The more the government extends its surveillance over the internet under the pretence of "won't someone please think of the children", the more I'm inclined to go back to physical media.

What's a good Hi-Fi head unit with both cassette and MP3 CD?

I need to start building my physical music collection back up.

@pedro_mateus Sadly all the new cassette mechanisms are junk so you are better off finding an older one and trying to repair it. Not sure about CD players with MP3. I know for Record players there are lots of options but the Audio Technics LP120/140 is a classic that is still being made 40 years later.

@pedro_mateus I can't recommend something. Maybe check Techmoan on YT?

@pedro_mateus they younger generation is really into physical media now. I think it's because they never got to experience it. Old hardware too, it's a lot higher prices for used vintage gear now.

@pedro_mateus digital is fine - start collecting FLAC files and build your own Spotify with something like Navidrome. Self-hosting is fast becoming the future for all the reasons you say.
