Survey-What is your most used source?

Isolated down to 100% vinyl. I know record player steps are a rictual or mantra and an important part of the home listening musical experience for me. Something about that TT- Arm and cartridge that fansinates me. Love it when friends bring over a favorite CD, then I plug in the CD plyer into the system. I usually really enjoy the music they have brought, this happens a lot, but I never seem to do CD thing on my own. If I buy that CD it goes into the car or bedroom system for good music - background stuff. Don't mean this to sound snobish at all (please no vinyl/CD flames) but just stating what my source is.

Vinyl 90% CD 10% I wish I had a tuner to be able to check out new music.

david, if it's gnu-music ya wanna hear, i tink yule be quite disappointed w/the sound of radio - most pop-stations are *wery* compressed; something like a dbx 3bx is *mandatory* w/these stations.

and, it's not yust the stations, it's the way the pop-stuff is recorded. i was tickled to be able to find santana's latest *supernatural* on winyl, cuz i'd heard how awful it was mixed on cd - well, the winyl ain't nuttin' to write home about either! it *does* sound quite excellent when run thru the dbx, tho...

Right now, 100% vinyl, at least until I can find a CD player I can live with for minimal scratch....

hey, musikdok, w/that melos preamp ya got now, i tink yule be quite surprised-n-pleased how decent a cheep cd-player will sound now - my $500 (retail) nad cd-changer gives up nuttin' to cd-players up to $3k retail (at least), when run thru my melos music-director pre. not that $3k cd-players are anything to write home about, when compared to winyl... ;~)
