CBC’s Spark just did a show on favourite old technologies. I couldn’t help but add my story into the mix:
My love for “old” technology is best represented by my stereo system: My first cd player was purchased in the early 1990s at Canadian Tire for about $90 (which was a hefty chunk of my dishwashing earnings!). The player survived my teenage years (and associated abuses), although it lost a few buttons along the way. It survived university years, and it still plays music for my wife and I today (although I have to use special technique to get it to play most cds).
I run the player through an old stereo amp that use to be my Dad’s when he was in college in the early 70s. It’s a sweet tube amp that has a great sounds and good power. In fact, I had a friend make me an offer on it, as he thought it was an invaluable relic for refined music tastes . .. I don’t know about that, but I do know I like it.
