    Aiwa AD-F660 3-Head Stereo Cassette Deck (1983-86)

    What a joy to watch this. Thanks for posting! I could definitely use this to investigate mine. I also had that take-up hub idler issue, but could solve it by cleaning to provide better grip. The video also demonstrates some of the features I described above and bears out my testimony regarding...

    Aiwa AD-F660 3-Head Stereo Cassette Deck (1983-86)

    Awesome. Still have my Aiwa AD F770 from 1982, bought from Tafelberg Meubileerders in Bellville. Ditto in the case of the recording capability of these decks. The mechanism inside is absolute precision engineering. Dual capstans - not auto-reverse - to maintain tape tension. Different...

    Have you been able to confirm that your speakers respond to any other amplifier?

    5 kW system

    Hi Louis, If you rewrite 4.8kWh as 4.8kW1h, it explains what it means. This would translate to 2.4kW2h or 1.2kW4h, the product of the power and duration always matching your system ability. There are of course losses, but this gives you a rule of thumb.

    5 kW system

    In many cases - Pretoria, anyway - ROI is far away from the mind of the installer. They would simply just like/must have continuous power throughout the day.

    5 kW system

    Agree. Exactly what a friend in a retirement village did recently, pending permission from the body corporate to install solar panels.

    So, who uses subtitles?

    I do it for the fun factor when the soundtrack is in Dutch. I can follow the Dutch well enough, but it has - to me - great amusement value to see how they have translated especially the idiomatic use. Literally it is of course different, with the Dutch version just sounding so much "fresher"...

    Another DIY targa home sub build

    Very clever. Assume there is a nut and washer outside the box as well. So you can now easily - and cheaply - determine where the bracing should be in the test box prior to installing something permanently.

    Used Volvo's: safe to buy?

    Hi Louis, Just confirm, with "cars" you exclude SUVs? Pre or post 2010? Petrol or diesel?

    Does music contain energy we cannot measure, an essence so to speak?

    You use all the relevant words: physical, emotional, unmeasurable, not just caused by music, sound, etc. I've had the response of tingling skin and hair raising when exposed to certain sounds, ever since I can remember. My dad was the same. Listening to an orchestra, specifically brass...
