Conflicts, nah, just appreciate civilized conversations about trying to get the most out of our music and equipment. I think it's great we all have options that give us opportunities. Heck, long ago I even bought a REALLY (for the time anyway) expensive TT and cart. Was convinced that was the way to go for pure music. It was, for awhile, but that takes some serious dedication and effort, and two babies later I had neither. Now it sits under a layer of thick dust, waiting to be sold or traded off!
I like the album display I get with ROON, it gives me the feel of handling those big record covers with all the liner notes easy to see. One of the things I never cared for about CD's was the teeny print that seems to get smaller and smaller. Sometimes I envy the rock and jazz guys, you're right BJ is BJ, and Coltrane is well a singularity, but hundreds of different versions of Beethoven's Symphony no. 7...it's intimidating. But that's exactly why I like the streaming option, I can usually tell within the first few bars if it's my cuppa'. Opera is even faster, I don't care for singers that don't measure up to my image of the role. I mean, a rotund 50 year old soprano isn't the best performer to play Adina, the sexy siren in L'elisir D'amour, or the sultry Tosca, just doesn't work for me.
So good to learn about those cables. It's actually my primary system I'm moving around. Going from a Brit style compact location to a more spread out, and hopefully more satisfying situation. (Doing some experimentation before I decide to spend a good chunk of change on new bigger speakers) I looked em' up, and two different lengths is EXACTLY what I need for the space, one 10-12' and another, where the other speaker and amp are located, about 4'. Now I'd never mention that over on cables, they'd run me out with my a$$ flaming and beaten to a pulp, so it's good to get info from those, well, less "enthusiastic" if you will about equipment, etc. I mean that as a compliment by the way.
I'm up in Silly Valley, for a few more years at least. I've been to Shasta many times, so much more beautiful FILLED! Never made it to Chico, but my Grandparents had freinds with the ubiquitous almond orchard the region is famous for. Guess if you're in PS you are used to the heat. I melt, and no A/C in my house, maybe this year we'll put it in, of course I say that every year about this same time!
