fresh stack of CDs just arrived from japan yes, the CD format is still thriving. a huge catalog of music is available and new releases continue to be issued alongside digital and vinyl. most vinyl pressed after the mid 1980s is music that was recorded digitally. so besides the trademark distortions of the format like surface noise and wow/flutter, there aren’t many “analog” characteristics to modern vinyl pressings. the CD format enjoys significant popularity in audiophile/hi-fi communities because it’s often much cheaper (and easier) to attain a high level of performance via CD playback vs. digital sources like streaming.

Yess, i did not expect to see CDs on here but I'm happy I did. Also a big fan, even get them in the library at times. Love that they provide so much more context to a work of music than just a song on a streaming platform often presented out of context.

completely agree! I love the liner notes, credits, release info, all of that. I usually learn something new about an album whenever I listen.
