## Resource

Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Clive Bull on LBC to discuss the latest tech news and reviews. On this week's show; Talk of an "AI Tax" is leading to an increase in prices globally, some significantly. How long will prices be inflated, and will they ever return to normal? Gadget of the Week goes to; Fiio's DM15 R2R Portable CD Player. This CD player uses an R to R DAC to give a warmth to either the CD or any audio source plugged into it, bringing back that sound quality we lost in the move to digital formats. With either mains or rechargeable battery and supplied with a remote control this could easily replace your home HiFi CD player and also provide tunes on the move. You can even use it to rip audio CDs to MP3 by inserting a USB thumb drive. Available in a range of colours, these are sure to impress music lovers. You can hear the Gadget Detective on LBC every Friday morning around 3.40am and you can follow and contact him on X @gadgetdetective and BlueSky @GadgetDetective.com #Fevzi #Turkalp #Gadget #Detective #Tech #Technology #News #Reviews #Help #Advice #Clive #Bull #LBC #Radio #AI #Tax #Artificial #Intelligence #Steamdeck #Playstation #Consumer #Electronics #Laptops #Apple #Trump #America #National #Security #China #ChatGPT #Claud #Perplexity #Gemini #Google #Prices #Electricity #GadgetoftheWeek #Week #Fiio #DM15 #Portable #Resister #Warmth #Audio #Quality #Sound #Digital #Convert #Rip
