Dear Fellow HiFiens
Having been a music lover and self proclaims techy I've always been interested in Vinyl, somehow that rotating disc always fascinated me but haling from a middle class family I was restricted to a BPL 2-in-1 and a few audio cassettes.
It was mid 90s and I used to spend my weekly pocket money solely over
cassette but always had issues with them, like I had to adjust the head of my 2-in-1 every time I played a different cassette and then there was hiss associated with them, that made me grind my teeth but alas there was no escape.
Then came audio CD in late 90s and I heard them at a friend's place and boy was it good ? to me hearing a no noise crystal clear sound without hiss and humm was like being in heaven ALIVE.
But what about price ? I was in college and again had little money with me, but my Super Daddy surprised me by giving me the money but I still had to give an arm and leg and then still could just buy an akai mini hi-fi with in built 3 CD changer. The mini comp system was made in Japan and was worth it's salt. But the problem was buying CDs to play and lemme remind you in those days audio CDs were about 350 apiece so what I was to do ?
most of CDs were exchanged between friends and so on...
