Man I miss the sound setup I had in highschool. It was hodgepodged together from speakers my dad borrowed from a friend in the 90s, a hand-me-down CD player that let you load 6 CDs at once, and the record player I got for Christmas in grade 9 so it didn't have the "best" sound quality but it worked for my teenage emo purposes. Dad dismantled it when I went off to uni because he started using my room as an office and the whole contraption took up half a bookcase and somehow the speakers/cd player went missing so I'll never get it back but I think of it like a long lost friend.

#the record player is still around but it doesn't hook up to newer speakers (hence the hodgepodge) so I haven't used it since #I think the cd player might've had a tape deck too but I didn't have tapes so I don't remember #anyway this was prompted by me listening to an album that felt like it should be played on vinyl #I hope that doesn't sound too pretentious #listening to it digitally was perfectly fine but sometimes the intended medium enhances the experience #like how certain songs sound better live #edit: I know the speakers weren't finally returned to the friend but they're nowhere to be found
