How has upgrading you system changed your CD buying habits?

Not at all really, though my system has probably reduced half of my indie rock
collection to near unlistenable (from an audiophile point of view, of course).

But they sound tolerable to good once I convert them to 128-258kbps mp3s played
back through a PC and headphones ...

Do you spend more money on demo disks?

Don't have one in my collection

Do you buy stuff you don't really like just becaused it is a 'DDD' CD, HDCD, SACD?

Well, I did buy the 30th anniversary Dark Side of the Moon CD/SACD hybrid disc
because it was cheap.

Ever bought a disk just because you read some one had used it as a listening test cd in a
reveiw?

No. Though I am tempted to get the Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions" CD.

Can you honestly say you just buy the music you want to listen
to, or has getting the best out of your system become an obsession?

I buy the music I listen to. If the recording is top notch, I treat it as a bonus.

Note that some of the most important pop/rock music (Beatles, Stones and
Springsteen) has really poor sound!
