Again, I’m just a bit out of my depth with this newer tech. I still like vinyl and cds. But I’m trying.

Yes.

Yes.

Close, but CD is still better. Likely other factors in your setup will be the bottleneck.

No. And Yes. Spotify has options to tailor the sound or leave alone or eq. Your streaming device or bluetooth receiver will factor into playback -but for all but squint listening it is great.

If you arent using spotify you are missing out big time. The most valuable feature is the algorithm that suggests artists and songs based on your liked songs and listening choices. Creepy how good it is sometimes at guessing what you want.
