Re: WTB: Working CD player for almost no money!

Never mind. At my suggestion the brother bought a Sony DVD player in Currys for 49 euro, and it's now spinning merrily away. Apart from a slightly louder mechanism he thinks it sounds as good as or better than the venerable Arcam. Digital really has come a long way since the 90s.

WTB: Working CD player for almost no money!

Hi all, the Arcam Alpha 6 player I donated to my brother many moons ago is finally dying. Just wondering if anyone has a player gathering dust that they'd be willing to sell for cheap? There's not much budget available here.

Ta.

Re: Dutch & Dutch 8c

Yeah, and they're good enough that they've unlocked a hunger I had successfully suppressed. The Dutch would not be to replace the Audioplans in my mind, they'd go somewhere else (where I could possibly play louder).

I'll get over it in a week or two.

Sloop John B had a demo lined up years ago, but I don't know if it ever happened.

I'm not sure I'm ready to make this kinda leap again!

Re: What music are you listening to currently?

One of the things I love about streaming is finding stuff you'd never come across otherwise. Qobuz suggested this new release to me this morning and, in a sure sign that the algo has got me nailed, I unironically love it. 80s-style synthy cheese that skirts so close to parody it's both ridiculous an...

Dutch & Dutch 8c

There was some talk of these back in the day, but has anyone here ever heard them? I've been down a rabbit hole reading about them recently and I've got myself in all of a tizzy now, and really need some direct experience.

Anyone?

Re: What are you listening two?

The Kondrashin box set has been on my 'must get' list of recordings for more than a decade now. But it has been out of print for far too long and the only sets available have been second hand sets at a rip off price. Some day perhaps. Given this, it's interesting that it's available to stream on Qo...
