And indeed it is working just fine now! It’s not a high end deck by any means, but beats the cheap mechanisms you can get today. #hifi#repair#tapedecks
It saddens me that two generations have now grown up consuming almost all their music in compressed form - aka #mp3
My son's party #music at the weekend was (of course) all streamed from #Spotify. The sound quality is apalling. Mushy and lacking in sparkle and dynamics. Even including tracks which I know have been recorded to a very high quality standard.
And the artists behind the music are being screwed too.
How can we have gone so backwards 😩 #audiophile#hifi#corporategreed
A proposito di audio e roba tecnologica in generale oggi vorrei parlarvi di due prodotti di nicchia che hanno avuto uno scarso successo commerciale ma che ritengo molto validi per tutta una serie di ragioni. Ve ne racconterò le principali. #HiFi#Tech#Audio
MiniDisc player SONY
What a beautiful device, not sure what year it was released, seems to be late 1990’s.
Wish to have one for my music room in a near future! #SONY#MiniDisc#Vintage#HiFi#Audio#Analogue
hey y'all. i'm looking for some #help putting together a new #hifi setup. last week i acquired an #Aiwa brand #turntable and three matching #speakers, and i'd really like to find a matching #amplifier, but so far my search results have been suboptimal.
my turntable is an Aiwa PX-E860, and i have one Aiwa SX-C605 center speaker and 2 Aiwa SX-R275 stereo speakers. the turntable has a 2001 manufacture date, so i'm betting the speakers are about the same since i found them all in the same place.
i can't find a product catalogue or anything from around that time, so i'm truly at a loss as to what model of amplifier i should be looking for.
This is what I’m currently working on: A Hifi streaming device for Apple Music. It shall run on a @Raspberry_Pi with a HifiBerry DAC attached. The streamer shall have a touchscreen and shall be remote controllable using an iPhone app. Additionally it shall support AirPlay (recieving audio only) and Spotify Connect. #RaspberryPi#applemusic#spotify#airplay#hifi#streamer
I've wanted one of these for a long time, and I finally found one on eBay for a reasonable amount. It's an Onkyo Hi-MD deck. One of the few Hi-MD decks ever made. And it fits perfectly on top of my DENON shelf CD receiver. #minidisc#himd#hifi#vintage#audio
So, interesting discovery today… we have (rather, my father has) a Rotel RP-1001 turntable… still works, but the speed control pot needs some TLC. I'm at two minds whether to just replace it (the pot, not the turntable).
Went looking, seems Rotel are still around, and still publish the user manual for the thing.
Not bad product support for a turntable that is at least 4-years my senior! Now if only their website didn't send me to the wrong page of the .au site.
