I don't understand anyones need to play CDs.
For me they are now equal to playing a track off of a C60 cassette.
Ok for throwing in the CD player in the car, but completely lacking in atmosphere.
They can't replace that feeling you get as you pull a record from it's sleeve, gently wipe any dust off, carefully place it on the turntable and lower the needle onto the groove.. the first couple of seconds of gentle crackle, or the sound of the stylus riding the groove, then Wham... the music hits you.
