The Thomson Lyra (1999) was one of the earliest MP3 players, and the first digital audio player that could be upgraded via software downloads. Originally released in the US by RCA, the Lyra RD2201 seen in the advert below came with a 32MB Compact Flash card.

Acoustic Technology Products That Time Forgot:

The Konexx Koupler 204 Acoustic Coupler (1994)

This nearly end-of-life, 9-volt battery-operated acoustic coupler allowed small businesses to send faxes and check e-mail acoustically using a telephone receiver – at a blazing-fast 26kbps (maximum) – for only US$149 (not adjusted for inflation).

The mellow glow of a ChiFi headphone tube amp on my desk, makes work almost fun. No it does not improve the fidelity of the amplified signal 🤓
