I trust your ears, Miles. Too many people have been lulled by factory performance specs only to find in the real world those specs don't translate to a superlative recording or playback performance. Save your hard-earned money and prove the sceptics wrong. That's my philosophy.

That's exactly the reason why I've got 3 of those Sony decks. I like the decks without nonsense features like "CD Direct".....
It's prooven that the Sony's simply do what they must do: recording a good tape.

I'm still pretty amazed by the tape transport of my Akai GX-52; this direct drive mechanism runs VERY stable and VERY silent. The motorized tape loading is also a rare (but nice) feature for a two header like this.
As said before: I really love the looks of it and it's heavy build quality.....

Indeed: DON'T CRUSH... PRESS > ....

Amen!

Miles and I have had some uncanny success in scooping a few deals - although I think he has done better than me in that respect....

Nando.

When I see this on the Bay I must admit your statement:

Ssssh, Miles. Rule #1: If you plan to sell a component at a later date don't reveal how inexpensively you bought it in the first place. But, you aren't planning to sell it, so disregard this rule.

Back to the Eighties!

Thank you Daren!

There were some good old Gerry (Brother Booze) Rafferty tunes spinning on this tape while taking the snapshot of the deck in action.


Not bad at all.

 

[Miracle Mile]

Your Akai GX-52 cassette deck doesn't even look out of place amongst all the Sonys, Miles.....

Nando.

I know, but I've decided to rearrange the complete setup:

Will be busy this evening.....

 

[VintageShadow]

Gosh Miles, your cabling there reminds me of Big Momma's hair..

Sorry, couldn't resist...

 

[Miracle Mile]

Everything in place again.....

Thank god I've used the "Big Momma" cables and not the "Shinnead" ones....

Good to hear, so you worked a lot and you fully deserve that beer..

I deserve just some cocoa milk, because i used Sinead's cabling system...

Back to the bussiness, watching that baldy man on youtube again and it's freakin' awesome...

 

[Miracle Mile]

Baldy Man IS freakin' awesome Sep. Daren knows what to post.

Miles, just wanted to adopt a new hair style for myself...

Miles: It appears the Akai will have a more permanent home in your system, now that you've toasted the newcomer to the rack.

Nando.

Yup! As mentioned earlier: This one will stay for a longer time.

Don't Dente anything, you'll damage the cassette in your truck bed!
