Seems like yesterday when I wondered whether I would ever own a CD player in my life. Tired of having a piece of junk that doesn't even play a CD properly, I have finally bought a proper CD player, an integrated amplifier and a good-looking pair of cherry-finished large bookshelf speakers. How have I managed without these? I've recently suspected that I don't really care too much for music. Now I can clearly say that music hasn't been so consoling as it used to be purely because my system was such a rubbish. With the new set, I can already feel my life has improved, enhanced and enriched. Time spent alone at home has become so much more enjoyable.
