Years ago I bought a small system, I think the maker began with H or M. It was a limited edition, I think of 500 machines, it played mini discs and cds. Does anyone know what maker it might be?
Tracking down old hi-fi make.

Are you in the UK?
Hitachi, Marantz?
Not enough information to go on really. You could try a simple Google image search as you know what it looked like.....
Yes UK. Tried image search also Chatgpt - it's in storage at the moment so I'll probably get desperate to know and attempt to unearth it. I think it's a British make - sure it begins with H.
Anyway thanks for your interest.
Happy Christmas!

Harman Karman, but they're not British as far as I know.
Try and find a image of a amp that looks similar.

As a matter of interest, since you have it in storage, why are you asking us?

No idea what Chatgpt is are you just trying to promote this?

It’s the mini-disc part that throws me off. There is no way that would be in a limited edition, and highly unlikely British either. It’s a very Japanese design, dominated by inventor Sony.
Old music centres were made by a British firm called Hacker but that was 50 years ago. Cannot think of any British brands with M that might be relevant.
I think you need to unearth it and let us know!

It is conversational AI. It uses lots of different sources... you ask it a question and it gives you an answer in conversation form. It's the next big thing (or the current big thing) and is why you have maybe been hearing a lot more about AI in the last year or so.

Thanks for the explanation, I wondered why it was of little help.

Do not rely on ChatGPT to provide accurate answers. Improving accuracy requires that you put great care into formulating your questions. It is known to sometimes produce answers that are entirely fictitious.Thanks for the explanation, I wondered why it was of little help.
Do some research first, before using it for anything other than amusement.

It's obviously been around for years before anyone ever called it that...
I can assure everyone I am not a bot...., Whatever they are.

Good question - the storage facility is some distance away and my hi-fi stuff is at the bottom of an immense piles of heavy boxes.
Finally took the plunge and dived into the storage - it's a Kenwood!!!! Can anyone tell me anything about it - is Kenwood such a small hi-fi maker that no-one thought of it? Any thoughts welcome.

they were quite a big manufacturer of some repute.
Now you know what it is can you not do a Google search as I very much doubt anty forum member will have owned one.

It didn’t begin with H or M, and for a long time Kenwood was sold in the UK as Trio, because the Kenwood Chef brand was registered here already.

You say that, but I lost three fingers to a schoolboy error when I used the wrong Kenwood mixer between my 1210s

I remember the Kenwood mask car stereo. Unstealable. That is until someone broke into my brother's car & ripped the dashboard out to get it
