Cheap turntables

I still have a Nakamichi DR-2 Tape Deck and some unused TDK Type IV metal cassette tapes. I remember testing the recording of CDs using this deck and tapes in the early days and, with the correct bias settings, I couldn't tell the difference between original and copy. The deck is still a beauty and although I have only a small collection of cassette recordings, I can't bear to get rid of it.

HiFi? Was that like dial up?

Ah, so you've not had the pleasure of listening to well recorded music through some decent equipment. 'Decent' doesn't have to mean a mortgage job - just careful listening and choosing the right kit for the money you can afford - usually separates. It really does sound wonderful when you hear it done well.


I remember my first time with 'Hi Fi'. My girlfriend, now my wife, was babysitting for a well off couple back in the 70's and they allowed us to use their Hi Fi. I hadn't heard anything like it. I just sat listening and thinking, crikey, so this is what it's supposed to sound like.
