Anyone got a Brennan ?

And I was suggesting that the money spent on a Brennan would be better spent on a computer which will do all the things that the Brennan can do (and lots more) but with more flexibility and a better user interface.

When all audio-visual and computing devices, phone, internet and what have you are combined into one set-up (convergence) then that will change the dynamic again. I definitely think that not having music on vinyl (or CD) devalues it somewhat. And if you're of a generation who is used to not paying for music anyway, even more so.

It's the nature of the beast I guess. I certainly don't have a problem with it. I think the bottom line for me is that, for what it's designed to do the Brennan device doesn't represent a step forward technologically, and as such would be of questionable value.

I think my blood sugar must be a bit low. Can I go for my tea now please?

Yes, but don't be too long.

I'd certainly agree with that. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to sit on my comfy sofa, rest my bad back and listen to a CD.

At the risk of sounding stupid, I've never quite understood the difference (other than looks) between a Brenan and an ipod. I have my entire collection on ipod and the convenience and portability far outweighs any loss of sound quality. I grew up with cheap hi-fi systems and copies of copies on cassette, so it doesn't bother me.
