That CD payer mimics a cassette player in mechanical concept, and thus is prone to similar failures. If it was so good, why at the time did nearly...

I assume you mean the house... The owner (my brother's partner) sold it for about £3m* iirc, the man who bought it had decided to retire in his 40s,...

:eek: Don't like porridge? What kind of Scot are you? Next you'll be telling us you don't have any Kenneth McKellar records, but no one will believe...

Lol, don't like porridge; reminds me of sick!:spew: No, I'm a 'continental breakfast' kind of guy, and the occasional fry up. Marco.

Nah. It doesn't need the obvious constant of gravity to read it accurately like a record player does. And even then, if you can work out how to...

As daft an idea as a vertical record deck!

Any idea of the sale price?

Awesome - never saw it at the time or knew it even existed. Massive Yamaha receiver. Absolutely stupidly complex but I just love the way this...

I suppose you'd be ok with porridge the Scottish way, oats, water, pinch of salt? They did that to me each morning when I stayed in Aberdeen as a...

Now that is just fucking cool. Especially like the keypad - as much as the upright aspect.

Living room - and a bedroom - that are 25' x 35'! Madre mia!

Lol no, I don't do cereals, as I'm not big on raw milk. Marco.

I suspect her late husband just wanted to throw money at having TOTL stuff from a name he'd heard of installed by the shop. There were speakers...

Believe it or not, yes on Ian Rankin, no on Andy Bell. This Andy Bell is as in Ride and Oasis.

You know me so well :D I sometimes like prawns, it depends on the setting: King prawns in my Sunday Chinese special curry, yes. Scampi, yes....

So what's this about then? Andy Bell as in Erasure? Ian Rankin as in Inspector John Rebus?

Not my thing at all... I like equipment that looks as if it should be in a science lab, and big wide speakers made of wood:) Marco.

OK for those that only have 5 CDs. :lol: The speakers look elegant though. There was a time when B&O gear was wrongly dismissed as 'Habitat...

Tonight's tea... Salmon poached in tinfoil with vegetables agrodolce, sprinkled with fresh coriander: Marco.

Iz yoo takin' da piss, boy?:lol: Marco. P.S Do you like prawns?

Cheers, mate. I do like a good toastie, though:) Marco.

That does look pretty cool. My brother's ex-partner had one of these set ups. I never got to hear it though.

NEC CD-803 (1982): https://www.thevintageknob.org/nec-CD-803.html Upright CD players are long overdue a comeback. Someone needs to tell the...

I remember those Sonab speakers. I never heard any, and had no desire to. They would have to sound pretty special to justify those looks. They just...

And at least on a par with the beans on toast I had. Not just any beans on toast mind, but microwave-heated Branston beans on Ninja toaster-toasted...

Very nice, far better than the ham and tomato toastie I had for lunch.

In my limited experience, omni-directional speakers are highly dependent on their surrounding environment. My only experience was with a Sonab...
