Are vintage CD players better than modern ones?

Hi friends, First, the Forever Analog YouTube channel passed 50,000 subscribers this weekend. I started this channel as a way to help friends with their audio gear purchases and hitting this kind of milestone is very surreal. I appreciate any of you who subscribe and take time out of your busy day to watch my videos. Speaking of YouTube... I thought it would be fun to compare a vintage CD player with a new model, but make sure it was the same manufacturer. So, I bought two Denon CD players, one from 1989 that was Made in Japan and a new model from today, to see if the vintage player was better than the new one: I really enjoyed making this video and it's quickly becoming one of my most popular with almost 200k views in less than 3 days. Check it out if interested, you might be surprised at what I found out... Speaking of CD players, I recently updated my Discogs store with new sealed CDs in all genres and I also have some cheap used CDs available as well. If you like buying CDs, consider browsing the online store today. Also, don't forget, if you'd like to connect with me one on one with a live video call, you can schedule time here: https://calendly.com/aaronhartley-foreveranalog I hope you have a great week.

If you upgrade too quickly, you'll never know the baseline sound signature of...
Hi friends, In the early 1980s, Sony was a leader, along with Philips, in the design, implementation and release of CDs and CD players. Today, Sony no longer makes CD players. In my new YouTube video, I spend time marveling at Sony's engineering on a player they released in 1986, while also trying to understand why they stopped making players today: I enjoyed making this video and hope you do too. Have a great week! Aaron
Hi friend, I just released a new YouTube video that’s a little different from my usual gear reviews. This time, I’m talking about 5 rock bands from the 1970s that don’t get nearly enough attention but should. These aren’t the obvious names like Led Zeppelin, Cream or AC/DC. These are bands that: influenced bigger artists made incredible albums somehow slipped through the cracks I found most of these recommendations after spending hours digging in records stores.
