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 |

Hello friends, I'm experimenting with a new online store to sell some of the CDs, vinyl and more that isn't a good fit to sell in my antique mall booth. CHECK OUT THIS STORE HERE Most of these items are purchases from my recent visit to the flea market where I found a lot of great CDs and vinyl that I don't normally see. I just released a YouTube video about those finds yesterday: I mentioned the store in this video and have had a handful of orders but also wanted to share it with my...
Hi friends, If you watch my YouTube channel, you know how much I enjoy shopping for physical media like CDs, vinyl and cassettes. Lately, I've been buying more CDs than vinyl and needed to upgrade my accessory game for this growing collection. Here are 5 items I've found very useful since adding CDs back to my collecting habit and affiliate links to purchase if you find a need for them as well: CD Player Lens Cleaner I also collect vintage CD players and 9 times out of 10, the lens in the...
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...
