Futureproof
SOUND YOUR MUSIC TASTES MAY CHANGE WITH THE YEARS, BUT YOUR SOUND SYSTEM DOESN’T NEED TO
Over the last year, music has kept me sane. Working from home is mind-numbing, but at least it’s given me a chance to appreciate some classic vinyl I’d been neglecting in the corner. The funny thing is that despite gathering dust, they sound as good today as they did when I first bought them most of a decade ago. In short, they’re futureproof – so if like me you’ve revisited your collection, you probably want a system that’s as long-lasting as your vinyl. Buying a sound-system however is like buying a fine watch. You could pay as little as possible, overlooking the shoddy quality and fleeting lifespan of cheap, mass-produced tat (built-in redundancy included). Or you can invest in something which will not only sound like bliss to the eardrums now, but will keep your vinyl sounding just as spectacular for years to come. No matter how much dust it collects.
