Our 25 year old Arcam Alpha 9 integrated CD player finally died, and having already been repaired in the past, we decided it was time to update. Opted for transport with separate DAC, choosing the new Quad 3CDT paired up with the Chord Qutest. Sounds excellent, a distinct improvement on what we had.

Forget about music streaming. Be a music lover, not a music consumer!
CD and book of SKE48, a famous japanese idol band, bought in Japan.
Don't ask what the book is!

Yep, that's a sticker for a Punk distro based in Vosges, France. I am a Jpop lover Punk, problem? 🙃

Die Schublade unseres CD Players ließ sich nicht mehr öffen. Was sich nach dem Öffnen des Gehäuses offenbarte, war für mich überraschend.
Die Zähne des Antriebs waren weg! Als ich das Zahnrad ausbauen wollte, ist es vollkommen zerbröselt. Wie gut, dass es ein Ersatzteil zu kaufen gibt 👍

Since I was cleaning the #movies shelf, decided to have #MovieMusic (yep, still have some #cassettes and a player… and some tapes never got replaced with CDs) #Cliffhanger score by Trevor Jones back when scores weren’t just thumping “mood music”
While John William’s theme for Superman is easily recalled, I’m hard-pressed to recall the 2025 Superman theme.
