    Sleepy Joe

    When somebody introduces the President of Ukraine as 'President Putin' you can hardly blame that on a speech impediment. It's basically brain fog and an inexcusable and indefatigable capacity for fucking up the facts on a constant basis! 'Pity' and 'sympathy' shouldn't be anywhere near, letalone...

    Shelly Duvall has died

    Sad. I was only recently watching an interview she did with Barry 'normal' Norman. She seemed to have a very level head on her shoulders at such a young age. It's a shame that 'normal' had to quip 'and incidentally she does look like Olive Oil doesn't she?' at the end of the clip. What an...

    Rude, condescending, abrasive.

    Which one are you? I know I can certainly be quite adept at all of those character traits, but it now goes some way to explaining the mass migration away from 'that' other forum. At least now I know which mod has been warning me so many times for being condescending. So it must be true. :D Link

    Cassette lovers; why?

    Put it this way; I have one and use it as a good starting point when calibrating/refurbing decks, especially if the head/s have to come out for any reason. The Chinesium ones are useless in my experience. I bought one and we put it on a height table and measured 8 points over the surface. The...

    Cassette lovers; why?

    I recently went through a process of exploring the possibility of having a batch of the IT-M300 gauge replicated to equal or better than the original spec. (1/100mm tolerances for flatness, perpendicularity etc) RFQ's were sent out to multiple machine shops but nothing materialised...

    Another little haul. 10x Sony Metal XR C100 '89 era, €100. Look and feel brand new. Not written on. No scratches or fingerprints. All stickers present/complete. Just 3 have been recorded to - sounds like some Dutch school lesson or something. The best way to get into TypeIV recording is by...

    At least Trump, for all his obvious caveats, is at least coherent and can answer a question without losing himself in a fog of confusion unlike Joe; 'yeah, we were there and won the war where I was the first black female vice president. Sorry what was the question?' lol Trump tho. The best of...

    Cassette lovers; why?

    I have to ask myself why again sometimes when I spontaneously go buying NOS cassettes like these. 100 European Euros bought me this pack of 10x C100 Fuji JP-IIxPRO's. They're rare to find in C100 fomat here. Even rarer to find them in a half-opened box. Fortunately they don't smell musty. Now...

    Suggesting that we have a 'fetish for outdated equipment' is marginally offensive but no worries - you're Dutch, which means being direct and/or offensive is the rules. No offense taken on my part. I live in NL, so I'm used to people here being direct and offensive! :D

    Bench power supply suggestions plz

    I decided to just keep the Metrix and stick it at the bottom of the test gear stack. The choice and variety of PS's is quite overwhelming and I can't really afford the time to research the sh!t out of something so trivial. I might do a tear down to check the components anyway, which means I can...

    I think you're missing the point entirely. For myself, and quite possibly many/all others who are into tape find it irrelevant that it's an 'inferior' format. Of course it's inferior when compared to the digital domain. It's obvious and an absolute given. However, the nostalgia, tactility and an...
