The Vinyl, CD & Cassette thread

The ultimate vintage hi-fi system - Soundesign 5988​

The most 1970s-looking chrome and woodgrain cassette and 8-track stereo system ever made... that's actually from the early 1980s. And despite the reputation of Soundesign being a cheap brand of audio components, it's surprisingly well-made, good-sounding, and reliable.

 
Vinyl... Pffft

Now this otoh, is absolutely amazing!

after over 20 years of collecting I stopped purchasing vinyl about 4 years ago, paying close to R1000 for an album is a bit much
i always check flea markets. always pick them up cheap. granted its old music.
 
To hear the effect of this, the Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel on an LP puts ears onto a CD at the end of the track. On a record with a reasonably good player, amp and speakers where you can hear (nearly feel) the depth and echo as they fade away into the distance, yet it's lost on a CD.
 
for those still under the impression you can buy albums for under R200

if you find any of these albums for that price I'll gladly pay you R400 for one

That vinyl album costs $49.00 in the USA. Good luck at getting it cheaper unless you want 2nd hand.
