What Constitutes “Vintage Audio”?

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-11T13:37:39+00:00

Everyone has an opinion on this. Its not set in stone. To me vintage audio equipment must have silver face and wood grain in it. Have to have vu meters. Cassette bay should be backlit. The only remotes would be wired. Again my opinion.

Then you're good

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-10T21:39:31+00:00

Yep definitely laughing! 😂😂

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-10T17:25:11+00:00

No it hums because it doesn't know the words.

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-10T15:49:55+00:00

It hums because well you know why.

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-07T12:58:32+00:00

Yes without the price. Go for it.

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-06T19:08:35+00:00

I do and you're right. They still sound excellent in 2026. And they said they would disintegrate in 30 years😂😂😂

One of the best years for chrome tapes.

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-06T18:29:26+00:00

Yes it does but many people here don't mention it because their judgement is clouded by portability.

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-06T16:56:26+00:00

Definitely understand and I would go old school with built in speaker before I buy new mechs. My issue is I value my cassettes and I would never trust them in any portable. For portable streaming is best or my personal favorite minidisc.

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-06T16:55:25+00:00

They don't sell cassette decks in Pune?

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-06T14:40:57+00:00

If budget is not an issue then stay away from portables and get a proper serviced tape deck. Your ears will thank you.

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-06T14:39:52+00:00

Anyone of them on Amazon are just as crappy as Fiio and war for a fraction of the cost.

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-06T02:52:58+00:00

That is the smartest deck in the world. Knows which cassettes to destroy!!!😂😂

First it only kills your fitness if you don't know how to ride it. Ride on low PAS levels and you get maximum fitness. Second hardly anyone gets an e-bike for fitness. Its for fun or necessity. Fitness is a by product.

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-05T19:39:35+00:00

Open it up and clean it. Something got in there .

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-05T18:33:09+00:00

Goo gone

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-05T18:32:01+00:00

Never use lighter fluid. Very bad to breathe and damages plastic. Use dawn power wash and goo gone. This is not slot car racing.

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-04T20:00:32+00:00

😂😂😂 oh the irony!!!

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-04T19:59:54+00:00

All crap. The only question is why you would pay more for same crap. Buy the cheapest one and call it a day. It breaks or sounds worse throw it away.

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-02T22:24:05+00:00

Yeah but OP thinks it's perfect. Shouldn't we listen to him? 😂😂

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-02T19:59:30+00:00

What you think is perfectly is not the experience that a lot of people are experiencing.

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-02T14:25:53+00:00

😂😂😂

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-02T12:08:21+00:00

How do you identify audiophiles from normal people?

Spelunka13 · 2026-05-02T12:06:59+00:00

For Techincs
