Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Nice find.
I have a couple of mid-level Nakamichi cassette decks: a BX-2 and a BX-125E. No longer use them, as I don't listen to, or record onto, cassette anymore.

Their amps and receivers were really good too. We sold lots of the Amp 2 I remember. Big and ballsy, rather than squeaky like a Cyrus 2 could be...

I love those early/mid 80's tape decks. All flourescent displays and millions of buttons. :-) I had an Aiwa (couldn't afford a Nak) and it was a thing of beauty. One like this:
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=19...7fs1eEdP6hM%3A
It did a funky tape calibration thing. Well impressive, even if the results were not always obvious.
I always wanted a reel to reel but that was well out of my price range then. I remember drooling on the windows in Tottenham court road. And actually there were some hifi shops there too.
Later on I went for DAT and that was good while the heads lasted. But you can't beat the sound of the old 80's cassette deck. I still have a Teac which works fine but need to go and get those tapes out and have a listen. Lots of lost treasures of the 1980's pop on there.

supposed to be quite good those Aiwas, or at least the 770. I've got a AD3800 though I've a feeling it started chewing tapes so needs a fettle.

I have over 200 tapes I made for the car; mostly copies of CD and LPs I had, as well as some stuff recorded from the radio (Radio 3's 'Late Junction'). However I don't listen to them anymore. Perhaps I should dig them out and give them a whirl.
