Recorded music has spent the better part of a century repeatedly declaring the previous format obsolete. And it’s not wrong, exactly. Vinyl yielded to tape, tape gave way to the compact disc, CDs surrendered to digital files, and eventually the whole mess seemed destined to dissolve into an app that would charge us $9.99 a month for the rest of our natural lives.

But is something obsolete if it can still move you, touch you, make you dance? This stereo treats that history less like a succession of dead technologies and more like one very long playlist. It plays 33⅓, 45, and 78 rpm records, cassettes, CDs, MP3s from USB drives and SD cards, AM/FM radio, and music streamed from a phone or tablet over Bluetooth. So the album you bought in college, the mixtape someone made you in 1987, the CD you played through a breakup, and the song you discovered last week can all come through the same set of speakers.

There’s something reassuring about a machine that refuses to take sides in the format wars. Some may say digital has won on convenience, but who listens to their favorite song and sighs “listen to that convenience”? The Any Music Format Stereo is for both new finds and those old recordings that still know exactly where they were when you needed them.
