I'd bloody forgotten about that! :doh: Thanks! ;)

I've already cheated and wikipedia'd, so I think I know the answer...

No, that is the Answer. I asked what is the "meaning" - that is, what is the Question?

Another one for Jammy to answer: "What is the sound of one hand clapping?"

It's the same as two hands clapping, you can't clap with only one hand.

No, that is not the answer either. You have to think outside the box to provide an answer to the seemingly illogical question.

Now you're in the right direction, so move on from the generic and provide an acceptable answer to the specific koan.

The riddle has achieved its purpose I feel fully refreshed. In my life I rarely achieve dead emptiness thank you. No answer though a sea change in priorities. M

I think Alan is currently travelling to work offshore, Chris, but from my (naughty) Wikipedia search that was what I concluded, too... We'll have to wait and see! :)

I looked at the OP and thought right I will get this. Meridian springs to mind initially as they threw everything at the basic building blocks. Im thinking when they first became drawer loaders Philips and Marantz had them

Philips 202?..No not that Marantz Cd73.these are not my final answers :) I will have to have a little snoop.

Probably one of the pricier Marantzes from that period.

I’ll agree, after all it was the first commercially available CD player, complete with remote. As I recall it sold for $1200 US.

yeah I looked up the Sony 101 and Im a bit gutted because Im a Philips boy :)

It took Philips a while to include a remote. Meridian thew everything at the basic chassis and I would have thought they had a remote.
