I'm not surprised to find my member name moderated by mister TapeNuts himself after a half year... Funny to notice he needed almost six months to discover this... Fuckin' idiot. Life goes on. :wave:

Today I found back the demo recordings which I did some time ago with one of my custom build steeltongues.. Click the link below to listen: https://vocaroo.com/f3gXF9YD5uI (Steeltongue recorded with the handheld Sony PCM-M10...)

Today I've ordered a pair of these just out of curiousity: They reminds me somehow of the good old Sony MDR-V900's I've owned for years: There is a huge difference however.... The pair I've just ordered will just cost only €19,-!!! ($21,27...) I'm always curious about "bargains" like...

Got tired of Michael Bolton.. So here's the new face for 2016. :iconbiggrin:

I've decided to move over all the WOPL pictures to a new place in this house, because I really think they deserve a place of it's own...

This year is nearly at it's end and I was wondering what for all of you was the best realease of 2014. I will kick of with mine, and it will be no surprise the latest Pink Floyd wasn't the ultimate one for me. My choice: The Ghost Of Pripyat by Steve Rothery.

As you wish guys: Here are some very first impressions without doing anything on it, no cleaning or whatever, I only lifted the bonnet of this rarity: Not a high-end deck, but I must conclude I've seen worser over the last two years and there's not a single scratch on it, so I will...

Found another TEAC Monster, and guess what: A defective capstanmotor.... I have a spare Mabuchi motor that fits into this one, so this will be a piece of cake again. :evil4:

This weekend I picked up a wonderfull and very exclusive Class A high end amplifier that survived a fire..... This Duson amp was hand build by a small factory in the Netherlands till 2001, and this one will be restored to new in the next few weeks. After taking away the cover this showed...

Between all the well build High-End decks that are shown on this forum lately I thought it would be fun to take a closer look at an "El Cheapo" version of the famous Sony's build in the "Heydays" of cassettedecks..... The TC-FX330 from 1986: High performance technology and first class...

This morning a gift from Dazen1 arrived! One of my favourite TDK tapes.....:thumbup: I owe you one Daren!

So, today we've got something new on the bench: An AKAI GX-52 two header from 1989.... Although maybe not a high-end deck, it's probably (in my opinion) one of the nicest looking two-head decks ever, easy to service and build like a tank! It only needs some good cleaning, no belt...

I was searching for this one a LONG time, and today I picked it up for a very reasonable price: This version in silver finish is very, very hard to find, and completely NEW! So..... "And then there were three"...... @Daren: +1!!!!!!

Perhaps not a Sansui receiver Nando, but I found this heavy monster last wednesday: It is in pristine condition, it only needs a new capstan belt which I ordered today. This deck is nicely built, and it's a piece of cake to disassemble it. Didn't had the time to take some decent pictures of...

This afternoon I found this nice sweetie in a thriftstore for an affordable price: Although a bit dusty, it works flawlessly and is in mint condition. No scratches on the frontpanel and no damage on the wooden top of it! This Sweetie from 1974 is on the bench right now and I just replaced...

On request by several members in here I've started a new thread about my adventures with headphones. Feel free to join in with your expierences of any kind related to headphones and have fun! Let's kick off with some pics........

This afternoon I've played two versions of this classic album: As a "digital dissident" I started with the Hybrid SACD version, but the LP version sounded nicer this time...... This weekend I've lost a dear friend who loved this album so much, and he was also the one who gave me the 412...

Philips..... Found this almost 37 years old turntable yesterday for an incredible bottom price: The 401 cartridge will be replaced by the better 412 this weekend. This is just ultimate vinyl fun for absolute NO money......

Last week it was the 50th birthday of the compact cassette..... 30-09-1963 / 30-09-2013 .....

I can't start this thread without mentioning our friend Daren from Great Britain (formely known as Dazen1 on Tapeheads), and it reminds me of the "dissidents thread" which was tremendous fun! What we have here is my latest tool: (and look what happened in all those years......) A Sony...
