What does the deck go down to?

Shpongle Track "Divine Moments of Truth" had the VU Meters hitting +7db, this Sony XR Metal Cassette can sure take some signal, no audible distortion to my ears whilst monitoring. Nice.

There's a lot going on in that song...

That's a world class low freq spec there.

I'm working on a Video for it with direct sound feed.

That's a world class low freq spec there.

Very high end Nakamichi Deck Owners get pissed when they see these specs. They refuse to believe them. Not many decks would beat this JVC for price/performance ratio. Its a "Sleeper" deck.

Damn D2 - that sounds great. Glad you've been Shpongled! Lee did me in about a year ago and I have most of the CD's now - at least those I found.

I just looked up their vinyl for sale and its very expensive. Would cost me on average $50-$100 per album. Going to check out the CD store tomorrow after work

Can ~ Ege Bamyasi

One of my least favourite Can albums. In fact the (early) CD copy I have sounds so poor that I will either sell it on or freecycle it.
