Looking fwd to Pt 2 and watching Pt 1 again before hand. Packed with detail and texture.

Head and shoulders above...

Had a chance on a MOON at an auction last year, massively undervalued, let it go due to insufficient funds... Still hurts!

To throw more cats into the pigeon flock, in the 90's Audio Technica (?) sold disc stabilising hoops that fitted around the edge of a CD, adding a little mass and allegedly absorbing reflected laser...

Excellent! Never seen him in a truly dreadful movie.

Or cast from Spotify... I am doing it and typing at the same time right now!!

4. Tidal streamed material.

Not a million miles away from the CDP but somehow less engaging. Listening to the same tracks I have on file on the laptop resulted in a more vibrant, dynamic and vivid...

You're quite correct...
I've been faffing about with a few laptops etc. and a iPhone X into a iFi Hip-dac. But my usual is a Google Chromecast 2nd gen.
For convenience Chromecast is "good...

I have tried several PC/laptop ways of playing music and they've all been OK. But that's it. Just OK. Not great for video either.

Listening to a Faure Requiem on CD right now, really delicate,...

I've been dabbling with streaming using a Google thingy that I had languishing redundant for years until I worked out how to connect it to my phone and laptop. A mate also lent me his iFi DAC to...

Thanks for all above...
Jeff Lynn production, absolutely pants.
I had some doubts about these new fangled pressings...

I replaced my original decades old AWB Average White Band album with a new 180gram copy. No surprise that the new one sounded better...

Wading through some of my boxes, I have discs that sound...

I have 2 pairs of these fabulous speakers. Like a more accurate Linn Kan, but not so annoying yet every bit as exciting and rhythmical.

GLWS. Exceptional.

Fragile soul.

I have found 2x TDK CDing2 Chrome blank cassettes in my "treasure" box, that have to be 25yrs old. They are both shrink wrapped.
I sold my lovely Nakamichi deck here about 3 yrs ago and would have...

Sounds adequate. I use it but I equate it with "listening to the radio". Convenient, like right now, but not for "listening". But I get what you mean.

Brilliant. We seek what we hope others will approve of.

From a tech perspective, yes, I suspect so. It has got as near perfect as I can't hear.
I suspect it's the analogue side that makes the difference, and analogue differences are a matter of taste. ...

Great pictures and narrative.
I had a great holiday there when it was still Yugoslavia back in the 80's and I was a younger, slimmer man.
The red tile roofs are fabulous. I remember the beer was...

I am sad to see this hasn't attracted any interest. I have heard one and they sound delightfully detailed and unfatiguing.
£300 would be a bargain. I have at least one too many CD players, alas. ...

Thanks Barry. Genuinely.

Like many blokes I talk about stuff in humorous terms, but FWIW I am as confused and fucked up trying to work out the opposite sex as I was 40 yrs ago!

I use humour as...

Of course you are right on all those points Barry. Surely it's ok to run stuff past other blokes? Or bloke-esses? Yeah, it's a hifi forum, but this is an off topic space. I am sorry if you thought...

Is there an issue here about a man wanting to discuss emotional stuff?? I am getting conflicting messages. Can't we keep the techy stuff in some places and other stuff somewhere else??

As before, not relevant. Really? Not for this bit of the forum? You are a moderator?

Now I'm thinking that is not helpful of sympathetic.
