That's were good IMO. They were an imprint of Taiyo Yuden who's archive CD's were the toast of Deadheads and live show traders for years :)
My preferred weapon of choice for feeding the tape deck. :)

Quality consistency was pretty variable, though, in my experience.Quote:

'Thats' came onto the tape market quite late, if I remember, where tape formulation quality was already on the decline, compared to the heyday of the late 70s/early 80s, where some of the stuff from TDK, for example, was truly exceptional...
Marco.
Aye. Nothing compares to my NOS Maxell XL I high output cobalt formulation sometimes tagged Type III, but really a hybrid Type I / Type II which gives metal like performance but with a slightly less hard edged sound versus Type IV - quite a rare gem, IMO.
I always liked BASF chrome and found it worked better than metal on my Marantz portable deck. That was my primary source when I worked out in Germany for a while, I still have it somewhere.
...their SA Chromes were very good IMHO :)Quote:

Over on the VE one guy said this ...
The most ugly and ridicolous version of the 1200 is the 1210m5g...those ultra bright blue leds,the +-20% pitch control (!?!),the 0-7g antiskating control and the anti-skip device on the tonearm for the scratch dj...not to mention the cheesy finish.It really seems a toy for kids and puts a shadow on the real sl1200 wich is a great piece of engineering wich has a great and classic look.
Blimey, that's already nearly 2.5k and several days top go yet. But they are only bling. :no:

That's one of the fuglyest things I've ever seen :vomfest:
The gold Techies were originally around £995 new. They could be had trade for about £750.
Should appeal to gangstas and pimps. :lol:
Um, I rather like them in a "they're so bad they're good" kind of way... :oQuote:

I expect he will make a reasonable return on his investment.
Thing is to get the best out of a techie you need to mod it, so not worth it for me. Now if you're looking for OTT prices check this out http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TDK-MA-R-C60-M...item255ff849da Andre sent it to me
:eek: :DQuote:

Economy post. Not even descent enough to put a first post stamp on it.
Potential bargain Technics SL-1500 turntable for those who want the Techie DD experience but don't want to go the whole hog (and upgrade temptations) of the 1210!
(Should go for around £90 - last one went for £77 - these must be a serious bargain for anyone wanting to give vinyl a try for the first time, or resurrect their vinyl interest...)
Even with shipping these represent at least a 50% saving over new. :)

Ooooh i'd love them, real transmission lines :)Quote:

Its all rather academic, as I cant aford them anyway. :)
Agreed, in the way of speakers i'd rather build my own when it comes down to it :lol: Still, it's nice to dream what if...Quote:

Remarkably good photos. :)
I'm a photographer by trade. Sunlight, a Zeiss macro, and a sturdy tripod is all it takes...
Ah OK.........I see. Not really, no.Quote:

Hey Andre,
That pair of Fassets has turned up again...........with a shiny new price!!!!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tandberg-faset...ht_4374wt_1139
.........and according to the advert, they're reel to reel speakers (maybe they've been taped together).
This'll be right up Andre's street too, I reckon, if he ever wants another record player...

Reckon these were a bargain? Unfortunately I forgot I was watching them and never got a chance to bid! :doh:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...#ht_500wt_1156
My missus was watching them, but decided it was too far to drive.
Only 15 miles for me! Double :doh: :doh:Quote:

The early Spendors and Rogers BBC derivatives suffered too and the bass unit output drops by several db as a result, the bass all but disappearing as well. I don''t believe the DM4's were like this when new tbh.
I've had 'DM4's i like em, but the later all black units..
I noticed the wrinkling and suggested these werent the best ones. Probably why they went so cheap.
A local charity shop was selling a pair sans grills for £15! I passed them up. :doh:
You know what gets up my back. when you ask for additional pictures of the item, the seller says he's too busy! a few mins thats all it takes, i mean were's he gonna find time to pack it & post it i ask myself.
So then, fabulous and rare item but zero rated seller and one tiny picture. Dodgy do we reckon? :scratch:

Ah yes but those are ebay miles which equate on average to about 0.6 of our miles!!!! I was watching a stand that was 30 miles away. When I put it all in google, it was 57 miles away. That would have added just over another couple of gallons @ £6 per gallon it wouldn't have been such a bargain!Quote:

For some reason, I never got on with the looks of those.
