertoire forgotten masterpieces from classical directors and orchestras remain a big attraction. My preference for compact discs is the classical music genre and companies do a great job with the aesthetics of these boxes and include liner notes and pictures, even remastered gems of the 78 rpm era. I still am a CD collector and I thoroughly enjoy my time with these recordings that come in beautiful collector-boxes. Red Book CDs on the other hand are in the middle of the road for me, still a physical presence, but not too much fuss equipment-wise. Vinyl has romanticized once again a ritual I had forgotten with streaming. With its tactile engagement and the variety of equipment you can use, it’s really a toy chest for adults. In the last couple of years, I’ve been first and foremost a vinyl enthusiast.
