I think you could use the mechanism in a higher end player transport and with better quality electronics and dacs they’d sound really good. But equally if you’re paying multiple thousands you want something substantial and probably more aluminium than plastic and those sony blu ray drives are...

Yeah when oppo shuttered PS Audio tried to buy their drive manufacturing but were turned down so they went to Marantz as the sole show in town. I think I remember them saying their unit jumped quite a bit in price because Marantz charged a fair bit. Some sony blu ray drives do still play SACD...

I have a copy of BSSM and I think I thought I liked it back in the 90s. I listened to it probably 5 years ago, maybe longer, and I just hated it with an unreal passion. It’s just fundamentally terrible and unlikable and it just hurts my brain.

This isn’t awful and if I had to listen to chilis this would be the one. I don’t have to though. Well until they come up on my play through, I have a few CDs that I haven’t listened to in probably more than a decade.

There are good ones?

What borders on stupidity?

I’d probably get the blue jeans off their Amazon store then. That’s how I ordered my BJC 10 speaker cables back in the day.

Believe me it’s not any better being at the mercy of your country’s bizarre existential crisis.

Infrastructure and workforce are two things that you can’t really do without if you’re wanting to do anything on a large enough scale. We’re just going to see rampant inflation.

I'd love to help but I’m away this weekend so I’m going to be grasping scraps on Sunday evening and Monday myself I’m affraid!

So they’d like tubes and class a in general then.
