Quad CD player/ Bobby Jaspar

[adh1907]

So my Quad 99 CDP player starts playing up, making glitchy noises. While playing Bobby Jaspar’s Jeux de quartes, after one too many jumps, I give up and pull my old Marantz Ki signature out of the loft.  Not touched for 10+ years. What should be in it but a CD of Bobby Jaspar’s quartets and quintets. Spooky.

(I have hundreds of CDs.  Not all of them by Bobby Jaspar, I should add.) 

incidentally the Marantz sounds great and not noticeably better or worse than the Quad.
