One at a time, over a long period of time and as acquired. Patience is mandatory as is commitment (in both meanings of the term). I have in excess of 10,000 items. I considered a Microsoft Access Database, but Discogs provides detail beyond anything I could hope for in a stand alone database. It has become more retail market based, as in “sell your records”.

I have been working on putting my collection in Discogs too. I completed my LPs this past summer, but only have been putting in new stuff since. The CDs is the next big project. I did put my gold CDs in some time ago, but I probably have less than 15% of all my CDs in so far. It will take a long time.

Getting out of my chair just seems unnecessary to me. My two cd transports sit quietly. My turntable is out of commission (you don’t want to know) so it’s Roon and my now 7TB collection. Oh, and streaming.
I want my turntable back. And I should get off my perch and play a CD.

Has anybody listened to the motor on the PST or similarly the Marantz that shares the same parts? Sometimes I wonder if it should be as loud as it is, but it’s not so loud that I can hear it from the listening position…especially not with music playing. Louder than a turntable spinning, for sure.

Two feet from my PST, I no longer notice the motor sound. The “noise” blends with the P12 fan noise, which just placed below the PST. My listening position is 9 feet directly from the equipment rack which is in the center of the front wall.

Can’t. No unbalanced phono input.

It is nice to have options. I’ll spin a vinyl for your TechDas woes.
Hopefully it is back in action soon.

What amuses me is the number of vinyl LPs that show up at my door every other day.

Um, I’m averaging 12/week. With the holidays upon us it has ramped up. I have a backlog of some 100 LPs to give a first spin, argh!

9 feet is nice! I’m easily less than 9’. Thanks for adding some down to earth thinking (no sarcasm).
Oh Happy Day, the cd player in my car is skipping and stalling, finally with the same cd’s that were giving me headaches in my PST—and triggered this thread. So it was my PST telling me that some cd’s were not healthy, not the other way around. Which means my PST doesn’t need to go anywhere. yay!

Interesting.
I do not recall if I already suggested this, but have you tried burning a copy of the problematic CD and testing the operation of the burned DC?

Good news indeed!
I did that with several CDs that were scratched beyond belief — plopped 'em in my MacBook and made copies. Now I have perfectly -playing Cds.
Not sure how/why it works, but it does.
I thought you’d close this out with you were planning on sending the car back to the mother ship for an adjustment.

Some used record/CD shops in the area used to offer a CD restoration service which if you can hunt one down may be worth a shot. Basically the polish the CD surface.
