Karen Carpenter on Crown CX 822 Reel to Reel

[@tjstevens001]

She had the most beautiful voice ever!!

[@5thcomm]

You'll get no argument from me, Tim

[@timwoodland3664]

She ROCKS! Such a beautiful, clear, angelic voice. She was an AWESOME drummer too. Such a tragic loss. The mid thru late 70's were very hard for her and her brother Richard. They worked so hard. Rainy Days and Mondays sounds wonderful on your system. That Crown CX 822 is killer! Take care and thank you for sharing!

[@Hwords1]

It sounds great you can't beat that sound from that crown.

Sounds wonderful! Great gift from TOP DOG👌👍

Some of the best sounding Music came from the Carpenters, I really miss this easy listening music that use to be played wall to wall on Radio stations in the 1970's. Sad such music is eschewed today.

[@IrieTicket_1]

Cool looking and sounding great Brother 👍

What more can you ask. And what more can I say. A friggin CROWN❤❤❤❤

[@marcparsons1726]

Had no idea Crown made such a gem! Gave it a listen on a Tube Radio instead of the laptop. Very enjoyable to hear that way! Pretty fitting the radio is a Commodore!

[@5thcomm]

Karen had/has a way of stirring up those emotions, Bruh- I get it. Happy Heavenly Birthday to your Mom.

[@Topdog1954]

Now that is one good-looking Crown. I keep saying the Fidelity can’t be beat. I'm glad you are enjoying it bro and Karen Carpenter sounds amazing.😁

[@5thcomm]

Cant thank you enough, TD

[@ogsan1296]

Bigg Matt you made some changes on the set. I am loving it, my man.

[@hopefultraveller1]

Ah, exquisite! The song takes me back to my early teens - 'Yesterday Once More' used to take me to other planes of existence! Thanks, Matt!

[@5thcomm]

"The Queen of Summing Things Up" strikes again! Always great to hear from you, Sis.

[@jacobehrmann17]

Outstanding. Those records have a dynamic range that few records achieve. And they remind me of being three or four

[@eddieworley3409]

That looks like a beast ,I’m sure it was fun getting it to where it sits now .

[@mbgreen1]

A beautiful machine worthy of a beautiful voice! Some Oscar Peterson would sound great on that too!

[@5thcomm]

I agree.

[@ottodillitzer4591]

Really amazing, awesom, moving my heart

[@5thcomm]

I feel the same, Bruder Otto

[@urbanvoicedmedia9356]

Sounds like a live concert!

[@daroskor]

Gra i wygląda pięknie! Pozdrawiam cię serdecznie bracie. 🤝😃

[@5thcomm]

Dziękuję, Bracie D.S. Zawsze miło jest od Ciebie usłyszeć.

[@fabricegrard1001]

Waou, la "tour" Technics , mon rêve

[@olddodger7178]

Excellent sound! When were these Crown machines produced? The knobs (bakelite?) remind me of military (Navy) equipment.

[@stephensams709]

That is one awesom machine Matt. I tried calling you a couple of hours ago about me bringing my Akai to you. I look forward to getting it repaired.

[@5thcomm]

Great catching up with you, Brother. Looking forward to your visit.

[@CarlosPelao-oo4on]

What optimal maintenance does the Teac A6600 have for proper maintenance of the player? Oh, you have to grease and lubricate some part of the module, thank you, regards, Hello Maureice, I have a question about how to clean the heads of a Teac A6600. Can you make a video about it on the A6600? Is isopropyl alcohol used for cleaning? and how to clean it, thanks a greeting and a good like from a subscriber,,,,,

[@richardadelberg8961]

Wow what clear sound! What kind of tape, speeds, why is crown so much vlearer

[@hobie1dog]

What speakers are you using? Mirage OM-9?

[@5thcomm]

Marty, I was sitting here comfortably, minding my own business when I read your question. Something told me "Matt, don't get up and march your fatass over to the speaker, move all that junk out of the way, stoop down, tilt the speaker over, just so you can read a %^&$'n label that you already knew Marty had identified!!! He can identify ANY piece of stereo equipment at a glance!!! I should have listened:-)
