Music

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.

maybe I’ll start writing about this sort of thing if there’s any interest. I’m a fairly serious hi-fi/audiophile enthusiast in my spare time, but never know what to do with this weird niche info. it’s kinda fun.
