I agree with your point and think you nailed it. This is a long pair, so ignore it if it takes too long to read. I used to buy vinyl in the mid to late 1990s when all my richer friends bought CD's. In fact it was kind of embarrassing to play music on what was then considered an obsolete format...

Ripping and playing a challenge? I think in the MP3 age everyone and their dog was ripping CD's without any problems. People have ripped their entire CD libraries into Flac and there is plenty of free software on the web that allows you to do that. First time I heard someone say it was hard...

Thank you for producing this list. CD's still provide very good value and offer very high quality sound. It is good to know there are some good players still being made. At some point sadly all CD players have to replaced. I think even people who own good CD players are now finding that the...

Firstly, I did not say that an aging audio device can sound better, and was talking specifically about the LG phone. Most modern smartphones are software based, and even if the audio playback is acceptable, in all other aspects the device will get outdated and present security risks for those...

The older Walkmans from the 1990s are sold on sites like eBay and Reverb. The refurbished ones can be expensive depending on the model but sometimes you can find a bargain. It is best to check seller feedback, and if there are videos of the unit in operation, check those out. I have previously...

What is EDID? Never heard of it? What does it do?

People who have bought this player have reported some problems with it. Some have said the tape speed changes, so I hope these things are addressed, and improvements are made. Other than that, it looks good.

Looks like you ate stalking me Monkey man. The person who replied to me was also insulting me. Perhaps you should send a message to that person too. Just saying. Your comment sounds like a threat.

Lol. The person who initially replied to me himself said unpleasant things. I did not realise this was an old thread, but other people read old posts sometimes so they might find the advice helpful. If they don’t they don’t . It is up to people to make up their mind if they find advice useful or...

Most people wouldn’t call it a Digital analogue player. They use the term to call it digital audio player. That is what they used to in ancient days. Even the iPod got video playback at one point. Thank you so much!

You just proved my point. (abuse deleted by moderation.) It still costs close to £900, and that might be a lot for many people. (abuse deleted by moderation.) Do you deny there are people who won’t be able to justify spending his much? If so, why are you pretending that this is something...

Ad-supported streaming services are a step in the right direction. Paid subscriptions are making content exclusive which means many people who don’t subscribe don’t see that stuff, at least not until is broadcast on tv, which can be years, it at all. By limiting content to subscribers...

JVC is so good at making stuff very few people can afford…..

There is no need to celebrate vinyl week. Listening to LP’s on vinyl or appreciating the format does not require one to celebrate it. I am not going to celebrate. I am opting out. I am going to avoid vinyl week 2024. I am going to do the opposite to celebrate vinyl.

Jerry Seinfeld said cinema is dead recently, so maybe it is more appropriate to mourn its death then celebrate it. Let me put the first bouquet of flowers on its grave.
