CD enthusiast who is increasingly falling in love with cassettes as a medium for audiobooks, memos, mixes and hard to find media. As an extension, the hardware is really catching my eye. Looking forward to participating. It's a cool place you've got here.
Welcome, what's the story with your website, I'm just seeing the front page. I'm a big fan of CDs, I'm a gadget person so the old big players are more interesting to me, my collection isn't huge but I've got some early Technics, dbx and a few others out in the shop.
Thanks for the welcome, Mister X. There's not much to the page really. But thanks for stopping by. I used to be really heavily invested in the internet, websites, popular tech, etc. Then a couple years ago--due to personal matters--I started to move away from streaming and a lot of web services. Music means a lot to me, as does audio quality (generally, I'm no snob) and so I started to "refind" radio and discs. Especially the latter because there's a local shop specializing in 1 and 3 dollar used titles (a dream to explore). The site is just a way to share, showcase some album art, be a reference and offer a sandbox for website tinkering (which is a more rarely practiced but long lasting pastime). Right now, I'm running two setups. In the living room, a simple Sony ZSRS60BT pumped to cheap 40wpc Pyle amp underpowering a pair of JBL ES30s. The second setup is more proof of concept for the next apartment: A Teac AD-850 and a Sangean HDT-20, which output through an (again) cheap Pyle headphone amp with some low end Grados. I'm sure I'll find out more as I go deeper in threads but you have a shop? Is that personal or commercial? Very cool either way.
We have a lot of cool audio shops around here, unfortunately one of the best closed last year. They guy had everything and he had a musical background so he knew all of the bands that came out of this area. His records and tapes were cheap, he had thousands so his drive was just to sell volume. My shop is for me, I do a little of everything, cars, audio, woodworking, metalworking and general maintance because I love vintage equipment. Right now I'm working on a 30 year old skid steer, next week I'll be building new kitchen cabinets.
A definite dream. Right now my partner and I are in a NYC apartment, so even having a surface to solder, or do puzzles is hard to come by. As I get more into cassettes and older equipment I think I will, too, need a similar setup. And thanks to you, as well, TooCool4.
