Love the look of the Sansui, must admit I prefer a direct drive unit, specs say the SN ratio of the Sansui is marginally better than that of the Technics, while the Technics has a marginally better frequency response, probably all symantics I guess, but for me the Sansui wins..

That's interesting, adding no real value here other than to say that I discovered only today that my 2 month old SS system does exactly what you are asking, don't know how, but it does.. Mommy is busy with a roast chicken in the oven before our scheduled 4pm 4 hr loadshedding off session and I...

Bobby I think that unlike Europe or the States, the SA market for 'large' 10.5" RTR's even during their peak was limited. Yes the 7" machines were readily available, the larger units not so much so outside of professional recording studio environments, which leads to a small local audience...

Many a students in the area lunchtime treat were their (Eldorado's) chelsea buns, best in the country without doubt, lets say I had way too many from 79-83', probably the reason for my diabetes despite being as fit as a fiddle back then..!!

😋 It started here, on the kitchen sidetable, my fathers JVC.... almost 40 years ago...

I have 2 generators, a small 3,6kva Stramm, and a larger 6,7kva Honda. I don't often use the stramm as it is really weak but she is less noisy, which led me to using it again a few weeks back. On startup I smelt a very strong fuel odour, and noticed fuel dripping from the tank outlet to the...

Thank you chrisc, that was interesting reading!

Sony Walkman WM-10 holds the honours of the smallest ever, hard to believe they ran on a single 1.5 volt penlight battery..

Through the wonders of the web a Technics RS-1500 RTR made its way to me for a full recap a few weeks back. I must add that while I do have an electronics audio background, I do not have a repair workshop, nor am I in the repair business unlike the OP. In my 56 years of being on this spinning...

I see you have posted similar in this regard in 2020, seems like it all worked out for you so I imagine you have already answered yourself. Technically I see no reason why it would not work, I imagine the quality of the car amp is an equivalent choice factor to the quality of a home amp.. To...

Well, if that is the case, I’ve got one I’m willing to donate, she runs a lot, highly stressed, would work out perfectly…

Thanks Captain👍, its all just pretty pictures at the end of the day, all vintage, worthless old junk, no HDMI outputs, what can you possibly do with the stuff right??🤭

Do you not have NAB adapters at all, what are you using currently?

Thank you HC1, nope no A77's, I have one B77 that is a project machine the progress of which had ground to a halt probably 3 years back... Apart from that my usual goto's downstairs, apologies about the picture quality, the Technics RS-1500 hails from 1976, still works perfectly, but I prefer...

Thank you HC1, that video was super, back in the day where LED's where just making a breakthrough.. The RTS's are a heavily modified Revox B77 and on the right a bone stock Revox C270, bone stock within reason considering I machined all the knobs out of aluminium as the originals were junk...

Those VU's look suspiciously much like those on my old lady, albeit if the numbers differ a little.....

View from my office chair, my choice vintage.. The SAE strangely behaving itself for what must be a record 3 weeks, a proper record in the making, admittedly though only after having followed some key advice from Dewald, with thanks..!!..

:clap: :clap: :angel:

Meh, cannot afford the new stuff anyway, I'll just keep my antiques running a little longer...
