I have a Dynaco tube output CD player. I like it, and it sounds quite good. For whatever reason, I lost the remote after two years, and it HAS to be somewhere around my listening room, but I have never been able to find it. I have another CDP whose remote works it, but it still upsets me. All the other remotes I have, including for VCRs. Just wish I could find that remote.
By the way, two close high school buddies are sergeant and detective in two of the local police forces. They usually gives me the current lay of the land whenever we get together. Lots of opioid addiction, which I find beyond tragic. So many of these people take part in this sort of B & E crime in and around the Philadelphia area. What they want, ranked in order are 1) cash 2) jewelry, and 3) iPhones, iPads, and laptops. IOW, items they can quickly sell for almost nothing to finance the next week or two of highs. The kitchen and master bedroom is what gets hit hardest, and what most people find most hurtful is the jewelry for obvious sentimental reasons. Given it’s difficult to hack an iphone / iPad because of iCloud, I don’t know what they see in taking that stuff. Supposed street value is $25, tops. They don’t go for big screen tvs or stereo equipment, as it’s in the grand scheme of their existence, that stuff proves difficult to move. For example, how would they ever carry out a pair of Vandersteen 2s or a Rowland amp? After that, who would they sell it to? You don't see such items come up from that sort of seller on Audiogon. That’s no guarantee, of course...
