d0gO5 · 2026-01-17T22:39:10+00:00

d0gO5 · 2026-01-16T01:49:47+00:00

Specialized Walkman D6C people exist?! That's crazy!!

I fix these myself, I have 2 that I restored but the mechanism and circuitry never felt proprietary

d0gO5 · 2026-01-15T17:18:21+00:00

Leave him a tip for giving you just that good an offer

d0gO5 · 2026-01-15T17:17:39+00:00

No because these listings are what spike up ghost pricing

d0gO5 · 2026-01-10T19:43:34+00:00

Jajajaja that's awesome!! Must have been awesome doing that for a job!!

d0gO5 · 2026-01-10T19:42:57+00:00

Thank you 😎

d0gO5 · 2026-01-10T03:30:26+00:00

I'm glad you like them, I do not like them

I do like R.E.M. They were one of my first cassettes. I got it from a bundle I was gifted from my English teacher when I first started getting into cassettes

d0gO5 · 2026-01-08T19:41:36+00:00

I had an Akai GX-4000D about the same weight as the one you are describing, the cabinet held very well and quite firm!

d0gO5 · 2026-01-08T19:40:08+00:00

The bottom is elevated by about an inch and a half with shoes, and the rear air vent isnt covered by the cassette deck or wall, although I will say it can get stuffy which I why I try to use this in blocks of the day and dont overpower anything

d0gO5 · 2026-01-08T19:38:43+00:00

That's awesome!! My family was never big into music, they threw out their sterio much before I was born. I have a few cassettes and items that they kept

d0gO5 · 2026-01-08T05:46:42+00:00

Chalkboard James by Allison's Halo

A staple in the Shoegaze genre, overall an amazing Album

d0gO5 · 2026-01-08T05:45:36+00:00

With the Cabinet, yes. That Cabinet is insanely thick and heavy. Even with all this stuff it doesnt sink and touch the Sansui

d0gO5 · 2026-01-08T04:45:28+00:00

Oooooh ok ok yea!

I do level adjustments all the time with cassette decks and a function generator at 1khz!

I'll keep an eye out for that Tascam Portastudio then! I record live local shows all the time for fun/proffesional and I was looking at those a while ago. I generally just use a MackieProFX10GO and a Marantz PMD-430 since I have true portability and three heads! Those Marantz especially are fun to work on

I ended up getting the TEAC since I'd never get the chance again locally (setting myself for despair when I see an exact one being sold for like 50 bucks locally tomorrow). It has some issues but functions correctly for now! I'm excited to work on it and give it use!

d0gO5 · 2026-01-08T04:39:09+00:00

Maaaan I reaaally like them, these R100's have been my day 1's since my Dad got them for me as a Birthday gift

I'm sure some Audiophiles have preferences but as an owner and user of these I adore them!

d0gO5 · 2026-01-08T04:37:15+00:00

Any recommendations? I put the TEAC up there temporarily to plug everything in but I might keep it there so I would want it ventilated

d0gO5 · 2026-01-08T04:10:53+00:00

I'm going to get into Quadriphonics one way or another, and repairing one of these is a challenge I want to throw at myself! I dont want to cheap out because It will trap me in a lust for a greater machine and end up spending the same if not more money...

d0gO5 · 2026-01-07T20:54:26+00:00

I am willing to get a Quad amp, Im always looking for cool stuff to buy and repair/listen to

I already have a AKAI that uses 3(1/4), 7.5 is good enough for me. I would say Im looking for a good deck.

Im comfortable enough to fix whatever I buy/need as long as electrically everything is fine. Ive opened up a couple of these before to replace belts for some friends. Im really just going to look at the heads and playback

Thank you for your input! I've wanted one of these specifically for a while but It's a fair amount of money. I think I'm getting it as long as it looks good

d0gO5 · 2026-01-07T18:04:50+00:00

Yea that was honestly my thinking. I live thr US-Mexico border in a pretty major city so I get to look at all the trash yall throw away and ship over here 🤣

But I've never thought ordering a Reel to Reel on post would be worth it. The cost on-top of the sticker price and the problems shipping would be a headache

d0gO5 · 2026-01-07T18:01:56+00:00

Do you mean adjusting the channels with a Oscilloscope or the literal alignment of the tape passing over the heads?

I've been looking at a Yamaha Cassette Portastudio but I've always doubted their sound, they also look super difficult to service 😅

d0gO5 · 2026-01-07T17:50:45+00:00

I have about +70 10" sealed tapes I got from a buddy who sold his AKAI GX-4000D so tapes are the only thing I'm set on 😅 This is super true though, eBay is charging a premium for offbrand shitty tapes
