I would say:

1. My and Alexa's music recorders are the best.

Hello Jw123

You can also think of it like this:

1. Alexa and I's music is good =  The music of Alexa and I is good.

We can say "of Alexa", but we can't say "of I". So something must be wrong!

 What is the latest on using the split infinitive?

Hi,

What is the latest on using the split infinitive? It's OK, as long as you are able to stylishly split it.

Best wishes, Clive
