Geographical Rock Trivia Nando.

When I built my home audio A/V system back in 2017, I bought an Oppo UDP-203. The UDP-205 was just too over-the-top for pricing for my needs in an A/V system. The UDP-203 is in the rack slot below the Sony TC-WR97ES dual-well cassette deck. I, also, use a Pioneer CLD-95 Reference LaserDisc...

I have been fooling around with the compact cassette format since I was 12, or so. The first deck I used to record with was one of those Lloyds portable shoe box player/recorders. I bet it is still socked away in my mom's old storage trunk full of mothballs and her Italian linen. I have lots of...

The Moment Of Truth Nando.

I continue to buy used tape. Recently, I bought a Pioneer PR-101 take-up reel for my Pioneer RT-909, a Maxell MR-10 take-up reel and a Maxell UD 35-180 reel of recorded music - all from the same seller for a great price. The recording was so-so @ 3.75 i.p.s., but not bad selection of tunes. I am...

OMD - Bauhaus Staircase - October 2023 Release Just ordered the vinyl and CD. It is also available in cassette. I listened to snippets of the album on Spotify Premium, today. Track 2 of the album: Nando.

Thanks for your follow-up, Bob. I had never read of anyone else doing the two-pass NR reduction technique, so I thought I would try it. Nando.
