Should we really play CDs and vinyl on amps meant for streaming music?
|
Hi friends, I recently attempted using a streaming amp, the Eversolo Play, to handle playing my CD and vinyl collection and it was...interesting. NEW eBAY STORE: More on that below, but first I wanted to mention that I've been building out my eBay store again and offering CDs and more for sale. I plan on listing more vinyl soon, but I realize a lot of folks aren't comfortable shopping on Discogs because they can't see the item they are buying, so I'm now listing things on eBay as well, which is nice because a lot of my items are priced lower and allow you to make me a (reasonable) offer... CLASSICAL VINYL RECORDS: I also recently bought a small audiophile collection of classical vinyl records and if you'd be interested in shopping those, reply to this email and I will send you more info! Some of these are RCA Living Stereo reissues that are collectible among classical vinyl enthusiasts! EVERSOLO PLAY CD EDITION: Eversolo sent me the CD edition of their popular Play streaming amp and I posted my experience on YouTube yesterday of using the amp as a CD player and even used the built in moving coil phono preamp to spin vinyl. How did things go? Check out the video for more info! If after watching you are interested in the amp but aren't in need of the CD player, Eversolo offers a cheaper version at $699 without the player. You can always connect your regular CD player via digital or RCA input if needed! That's all I have for this week, remember if you ever want to set up a video call with me to chat about music, gear or request any advice on audio set ups, you can do so by clicking this link here to schedule your 30 minute session: https://calendly.com/aaronhartley-foreveranalog Thanks, Aaron |

Hi friend, Most of the audio related questions I receive involve buying a DAC. There are so many options now that people get "analysis paralysis" and can't make a confident decision. In today's YouTube video, I try to highlight common mistakes people make when shopping for a DAC with the hopes of helping make the process easier: My most common advice is to give yourself time with each piece of gear before upgrading. If you upgrade too quickly, you'll never know the baseline sound signature of...
Hi friends, In the early 1980s, Sony was a leader, along with Philips, in the design, implementation and release of CDs and CD players. Today, Sony no longer makes CD players. In my new YouTube video, I spend time marveling at Sony's engineering on a player they released in 1986, while also trying to understand why they stopped making players today: I enjoyed making this video and hope you do too. Have a great week! Aaron
Hi friends, First, the Forever Analog YouTube channel passed 50,000 subscribers this weekend. I started this channel as a way to help friends with their audio gear purchases and hitting this kind of milestone is very surreal. I appreciate any of you who subscribe and take time out of your busy day to watch my videos. Speaking of YouTube... I thought it would be fun to compare a vintage CD player with a new model, but make sure it was the same manufacturer. So, I bought two Denon CD players,...
