Radio/CD player. Whats the latest thinking ??

For less than £300 you might be better just in an electronics shop, Currys have several DAB/CD Hi-Fi's for less than that with the features you need. Or try starting with just a google search like "CD DAB Hi-Fi" and finding a model with what you want and explore some prices.

2 I found:
JVC UX-D750 Wireless Traditional Hi-Fi System £169
JVC UX-D327B Wireless Traditional Hi-Fi System £59.99

Neither are sound guru systems but they're not meant to be!

Or do what I did and buy a old second hand system - Cash Converters sold me this for £25 fully working, don't need DAB and I use a Bluetooth adapter (£10ish) if needed. No remote but its sat next to me on the desk so don't need it!

Being outstripped by sales of vinyl, apparently, but a turntable is no good in a car.

But sometimes a car is good on vinyl

An interesting read on UK music consumption by format (83% streaming):

This has been recommended for years in its many generations, with good reason:

Again, thanks but I don't want a system. I want a simple 'all in one'.

 

[Dave7]

How about something like this if not wanting to spend £400 odd on the arguably better Denon?

Thanks.....I will look into that one.

I think I misunderstood - to me that was an 'all in one'!

Bust your budget, but it's really good:

The Roberts looks nice and they generally sound good enough too.

Will also help the OP to wean himself off of CD's and stream instead.

I think it's a good and versatile option, and reasonably priced for what it offers

Can I offer an alternative approach after playing around with high end HiFi.

1. Get a Google Nest Mini for £20
2. Get spotify for free
3. Connect thru Google Home App on your phone.
4. Just call out "Hey Google, play music"
5. If you want Bob Marley - just say "Bob Marley"
6. Its bloody clear, you can adjust treble / bass via your phone google app.
7. If want it louder, just say "louder"
8. If all of sudden you forgot the who runs the country, just ask and it will tell you

ps. there is a possibility that you might have to let your partner go in view of the new company.
