A CD is so damn boring. The engineers have covered up everything. I can't even read the nomenclature on the back of any BLACK plastic component made in some sweat shop in China, Taiwan or Mexico or where-ever. At least they could print the inputs and outputs, switches in white against black. The manual that came with my recent HP fax machine is printed with such faint ink I had to buy a magnifying glass to read it. The HP fax machine survived only about a week when static electricity came in on the phone line and destroyed it. Yep, it's made in China!
I really feel that the bulk of the consumer electronic industry has committed itself to selling CRAP. It's marketing driven to make you buy a new one every 6 months. The wishes of audiophiles are not considered. Ray Hughes
