How CD players got boring…

and why the Technics SL-P1200 is one of the exceptions.

This one took me a long time to make inspite of its modest length. I’ve put this down to the fact that it’s really two different videos in one.

In the first half I take a look at the rapid early evolution of CD player design - up to the point where that evolution pretty much stopped just as soon as it had started.

I felt this backstory was needed before I could go on to explain why I find the Technics SL-P1200 that I demonstrate in the second half, to be so appealing.

I hope you enjoy it.

It’s been a funny old week here, I feel I’ve fallen way behind on everything so I must apologise if I haven’t managed to reply to everyone’s messages. I’ve 565 emails flagged for a reply - those are just the ones that I really wanted to get to...one day.

Thanks for all your kind words, stay well and keep smiling.
