I’m coming into this area as a practical and philosophical result of:
- me wanting to own my music
- CDs are barely being made
2.1. If they are - they’re not being shipped to my corner of the world - Torrenting often failed me in terms of variety.
However - I am absolutely ignorant about equipment, maintainance, and know-hows of the audiophile world.


I bought a used super-oem player years ago for €100. They’re more for DJ’s I think, but the quality and maintainability is great and spare parts are abundant.
