This is too ambiguous.
I picked up a pair a month ago at the sale price. Very pleased. They are in a 12x15 foot space. The veneer is nicely done, they sound fantastic. Very balanced, the included stands work well in my listening area. Got them from Crutchfield, they are, like, quadruple boxed.
So should I let you know when it ships?
HA! Nice! Just post a photo once you’ve got it hooked up and pumping.
A handful. Looking forward to having more.
The nice thing about tapes vs. records is it feels like record hunting in the late 00s early 10s not much is reissued in the format and the stuff that is is usually really affordable . You can find super cheap original cassettes and don’t mind taking a flyer on something because the risk is negligible.
I was just reading up on the ins and outs. Seems like a bottle of isopropyl and some q-tips are in order.
Yeah, it’s a different vibe (in a good way) the time frame that tapes were the dominant form of media was only for like 10 years from the mid 80s to the mid 90s. Which is a good time for me since I love early 90s music and lots of stuff hasn’t ever been reissued though obviously more and more is coming out every year but like I don’t mind dropping $4 on a Collective Soul or Candlebox tape that I would never pay $40 for a deluxe reissue. There were also, plenty of reissues of classic rock stuff too and it takes up a fraction of the space.
I need some more 90's alt, but I don't feel like I've had good luck with vinyl reissues.
These VU meters look like they were taken from 90s anime.
Take me back to the days of walking out of a used record store with like five records for $20 that now go for like $20 a pop.
Yup. I appreciate how much great music is being pressed on wax at a high quality now but I do miss the simpler times and cassette tapes scratch that itch.
I was in community college in 2007 and the walk from school to my parking garage walked right by a shop where I bought shit like The Smiths, Robert Johnson, Violent Femmes, etc for $5 or less. I had to purge a bunch of my collection years back and re-buying things I know I spent like a cup of coffee on is depressing.
Sharpie marker and a stop watch.
I currently have two, Turntable Speed and RPM. The RPM app must have been a trial one because now it just says that I have to upgrade if I want to use it. Both seem to work fairly well, but who can really say? Hudson Hi-Fi makes a platter mat that's a stroboscopic disc, and that can be pretty useful. (Should have mentioned that the mat has an alignment protractor on the other [non-stroboscopic] side.)
