Speaking of old Technics gear, these three components of my system are still working. That stuff is really well made…pretty much everything else I bought during that era (80s-early 90s) from other brands, even Japanese brands, died long ago. I do miss my old Shure hyperelliptical stylus + cartridge though. It sounded a lot better than the only-PMount-available Audio Technica replacement I was forced to buy a few years ago.
And a funny note: the CD player is so old that it has a special “Emphasis” detector that compensates for a noise reduction process used on early CDs called Pre-emphasis.
