Hi all.
From all the - my sources I have owned in the past 50 years,
I have two criterias to describe what I like and don't like.
Turntable :
Only a few makes and models look nice to me.
Denon and Luxman are the ones.
What I don't like :
Is the inital set up and the maintenance of vinyl, cartridge, etc...
Cassette player :
Mostly all vintage models from several brands.
What I like :Easy of operation.
What I like less : Sound, not that it is bad, but could be better.
Reel to Reel :
What I like is the look, impressive, especially the one with the BIG spools
and VU meters.
I like the sound, especially at higher recording - playing speed.
What I don't like ? Well nothing really, except maybe the price.
CD Player :
I haven't seen any CDP that look nice to me,
however, I do like the CDP with vertical CD ad large window that you can see the CD spinning.
Sound is good.
Internet radio:
What I like is the chooice of music and it's free.
What I also like is the sound on some stations.
What I like is the prices for all budget.
What I don't like : Too much stations to choose from. LOL.
For the amplifiers, I love the Pioneer, Sony, Scott, Fisher, Marrantz, Sansui receivers for their look more than their sound.
I like the illuminated dial with the vu meters.
Conclusion : Internet Radio, maybe a cheap turntable just in case I want to spin some vinyls
and maybe one day, a R2R machine, just for the fun of owning one.
Well, that's it, that's all.
