That cable you were asking about is for an additional storage device to be connected to the PC.

I want to be able to record too

I have a yamaha receiver with only one tape input but I have to tape decks. I have a rca switcher box but Im not quite sure how to connect it. HELP

I have a yamaha receiver and an audio switcher. How do I connect 2 cassette decks?

Unfortunately I have to unsubscribe from you, because your AI-generated Shorts are clogging up my Subscriptions feed, and KZbin just took away the ability to hide them.

yes , have heard of RIAA curve i used a crystal cartridge on the aux of a receiver not equipped with special eq but it sounded fine

I Found in Portugal in 2019 brand new Chinese type ii tapes they sounded actually pretty good, worked very well with Dolby S. They were about €2 each

But is it better/nicer than your current teac, or the aiwa? I suppose you could buy a very nice AT-LP140 for that these days. But missing stuff, ask the kids.....

Definitely can hear it. I always do test recordings to make sure the bias control is working properly on a used deck

Hi so I plugged into from my Samsung phone into the cassette deck I can see its recording as the sound levels on the cassettee deck show the lines up and down so it must be recording but when I rewind the tape and play it there is no sound ?? how is that ?

Hello Mr Gray, I’m having a little problem. You see, I recently bought a marantz sd221 stereo cassette deck at my local thrift store. Works perfectly so I’m in the search to find an amplifier to be able to connect it to speakers. Problem is that the tape deck has a red and black RCA cables attached to it and all the amplifiers I’ve searched have red and white RCA inputs. I wanted to ask if you have any affordable amplifiers recommendations for tape decks with red and black RCA for both line in and line out? Thank you

Well said!

Can it go in both directions? I.e. android to usb-c to usb to rca out?

even £50 for a cartridge is steep imo...

No, thank YOU!

Congrats mate 😂

Nice film

Hi Gary , I have TEAC W-1200 now about 6 months old. I recorded about 70 tapes now, so 60 and 90 minutes. My total play time incl recording now is like 90 hours, so 45 hours per Deck. I see some dust traces on the heads, so I bought IPA alcohol to clean, and demiwater for the rollers. This arrives tomorrow so then I will clean. My question is, do I need to demagnetize already? I dont have issues with sound quality. It sounds a bit tricky when doing wrong. Br, Ralph

of all the records I own, only the thin ones are warped. And even putting a centre weight on them doesn't eliminate the warping when playing. So I do prefer a bit heavier quality. Tyres have carbon black added to them to reduce wear, it might also help with vynil, who knows...

Don't think I ever used them to boil a full litre, usually just enough for 1 cup of tea or (shock horror) freeze dried coffee for the wife. It's certainly faster than making a cup of coffee for me with the Bialetti on the gas stove.

Nice content in your channel you got my sub 👍

Minor rant - the cost is manufactured and used against us when you 'plug into the AC'... - so it's a jilted study based on how the controllers of the 'utilities' scam us with our inherint resources like electricity , fuel, and now in Canada , "carbon" tax which is a deadly scam against all life forms - but the sheeple fall in line and are paying this tax blindly and obediently. I"m not sure if you're a God fearing man Gary - but we were given our resources to use not abuse , not to pay for them with money during our life. We are all supposed to have the ability to build and maintain our own houses , on our own property for our own family but this is almost non existant in 2024 unless your family has kept the old homestead so to speak. Oh and by the way Gary .. If I boil water, I put it on the natural gas flame on the stove. Natural gas, (like abiotic oil) runs under us in almost infinite supply like water does as well... again another scam the controllers have said it's 'fossil fuel' which is a lie - to make it sound like it's a scarce commodity but you cap up a 'dead' oil station and come back later - it will be full in time. Water is another topic of course..

I bought name brand pro audio cable and connectors and made my own high quality hifi cables for very little money.

That’s why I’ve worked so hard to collect as many Led Zeppelin concerts (okay, I admit - they’re bootlegs) on CD as possible. You can stream just about all of them here on KZbin, but one day Atlantic Records will wise up and take them all down in an attempt to create their own paid service to stream them. But I’ll already own a lot of them! Same thing with Pink Floyd and Cream and Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac. One day they’ll all disappear.

Where's the ZDR (Zero Distortion Rule)?

Is the amplifier made in Japan ?

I use a Yamaha Natural sound amplifer unit from 1982 and it's super nice and powerful. 1/4th as powerful as this amp but good for the speakers I'm driving it with. Just as the name implies 'natural sound' it is very neutral to my ears. I got it very cheap as the phono stage has an issue so I simply disconnected it , was planning on fixing the phono stage but I never got around to it and that's fine since I use my CROWN IC150 as my phono stage.

I can only say this. My technics direct drive turntable is rock solid in speed and W&F (on clean power, not so much when solar panels are providing current), but my belt drive turntable isn't. it lacks a strobe and easy speed adjustment.

Nowhere near enough power for their NS-5000 speakers.

I have two brand new cassettes that squeak and I know it’s not my player. I have tried the “tapping method” like one is packing cigarettes, and also fast forwarding and rewinding a bunch to loosen reels. No luck. Would this help with that, or any other advice? Thank you

You don't get it for free, but I find Yamaha stuff is always worth looking at when you want or need some hifi stuff. I have no complaints about anything Yamaha I own. The lower range stuff is very good aswell.

Thanks for a long form, on Yamaha nonetheless! Damn expensive.. It’s amazing I couldn’t figure out if it was a new thing or not as they have similar models from the past that’s aren’t cheap either. They way they lay out the manuals is pretty cookie cutter and simple lay outs the have used for many years now. That lay out is nice as it’s very straightforward (mostly) so all the manuals I have for their stuff has a familiar feel to it. Of all my kit stuff I think Yamaha stands up to time, it all still functions with little to no maintenance or fuss 30+ yrs no issues.. cheers nice vid sir ❤

Will this also work on true chromes that can’t be calibrated because they’ve deteriorated? I have a couple BASF and SKC-made Scotch true chromes that don’t seem to calibrate on my Sony deck because of their age.

You’ve got a relaxing voice for reviews good stuff

Hi I'm trying to record a mixtape on my denonn drm 700 from vinyl and my phone using my tenics amp but every time I play a record through the source it sounds fine and the balance levels are fine but when I monitor the tape as its recorded the left channel stops unless I pan nearly completely to the left and have the input level to max which just creates distortion could you help me fix it many thanks

There will always be negative keep up the great work 💪
