Computer HiFi

In this video I once again "virtually preserve" a forgotten old product. In this case even when it came out it was probably very unknown. This is the Schneider Boston from 1993. The first HiFi system with a GUI (Graphical User Interface). I honor their efforts...

[@midwinter78]

Schneider: I've heard of them, and I'm from the UK. Way back in the 1980s we had an Amstrad computer. Amstrad was a brand that pivoted from affordable hifi to computers. I'd heard that Amstrad computers were distributed in German by Schneider under the Schneider brand. So it makes _total_ sense that Schneider would be an affordable hifi company.

[@kajsagauza]

I confirm, we had Schneider-Amstrads in Poland

[@Noweee]

The company's complete name was Schneider Rundfunkwerke

[@kuchenblechmafiagmbh1381]

Yeah, especially the CPCs were rebranded to Schneider, I have a CRT Monitor labeled as Schneider (although it's only VGA so I guess from mid- to late 90s, while the CPCs were in the 80s). Interestingly Techmoan had an Amstrad-branded Hi-Fi system, he already had a similar in this youth and looking back at it, it wasn't so good, rather cheapo.

[@mbirth]

@@kuchenblechmafiagmbh1381 Yep, can confirm. In the late 80s, my dad brought home a Schneider CPC464 home computer. (By the way, did you get that safe open yet?)

The collector cycle: Buy storage for your collection. Commit to never buying more than you have storage for. Fill up storage. Repeat.

As long as you are not renting storage spaces, it is all good.

[@franknord4826]

Posy is RetroAhoy for audio nerds and I love every bit of it. It's crazy just how *perfect* this stuff is. I will take something like this over a weekly release schedule grind 13/10 times!

[@rus.t]

I like getting updates from Posy’s bandcamp. It means a new video is next.

[@The_Discovery_Pages]

Oh god each of these videos feels like they’re ethereal level marketing for the future-past. Your work continues to completely and utterly break the mold. You take what makes Ahoy and LGR so amazing, and somehow blend it all with such tremendous photography and lighting. I never really changed, either. But its amazing to watch our work grow as we do. Your aesthetic is a beacon. Your channel is an example. Thank you as always for your inspiration, senpai. 🙏

[@matchc0635]

sounds silly but I like watching old consumer electronic like these and then proceed to cope how they are better even when they are literally older than me and I had no way to experience the thing when they first came out

[@trashtrash2169]

This is not better than anything nowadays.

[@joinedupjon]

Even low spec hi fi from the 90s had better quality tape decks than you can get today.

[@SnakebitSTI]

@@joinedupjonFor the same reason you can't find quality new manufacture machines for so many other audio formats: Compact cassette is obsolete. Even CDs are obsolete at this point. Most people are happy with streaming music from their phones, TVs, etc. Most enthusiasts are happy with buying lossless audio downloads. Compact cassette would need to become popular again the way vinyl has to support an industry producing new, high quality cassette decks. Compounding the issue, most compact cassette enthusiasts probably already have good cassette decks. New manufacture would have to compete with the used market.

[@trashtrash2169]

@@joinedupjon Yes, but any sufficient mp3 nowadays will have better sound quality than a cassette tape, no matter how good. It's also leagues more convienient. It can even be fun still if you're using an iPod Classic. The click wheel is so much fun.

[@Wintorn]

Every video on this channel is a delight.

[@H67MA]

I love this channel. It's mostly random irrelevant facts about obscure technology, but presented in so ridiculously high quality that it captivates me every time. The high resolution footage, the crisp narration, the quirky music - it all fits together so well. I keep thinking back to a stereo system that I used to have, Panasonic SA-AK45 (took me a while to find the exact model). It had so many lights and buttons and an auto-changing CD tray... though I mostly used it as aux amplifier and never touched most of its functions. And the design of the whole thing just screamed "Y2K". These videos give off a similar vibe, showcasing how cool these systems were in their time.

[@kakyoindonut3213]

every video you upload isn't just videos, it's an art project

[@capaciousgrace]

Posy vids are so cozy and crispy. I heard the phrase "Interested people are interesting," and damn if I can't find a better example. You invite the audience in to learn some obscure thing with which you became fascinated and make the whole experience feel shared. As always, beautiful visuals, sound, and touch of your humor! Cheers.

[@mark902]

this channel is just too relatable. i would scour flyers and catalogues in the 90s for mini systems like this. not boomboxes, just mini systems. if it had a handle; i wasn't interested... unless it had a drawer loading cd player and full logic cassette decks with a remote. then maybe.

[@kskmain]

Fascinating stuff! It's always interesting to see these early attempts at new technology. Schneider definitely deserves credit for being ahead of the curve in 1993.

[@JayFolipurba]

you are good at audio mixing. Like that segment where you illustrate things getting louder, but you don't go above the maximum, which is always the voice over volume. There are so many people, who are even working on a professional level who mess things like this up

[@catbertsis]

I imagine Posy as that kid from the European 90s commercials, who lived that perfect life, and is now here for us to tell the tale.

[@ciCCapROSTi]

Dude your vids are just so oozing with aesthetic, even that shot in daylight of the hifi next to the plant is such a pretty composition.

[@Papierzeit]

A Schneider CPC 6128 was my first real computer that I used for many years. I really like Schneider for their design language as they have always tried new things, also as you can see here with their Audio products.

Yet another wonderful Posy video. Shame about the overflowing stereo storage, but I know how that is with hobbies, hah. That volume display is weird, wonder why they decided to go with that scale. RIP Red Casette.

[@lechdabrowski3614]

Man, I really like this type of content. Yesterday I woul've passed next to one of these without a second glance, but now I have a renewed appreciation for vintage hi-fi. Now excuse me - I'm off to search for Panasonic SA-AK45 - my childhood audio system.

[@dosyara]

As one dutch guy I know once said: 'Posy is very gezellig' and couldn't agree more.

WOW! So glad I didnt see the thumbnail. When Posy opened the display, i was litteraly like WTF?! 😲 Great video! Thanks for making them look good 😎

Tremendous production value, Posy. RIP Red Casette.

[@rolliseventeen]

i remember this. we had a cheaper Schneider and i hesitated to buy this. i went for onkyo which lasted around 25yrs. i still search for a special marantz audio processor or such a kind of unit with display and did not found it, even not a simple picture. i remember a test in a german hifi paper which i lost in water floods years ago.... i love these old things, fisher system 276, old kenwood receivers.
