True.

Everything changed from 1989 on, up until then, there was still a lot of good music, and talented musicians around!
All IMO :)

Nooo! The eighties was the best generation for music IMHO (and no, I’m not talking about the chart rubbish).

Also, what’s not to love about a Lamborghini Countach or a Ferrari Testarossa, or a big fat mobile phone, or a Filofax or one of those new-fangled “Compact Disc” players?

And as far as fashion goes, the sight of a 1980s power-dressed business woman still reduces me to a dribbling, gibbering idiot.

I may possibly be over-sharing here...

Not to mention the sexist ad s in hi fi mags lol

I'll end up buying a proper tape deck.

:lolsign:

And that would be a bad thing, why?:D

Anyway, I collected it today, and it sounded mighty fine in the engineer's test system. Interesting too, to see his 'lab' and how he goes about his business, which was fascinating - a real perfectionist!

TBH, now that he's 'breathed on it', as it were, it's simply made it into a more desirable thing and added to the overall pride of ownership:cool:

Marco.

It's a temptation I've been trying to avoid for a long time, made easier as I don't have any tapes to play on one.

Lol - that would be easily enough sorted:eyebrows:

Hey, if would be blast making up some mad compilations for each other - swapping tapes, just like old times:D

Marco.

lol stop it, you got me looking at tape decks now.

Always fancied a Technics RS-BX707 https://www.cassettedeck.org/technics/rs-bx707/ they seem to be a reasonable price, must be still under the radar.
