I thought my last CD player was the linn cd12 I bought 20 years ago but after I discovered replacement parts aren’t available anymore my next “last CD player “ will be an entry level of Rega or Naim, my last one and cheapest one. No way I spend big money on digital anymore.
All VeeJay originals I have sound good, the mono better then stereo, IMHO.
My first Monk record, bought as twoofer in the late seventies, Brilliance.
edit: bought with Monk/Trane twoofer if memory serves me well.
