    Considering what I've thrown at it, having initially bought it for one tiny job, it's done remarkably well. I'm more impressed with it than my Makita stuff on the basis that I expect Makita to be decent, but this I expected to crap its pants in ten minutes and the other night it went max speed for over an hour and didn't blink.

    Natural sound is my favourite kind of sound.

    I've bought a couple of their hand tools and I haven't managed to break any yet. I always manage to break the expensive stuff, but the cheap crap just won't die. :dremel:

    My only experience of Silverline was rather different. Several years ago I bought a cigar shaped sharpening stone for my grass hook. It was completely and utterly useless. Instead of sharpening the blade as I drew the stone across it, it just produced a shower of sand as the stone disintegrated. Never bought Silverline since.

    When things don't break I just assume that I'm not using them hard enough!

    See, I don't normally mind buying cheap version of some things. I work on the theory that if I break the cheap one then I need a good one. If I don't break a cheap one, then it'd have been unnecessary to buy the expensive one.

    Choices for multi-disc players are a smidge limited to about 2.

    Odd that the D9L didn't come with AM4 mounting... unless it's an older model (pre-AM4)...?

    EDIT:
    This says AM4 bits may be included.

    It does but to mount it 90 degrees it needs the mounting kit. Double checked with them on twitter.

    This is to replace a Technics one which has just pooped the bed, still it gave 21 years of service so it owes me nothing.

    I didn't realise CD changers were still a thing.

    I still have a Marantz CD63 KI Sig that was last used... 5 years ago perhaps?

    I had a 5.25" three-CD auto-changer CD-ROM in my server back in the day. Showed up as three distinct drives, and when you chose one of the two that wasn't currently loaded there was a pause, a clunking sound, then it loaded. Used a special caddy and everyfink.

    Should have kept it, really.

    I'm still idly shopping for a replacement to my Cambridge Audio CD player. And actively buying CD's.

    I like sitting in a chair and just listening to an album.
