I hit that button though, so here I am!
I used to be in to HiFi as a teen, that lead me in to pro-audio field of education.
After that (music tech, for the gear more then making music) I have worked mostly in AV, but had a good stint in a London based Mastering Studio (Restoring the audio for CD re-issue using a Cedar Cambridge)
Having FINALLY moved in to a house where I can make as much noise as I want (owning your 4th wall outright is expensive, but we got here)... I'm being drawn back in to HiFi.
I've already bought a Marantz CD273 (A seemingly forgotten TDA1541a model that shares it's CDM and PCB with higher models such as the Philips CD650, probably doesn't help it looks EXACTLY like a CD45).. but this is due to be replaced, any day now, with a Marantz CD65 (mk1).
Yes.. they do have the same internal parts. I'm not convinced the 273 is healthy, so between the two players some modding and repairing will now occur and I'll hopfully end up with the CD player I hope too.
Looking forward to contributing 🙂
