Ok back to the HiFi ain't one of you old pharts going to post a picture of your beloved 16 track Teac reel to reel tape deck. If not I may have to drag the 1980 Teac A601R IRC out of the basement into the garage and pop in a cassette into this auto reverse machine. Still probably better than that MP shite. 79 Onkyo A70 amp that survived college, turntable, Yamaha cd player, and other stuff abandoned in a closet, because I was a family man now, and isolating and listening to music was just not politically correct. She pyscho now. So WTH
What is that on the bbq i need the 411 on it over here we wrap bacon around A jalapeno pepper and grill
Just completed another hobo stove... a twig burning “gasification” job, using one of the 1 litre beer cans I had last week!
Yes, that was the $650 MSRP, but I was a part time shipping clerk for a electronic distributor and got it at cost, less than $325 IRC in 80.
Ha, nice one. That still equates to around $1500 today so not a cheap bit of kit. Top end open reel machines are generally considered to be the creme-de-la-creme but they are an even bigger pain in the arse than vinyl !! I do have a rather nice CD player for when I can't be arsed with the records. It's a 1988 SONY CDP-X779es that I got free as the laser was dead. That's usually the end of the line for these but I found a guy in Germany who could repair it and he did so for around £300. Equivalent price today would be around £6k.
My good stereo gear is in my “recording studio”... (read :- box room, computer room and in house getaway... Nad amp and CD player to some Wharfdale diamonds) but my garage holds my second separates set-up... Hitachi amp and Technics player mounted below desk... roof mounted Jamo’s cos I don’t have floor space!!!
Loved that @DCS222, messages were heartfelt and encouraging. Mrs Dartplayer said you guys sounded great too
