I picked up a Nakamichi BX-300 on ePay today. I could not resist it was so clean, with the original manual, packaging and box. I had the seller...
Thank you. I picked it because I understand that the GX heads are very hard to wear out, and I'm glad I did, it sounds wonderful.
I'm not sure if there's one already going, but it would be nice to see what everybody's running with their cassette gear.
I just picked up a couple of BASF chrome extra II cassettes on the recommendation of a tech on YouTube. Not expensive at $10 a blank for the 90...
Nando; That is some beautiful looking gear, and it was pretty much the same here where I live, and most of the manufacturers were always chasing...
Understood, every comparison that I've ever heard the nod always goes to the NOS tape. On YouTube I mean, some of them are pretty obvious which...
I hope you're getting your problem straightened out. Can anyone recommend a good all-around test tape? I have two WM-6C walkmans, one is the...
Has anyone had any luck with the new tapes that are out? Not very much love for the couple that are on the market now.
Do you find that the TDK type iv that you posted are as good as the Maxell type iv or possibly better? Possibly more high-end extension?
That's awesome, I will have to try a couple of the other brands of metal type iv. It's not that the Sony's weren't good, they just were not easy...
I have some metal tapes also, but they are more money and I did not care for the Sony metal-SR tapes, and it was a little funky trying to get them...
I'll kill two birds with one stone on this one, this is my new pioneer SX 1980 receiver, complete with the delta 9 power supply PCB from Canada,...
Minty fairly early Sony WM-6C Walkman with the pointy head. I have no idea of the history of it, and although it sounds good and Records good I...
Thanks for the article, and I never really heard of this brand of cassette tape. After looking at the prices on the auction site, I won't be...
Good for you! Nothing like the 70s receivers in my opinion, they were all on top of their game trying to outdo each other.
I also have a Marantz 2385 that's in for service right now. That was not one of my better buys, and when it arrived the sound was unbalanced....
Shes a beauty Nando! That's a beautiful pioneer r2r also. Yes most vintage gear is very high priced right now, some almost insane prices.
Hi Nando thanks for the welcome. Yes that's the pioneer SX–1980 recently refurbished, and just sounds great. I have quite a few vintage...
The listening thing is definitely a little creepy, and I turned hey Siri off on my idevices.
Thanks guys.
