Should a man even consider new machines or aim for a choice older refurb model these days?

[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1923137, member: 83420"] [USER=415933]@Toroidal[/USER] This is an interesting thread. At the end of the day, it's your money, your choice and your hardware. Do what you like. Valid discussion and debate is healthy and hopefully beneficial. That's we are here for. The analogy with cars is relevant in a way because there are always people who want the fastest, most luxurious, most elegant car notwithstanding that road conditions and speed limits prevent many of these "extras" being utilised. And so with HiFi. Speakers costing £5K, turntables at £2K and so on and on - because the people spending these thousands get joy from their listening experience - even if the rest of us can't hear the difference. So be it with you. Buy what you want and revel in the thrill of using it. Finally, I use the iMazing app to backup all our iDevices and store the backups on an EHD. The app is inexpensive (relatively) and once the first BU is done on a Device via USB, subsequent ones can be done via WiFi or USB cable. You might find that helpful?
