Absolutely great movie-examples. The Nakamichi 480Z was my first Cassette-Deck of that Brand in my life, after it I got 700ZXL, 1000ZXL (both used) and Dragon (new).

The KZbinr Techmoan has made a couple of videos about the different tape recorders used in the original 1960:s TV-series Mission Impossible. The tape recorders were used to give IMF team leader Jim Phelphs (Peter Graves) his missions. When the tape came to the end, the tape recorder was self destructed in five seconds! Good luck, Jim!😄

Scary. Everyone's an expert, even if they haven't a clue.

A piece of Hi Fi history, many soldiers in Vietnam when they came home brought Japanese components they bought at PXs, etc. Sansui, Akai, etc. It really got Japanese equipment known in US for the age of Japanese stereos! Now considered the golden age of receivers!

Interesting, bit of trivia, when Alex goes to music store there is a top ten list. One of the bands listed is Heaven 17. In the 80's a group took that name for themselves.

High Fidelity, best music film ever!

I have owned two Naks, both are & were great machines. The music clip in 9 1/2 Weeks was Eno's Ambient Music.

Martin Sheen is in the clip as well. I have seen many Crossfield decks for sale, both Akai & before them Roberts. Good to know about that tech!

Risky Business scene with the Phase Linear 7000 (aka Pioneer CT-A1) is a very cool scene with this great cassette deck. Love your channel, thank you.

I got the RX 202e

He gives some good advice and some bad advice. Such as to avoid autoreverse tape decks because of azimuth alignment. Only the cheap decks, under $150.00 sound bad, ALWAYS.

The X-2000 series was indeed the best and last series of R2R from TEAC. Especially the 2-track version X-2000 M with 38cm/s speed is one of the best home R2R devices ever built. I consider myself very lucky to own one of these, which I bought new in 1990.

Capture photo of old stars hifi rig, Frank sinatra, Doris day etc . These are touted to have top hifi in those days. Infact the beach boys got thier inspiration from playing back the rubber soul beatles record on Doris day actress hifi rig. You can try to locate photos of these famous stars hifi rig

A waste of Money !!! Why cause those kef speakers are tweeters to me All system with a High Poweed Amp or Receiver should have 10 inch Woofers or bigger !!!! them 6.5 inch speakers are tweeters in JBL'S and they are Top notch Speakers and the rest are wanna be's

Excuse me do you Work for T-Mobile??????

Super ....more of this please!!!!!!

I used to use my HiFi VHS to record hours of radio broadcasts, then edit and mix them down to cassettes. The quality was amazing.

Thanks for the great new video. Diva is a 1981 French thriller film directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix which you must see and show some credits. Nagra and Nakamichi are the main actors I'm my opinion. Great soundtrack also. But here comes the question. We have tape revival with old tapes and old decks? Where are the new equipment?

Thank you Pet…. Ops, Guido!! 😂😂 Great episode, great idea! Don’t have much to contribute, it’s only to congratulate you! Stay safe! P.S.: BTW, what’s your take on Nakamichi 600 cassette deck?

For reference, my Sony TC-580 sold for $899 in 1972. Adjusted for inflation, that’s about $6000 in today money.

When you quote a frequency curve it would be nice if you could also quote the cut-off dB-down level at which the range cuts off. Otherwise the frequency range is meaningless - especially those ones that specify the cliche 20Hz to 20kHz range.

Vast Night. Good Morning Vietnam. White Noise......

License to drive. 1988 movie with The Two Corey's. Natalie's stereo + The Cadillac car stereo that eats the mix tape.

Yet another one comes to mind. 11.22.63 (Stephen King Tv movie with James Franco in the leading role). Loads of Akai R2R's.

Hi Guido. You do see a lot of great stuff in movies, so this is an awesome idea. Let's have some more of these videos, and with other types of gear as well. I guess it's quite normal for people like us to immediately forget all about the plot and focus on the gear that's being used, or appears in the background, and try to identify it. At least it's normal for me. Just ask my wife, though she won't agree about the normal part, and tends to get pissed when I rewind, freeze the movie, move closer to the screen and starts talking to her about the gear. "I was watching that"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "I know honey, but now it finally started to get interesting". One movie that most definitely comes to mind right away is Guardians of the Galaxy since it started the current tape fetish for a lot of people. I'm actually surprised that it wasn't the first example in this video, and that no one else has mentioned it in the comments so far. There's so many good examples that it almost blocks my brain, but I'll be posting suggestions as I get it sorted out. Stay cool Mate. All the best from Denmark.

