I’ll watch anything this channel makes.
@SquimpusMcGrimpus
your editing is always so nice. very stylized and professional, but not in an in-your-face way. like a good documentary
@nikolaknezevic2772
I love how this thing gives off a late 20th century retro futurism vibe, like if the internet never existed sound systems like this would be everywhere.
@salimsirieh
The user interface is so timeless it made me speechless! Never in my life have I seen something so well designed and so much ahead of its time. I mean the whole design is timeless, but the graphic interface, wow that is something! It still feels modern.
@GGYThere
honestly i quite like the way they implemented the controls on this device, just a few quality of life tweaks and youve got a beautiful machine
@stevendodd2414
Found your channel fairly recently from your mouse cursor video and have binged almost all of your content since. I’m shocked you haven’t grown sooner!
@collincole9964
@posy - Even with its flaws, I'm proud to have worked on this for several years in the '90s. Still a good example of how design ideas (some great, some naive) fare when they hit the realities of product economics, engineering and manufacturing realities.

OMG! What a blast from the past. Really enjoyed working on this and the video brought back so many memories. He says there was never a pull out remote like this. That's true for home audio but this was inspired by car audio systems with removable faces for security reasons. The original proposal was to have a GUI on the device and have a standard SONY-style remote. But that would require our users to learn two different systems. The removable car stereo inspired this (coincidentally I had one in my little pickup truck). Also love seeing all the graphics. I remember the constraint of no color - just 256 shades of grey. Posy, thanks for posting this. And you did it on my wedding anniversary - what a gift!
@CalebsBoring
The little cry the remote gives before death when the battery is flat, is just so... adorable, sad, funny and frightening all at the same time.
@EilonwyWanderer
The blue one is the same color as the Game Boy Advance SP I had back in the day! Very very interesting and bizarre system. Great to see you cover it!
@zo869
The way my jaw dropped seeing how the remote was removed from the docking station! What a fabulous piece of design, your presentation of these machines that I would never normally think about is so exciting. Keep up the great work!
@banjofries
Man. The simple styled black-to-white GUI really gives a sense of nostalgia for similar types of GUI that showed up on websites, mp3 players, and software in the early 2000s. It reminds me of one person in particular I really wish I payed more attention to before they got taken off the internet. Thanks for showing this off for all of us.
@greatvedas
Cannot appreciate enough, how well the video is made. I am able to appreciate this dual player so much because of your amazing presentation that explores every hidden functionality & clear explanation. Chapeau!
@JohnDaubSuperfan369
Wow, brings back so many memories, I definitely worked on this as well! In fact, I was the assistant (to the) lead designer. There's a few "easter eggs" hidden into the UI, hope you find them! 😉
@tiggerbiggo
I really like your music, it's refreshing to hear unique sounds rather than stock music and it's great that you put the effort in to make a backing track for your video work, wanted to let you know I appreciate it :)
@BjornNordseth
The production value of these videos is just insane. Every segment is well-edited and thought through, and the sound-mixing is perfect. Thank you!
@mimikyoo
Definitely a relic of a forgotten age. Something like this in modern tech, with a Bluetooth paired remote would be pretty cool
@kaylzshter6153
How the hell did you turn a review for obscure tech into actual video art. Your presentation, music, editing, narration, and storytelling are just fantastic! Bravo!
@SolidIncMedia
For a while I've been wanting to make an interface similar to this on E-Ink for displaying stats about my home (e.g. temperature, upcoming calendar events etc.), because there's something retro yet futuristic about a monochrome display, and it brings back memories of watching shows like Beyond 2000 (an Australian show about upcoming technology) where they often showcased "home appliances" like that.
