I don't like the new stuff. Buy a BOSE, don't care. Sonos, good for you.
I understand that tech evolves, chassis change size, and Moore's law. Still don't care. I want what I want. Either you get it or you don't. The companies aren't making products for me, and it can be a hassle to keep my components running. Luckily there is the internet and others with the same mindset.
Exactly the same with cycling.
I have dabbled in vintage stereo to play my "Albums" maybe we should have sony walkmans so we can ride and listen to some hot 70's lol
I am embarrassed to say my Mcintosh Turntable after only 2 years is back to the manufacturer to be repaired for not maintaining speed (Warranty), the good news is my MCS 6700 a rebadged Technics that i got for $2.00 and fixed myself is still playing.. to be fair i did have to tinker with it a little but it was simple stuff i could do, there might be a parallel there. the modern MA 8900 receiver is very good however, sorry the valave sound is not currently in my stable but maybe one day...