Wow, bravo! Knock down! Thanks a lot for your work! And please continue! Спасибо.

hi the last one is about abit not right techmoen need alot on the micro cassette there was home player for the hi-fi just not any good there was a lot of reel to reel tape decks in tv show there's the one in the 1st roger moore this model was made of the usa market place akai 1800ss came out when i get my cam's back i have to make some video's mag film i call it was in one of the parts i have new head blocks for 1 inch film there's alot of formats out there some we just don't know about very good video great you done it i know the way you come over i love i sound very bad i have to use a voice changer i sound like a cold all the time

What about cool speakers in movies like the Gallo Reference in Inspector Gadget live action? I'm wondering where the speakers were in that Pulp Fiction scene....must have been in-walls - LOL

Hello Guido.. The guardians of the galaxy.. How did you miss the first Walkman? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZOkl5t4g7Zlp7csi=jPWSXKGYzBAdXSQi Love your videos.. Thanks! Avi

Hi, you should not skip Il secondo tragico Fantozzi, when Fantozzi covers Conte Semenzara (maybe a Geloso recorder) and Fantozzi subisce ancora, in the scene where Fantozzi covers all the colleagues "absent" from work (Akai db4000 it seems). Not the proper use of a tape recorder, but a specific instrument to create humor Btw, also in Mission: Impossible (old tv series), tape recorders have been used (and in theory destroied at every mission), but also From Russia with love, even if that was a Q design, small recorder is present

Bravo Guido!

For volume 2 add the Akai 1722 ii R2R from the Canadian made movie “The Changeling”. The deck is instrumental in the plot development. The scene (53 mins into the movie) is based around what he hears. The movie is available on KZbin for free. It’s a classic. BTW, another vote for “The Conversation”.

This was really cool and different. kinda seems like your day job got to mingle with your you tube channel.right on man!

One Of my Fav Films with Reel To Reel Tape must Be ABBA The Movie .. in 1977 Cassette was starting to make more use for journalists i'm sure, but using an open reel deck allowed for editing with a razor blade at hand..

Oh no, I need to rectify - cross field alows to send bias without any touch to tape. In standard technologies it is imposible because we need full contact to bias/audio head because audio has to be fully transferred to magnetic particles. .. Bias head in cross field is not wearing and due to it its parameters do not change by friction to tape. Bias fluctuations (increase with every meter of tape movement) is 90% reason of degradation in recording mode and may be corrected by else distancing recording head from tape in play mode, or using separate recorder for reproduction only and often aligning bias. . I think downside of cross fileld may be difficulty to keep precision distance from bias head to tape because tapes are different, they , may be localy deformed while it decides about bias and perfomance . .

I did my own copy of the Clockwork Orange one, but on microcassette: kzbin.infomSY0AYKtgJc?si=zbT0MQSsqwQ1PPE_

Klute, The Warriors, Grosse Pointe Blank, Good Fellas, Walk Hard, The Buddy Holly Story, just too many to list

Hi! I did the same with my Toshiba RT-6035 boombox but it's not working. When i press the record and play buttons no sound comes out from the boombox. Can you help me? Thanks for the answer in advance.

There is also a Sony R2R in Apocalypse Now Harrison Ford is playing a recording on it

Long time ago I created a web dedicated to R2R on movies. If you look carefully, you will see that the tape is not correctly threaded in Akai inside the helicopter in Apocalypse Now!, tape goes directly from supply to take up reel without passing through the heads.

The 1st 1 I can't help hear "Kill the waabbit!" 😅

Check out the rig in the opening scenes of 23 PACES TO BAKER STREET (1956) - a fun CinemaScope mystery thriller about a blind playwright (played by Van Johnson) who dictates his work to tape. P.S. There's a great HD print on KZbin of the full feature for reference.

cool!

New York stories, 1.989 Martín Scorsese's Life lessons, SONY cassette tape deck, with Nick Nolte.

there's another movie "the thing 1982", kurt russell is using a shoebox cassette recorder for dictation, somewhere at 63 minutes in the movie.

Muy bueno Guido!!

Pulp Fiction and Evil Dead all the way. The Conversation is a love letter to audio.

I have an AKAI M9 with transistors not tubes like the M8.
