I have just bought a new audio thingy, to give it the correct technical name. My big rig is now boxed up in the cellar as it did not fit with the design plan. The big speakers survived as they look cool, but I needed a one box solution to include CD player, streaming and amplification (with a basic phono stage being ‘nice to have’) to plug into them. I was able to find something that fit the bill and the budget (Audiolab Omnia), and there were indeed several different options available to choose from.
There would have been about 10 times as many options if CD playback was not a requirement, but it’s good to know that at least a few manufacturers continue to pander to we fetishists of the silver beermat. Long may our audio perversion continue!
