Two comments which just add a bit more information. 1. In the early days of CD vertical players (and top loading horizontal ones) were as common...
I always think of it as "Apple Money". People who spend that kind of money on Apple products now were spending it on Yamaha, Sony, or B&O back then.
Several times recently I have got better results from Bing. Despite knowing the title I couldn't find one of my own threads using Google. With...
No. The Jackal is something eBay showed me when I was looking at something different. I'm not sure if those were ever sold in the U.K. Sony did...
You have to weigh up the cost of the equipment vs the cost of the tools. Technique is probably just as important. As @Cassette2go says take lots...
It was almost like an episode of LGR Thrifts today as we went around Charity shops in Highcliffe, where the average age is "retired", and house...
I have four of the ones in the video MT65, VL1, SK1, and MT400V. The MT400V is the only one I didn't buy in the 1980s.

What is even more impressive is that some of the most complicated mechanisms pre-date Computer Aided Design. For example have a look at this Akai...
I think I have posted this before but thought it might be an idea to repeat it Just read this thread and substitute Boombox or Walkman whenever it...

The whole point of Dolby Noise Reduction (simply referred to as Dolby for most of its life) is to reduce tape hiss....
It works both ways. Your post prompted me to look at the Wikipedia entries for Paul Weller's bands "The Jam" and "The Style Council". In the U.K....
Welcome back. Your collection would be worthy of a a corporation like Sony. In the U.K. people with that sort of money to spend usually buy a...
It can mean that the CD player was designed before CD-Rs left the research labs. I find it incredible that they ever managed to make CD-R work....
Less than £3 each. Those toys make searching for Sound Burgers on Jauce very difficult. I quite fancy a Bluetooth Soundburger to go with my 1980s...
Very few audio adverts recently as it's summer. The Newspaper archive I use shows copies of the Daily Mirror from today's date from random years...
Thanks for resurrecting this thread. I was looking at the "See Japan for £20" advert and "Prince's Trust Rock Gala" had me puzzled for a few...
