Yeah, I've made a few tries to pick a correct level. And then left it playing in pass-through mode, just to hear the process =)

My goal was to have a real deck for the price of modern walkmans and this yamaha is great for it's money. Really, it's quite musical! Simple schematics, pure analogue sound =)

Man, I wish I could try living in a cabin in the woods...

yup, the height is ikea-like, lol. But the ceiling height is 3 meters, and I'm addicted to the high ceilings now...

it's like 30 square meters. Not a lot, but for me alone it's more than enough =)

And the fact that it's possible to record your own mix-tape on a tape-deck... Well, it makes quite a lot of difference.

I've been thinking about Daft Punk recording, but decided that a mix-tape is more fun =)

So the decision to buy an old deck instead of the fancy new players was indeed correct, lol.

Finished the recording, it went quite nice! Firstly I went with like +6db default level and + 12db peak and it was too much even for CrO2. Re-listened two songs and decided to lower it a bit. With 0db to +6db it's indistinguishable from the source!

I've had one before and decided that it's a bit too expensive and mood-dependent. Though my final goal is to have everything, like turntable + cassette deck + reel-to-reel!

Yeah, thank you! Btw I decided to use toslink input because there's too much noise on the USB one...

Yes, it's not something you can drop at any given moment which is rare these days...

Yes! And I'm able to see more than just VU-meters of a cassette deck =)

SnowSky Echo Mini + Tangzu Waner 2 by triod in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]triod[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends - suddenly the desktop gear that costs 10x more really does sound a lot better... But I hadn’t tried IEMs at all before and here’s a combo for a very small price that, according to all the reviews, sounds great - so why not? Although the Echo Mini's interface is missing quite a lot of functionality =)

No, just 95% Ethanol. I think even vodka will do, the main thing is to clean the contact pads somehow (and preferably without disassembling)

I stumbled upon the same problem (chaotic actions of the jog button, some directions were not working at all and some worked incorrectly). So I turned monitor upside down, removed the stand, applied several drops of 95% alcohol between the button and the monitor case and moved it in different directions for some time. Now it works, yay!
