"An ever diminishing number of households have CD players" I said.

Here’s a video: https://youtu.be/hBWpJ68uD9Y

This one revealed a shocker about the state of Sony audio in 2023.

There is one (count it), one, current product left in Sony's ‘HiFi Components’ range.

I know it’s a sign of the times and I’m aware it’s all about consumer demand and I understand that they can’t sell things that aren’t profitable just for the sake of nostalgia…but flippin heck it’d be like BMW silently stopping making cars to concentrate on their bicycle range.

This is a bit of a weird video, but you should have seen the state of it before I edited things down. It was such a bloated, rambling, disjointed mess I really feel like I’ve achieved something cutting it down to this…or anything watchable. Especially considering that I edited the whole thing on my laptop while the builder is killing the old bathroom with extreme prejudice.

I’m going to have to a few days off now as I can’t shoot anything new until the house returns to normal. Take care.

UPDATE: I’d forgotten that a PS5 Digital Edition existed - so I’ve added it in via an overlay. The updated video is the one now embedded and linked to above.

A) Patrons https://www.patreon.com/techmoan usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version. If you want to see the videos early and before any adverts are added, you can sign up to Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/techmoan
