I am weirdly listening to the 1970 Iron Butterfly 'LIVE' album.... i say weirdly as i was just listening to one of the Travelling tapes that was doing the rounds a year or so ago 'EMTEC' ( Electronic Music Themed Eighties Cassette) Recorded on an EMTEC tape of course... Great stuff... The Iron...

I am not sure what to make of this new product from CHORD, it is a new fluid that apparently increases connectivity for your cables... £200 for 10ml ... https://www.whathifi.com/news/chord-...ale+Newsletter My ears and my system would not benefit from this, however some of you wonderful...

Hi Nando, I do like those B&O TTs...a lot, i had one gifted to me and it would not work! I tried everything, but alas nothing did the trick, i think that the logic board was kaput... shame... But i did 'discover' B&O as a brand and that in turn led me to building up the B&O system that Mrs PC...

I only have one linear tracking TT, and have had it for a while, the Bang & Olufsen 5000 series... really nice unit...but the carts are hard to source, and very expensive to buy... but it has full remote control operation, lovely sound and for something that is approaching 40 years of age, is a...

Quality stuff! And may his soul rest in peace... You cannot have any disco mix without a little taster of Boney M!! It simply isn't cricket.... or the 70's Proper funk mix is being prepared for you...minus the Boney M of course!! Ha! PC

Mrs PC hates Eddie Murphy.... But i have always liked him, from Beverly Hills cop, Trading Places....onwards, Good tip, i will look this one up! Thanks Nando... Oh Bugs Life is on its way.... I am doing a special limited Funk mix for yourself and one other.... maybe two others... I have a LOT...

HMV (UK) Have some great offers at the moment on Vinyl....you have to dig around the website though! I just picked up a copy of the Abbey Road Half Speed Remastered Police 'Ghost In The Machine' Vinyl LP for 17.99 GBP - which is almost half listed price! HMV were saved from closure by Sunrise...

Ha! And what an excellent light show to go with that tune... :-) Great stuff Nando... @ Miles - if you can 'Miles' some DISCO tunes.... that would be something else! But you would need to include some Boney M..... just to make it right!! PC

If you like the sound of someone using plastic pipes as instruments, i cannot recommend 'Blue Man Group' highly enough!! PC! ( Something completely different!!)

Bonnie is something a bit like Marmite! Mrs PC does not like either.... Outback is much more easy on the ears.... However i really do like 'Morning Dew' which is an anti nuclear war song by Bonnie Dobson..... I am glad that you like one of them! :-)

Whilst i am online Have you peeps heard 'OUTBACK' ? Different and enjoyable for a small band! This is termed world music, i saw them live in the 80's at a free music festival in Bristol ( Aston Court ) - I purchased the cassette there and then... PC

Oddly enough i only discovered Pentangle fairly recently. I was looking for a band called 'OUTBACK' from the 80s... and picked up 'PENTANGLING by PENTANGLE' at the same time.... i like them.... and folk is not my usual thing...most be getting more mellow as i age! I also like Bonnie Dobson!

I can see the future when my offspring have to dig through my stash, scratch their heads and give it to charity!! I am educating them every time they visit.... Nice collection of goodies, what are the non Phase Linear items? I might understand what those are, we do not seem to have that brand...

Thank's everyone! The 21st Century is a strange place.... I have been exposed to something called a FLAC recently......:oops: But that is a completely different topic! @Miles - I can take it.....Honestly .... :D

Tascam made some excellent items, they just got missed from my radar...... If i knew then what i know now, there would be a number of Tascam items in my fold! Too late now..... i am in too deep with Sony DAT, Nak and Pioneer..... And i have no more power points / extension leads left! PC

I hope that the concert is going to be good, Mrs PC and myself are going to see them in June....Looking forward to it, I haven't seen them before...

Hi Glantoir, And very nice are the recordings from it! PC

Hi Nando, That Fostex looks like a really nice machine, and a great price ( If it works ) and your 8 track Hi8 machine is something that i have never heard of...looks very intriguing indeed, and Hi8 tapes are cheap! Long play! I had only just noticed that on the function panel after you...

All good responses, I actually quite like the format, to me it bridges the gap between tape ( Great ) and the underworld ( Digital) ... Seriously i find it quite a forgiving format, and really useful for mastering a mix tape before copying back to normal cassette. As per WOPL's comments, the...

As per the title, do you have a favourite DAT machine? And why is it your favourite? I have a couple of DAT Machines, and my favourite was always the Sony DTC-1000ES, Why ? Because it looks nice, it handles tapes nicely and is easy to use...oh and it is very well built. I also have a Fostex D5...
