I know that's the saying, but I have to confess; I hate beer. Don't care for wine, either. I agree with Sheldon Cooper; to me, it's "grape juice that burns"We aim to please.....
Surely you owe me that beer.....

A good call even though the Bluetooth is likely to be a receiver not a transmitter
Thank you for your awesome replyI love your point about LPs as well. In truth, I read a bunch of posts before posting myself, and I was expecting (hoping - ?) to get replies other than "why don't you just rip them?" (Especially after making it clear that I have no interest in doing that at this time.) I was hoping that some others out there who appreciate the nuances of stellar audio like I do might have some suggestions. Even if it's to simply tell me that it's just not possible in my budget to get less-than-stellar audio, lol. So I really appreciate your reply.

It's unfortunate that sometimes things are misunderstood in topics. I don't think anyone tried to make fun of you. People tend to recommend what works for them.

This one's even cheaper: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08P5HK...uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

If you buy an LP you almost always get a voucher to download digital files. The record companies obviously understand that people like to take their music with them.
I've noticed that too. What do they know.The thing that could kill it is the Bluetooth requirement.
Too often they are receivers. They seem to think everybody only wants Bluetooth to send music to some speakers.
Transmitters do appear rare as they assume the device you are using will do the transmitting.I've noticed that too. What do they know.![]()
I'm ok with the right cocktail 🍸, but those umbrellas get right up my nose....I know that's the saying, but I have to confess; I hate beer. Don't care for wine, either.

But over Bluetooth are you really going to notice? Also, I remember portable CD players being a horrible experience both sonically and practically.I will go out on a limb for Deb42 and agree that sometimes a CD rip does not sound quite as good as the disc, very close but not quite.
you must have bought some cheap ones as the Sony Discman of the day sounded quite good indeed.But over Bluetooth are you really going to notice? Also, I remember portable CD players being a horrible experience both sonically and practically.
I had a Philips one, which was not exactly cheap at the time. It did play MP3 CDs so that may have been the cause of quality issue, I remember.you must have bought some cheap ones as the Sony Discman of the day sounded quite good indeed.
Could be, Phillips were pretty good also for CD playback, I once had a Sanyo that wasn't so hot....I had a Philips one, which was not exactly cheap at the time. It did play MP3 CDs so that may have been the cause of quality issue, I remember.![]()
Do they have BluetoothGet a used Denon or Panasonic mini system if you can. You’ll scratch your itch superbly and save yourself headaches.
oh how I miss my old panasonic boombox. it was black and sleek and it had the best sound. I was so sad when it finally died.Get a used Denon or Panasonic mini system if you can. You’ll scratch your itch superbly and save yourself headaches.
I guess you to missed the preferably compatible with Bluetooth headphones bit.You may want to look at the Sony DEJ017CKI portable CD player or look for a second hand 90's high end Sony portable CD player online. If you like a boombox then look for a good second hand one from the 80's or early 90''s. You may have to pay a bit for a good one but I'm sure it's worth it. Do not buy a boombox made in the 2000's as they all sound awful.
