Not only are hard drives cheaper but if you have a decent computer and DAC, you have free digital storage. Storage is likely a good thing to call it for me, I put hundreds of disc's on my I-Mac a couple of years ago and connected it to my main system DAC and haven't listened to music that way more than a few times.
Whats that old saying, you can't teach an old dog new tricks, particularly if that old dog is a stubborn old audio fool like myself. Maybe my ii year old daughter is right when she saids, " come on dad get out of your rut ".
