There is no "Myles Astor". He's a deep fake A.I. pseudonym concocted by a Texas architect/community planner/and: investor in Absolute Multimedia, Inc. (parent of TAS mag in Austin, TX) named David W. Robinson. I suspected this when I saw half of "Astor's" face bearing a strange resemblance to...

Two (vintage) flagship models not in the exorbitant pricing range of the more well-known types; but, certainly, top-flight in build and engineered performance. Yamaha CT-7000 Onkyo Integra T-9090

I find it odd, to say the least(?), how: Greg's outfit doesn't seem to have any customer reviews anywhere...nor, no employee documentation of where/who is fabricating these modified units.

I once saw a J-Corder gussied-up Technics where, seriously:facepalm:, they'd taken the blue background scale meters out of an old Akai GX-260 and had switched them into the Technics(!).

You Know My Name was never on the HEY JUDE compilation.

Speaking, for instance, of the Beatles...I've never heard a vintage, domestic-source copy of HEY JUDE (made accessible to the consumer "back-in-the-day") sound better than right here like this (the 2014 cd everybody clammored for, by contrast, does not have the same vintage mixes on it).

Not a tape deck --- but, one of the most (mechanically) refined and ingenious alternatives to record stacking: the 1962 Thorens 224

The Panasonic 20-cassette, auto reverse carousel changer from the same era as the Akai:

Fascinating Akai GXC-65 from 1972 in "Techmoan's" video.

au contraire...I love the '70s Mercedes' wagons ;)

Early-'70s VW Type 4 (though, the potent-for-then-VW engine would be reconfigured to be used in the later VW/Porsche 914) Late-'70s AMC Eagle 4x4 wagon 2000s Pontiac Aztek

A 1965 Thorens 150 was considered the "next big upgrade" after the AR-XA because the Thorens' arm could be removed for something better (typically, at the time: the first generation SME 3009).

The biggest promotional venue for it was mono AM radio. There wasn't a stereo Rock/Pop FM station in America until October 1966 (NYC's ex-98.7 "WOR") nor...were there widely available stereo 45's until 1968. A combination-of: crappy AM radio; crappy suitcase $39 phonographs; and "teen beat...

1975 Heathkit AA-1640 power amp (a "Franken-kit" once available based upon a combination design of surplus parts from a G.A.S. Ampzilla and Marantz 510M...however: it is a serious hunk of a tank moreso than those two and similar-era Dynaco):

Fremer (reportedly) keeps a quarter-MILLION dollars' worth of electronic gear -his system- in a basement utility room(!)o_O Why??? would anyone (having any sense of responsibility over their belongings, you'd think, they themselves invested in) logically ever even consider keeping it in such a...

It often results in sounding like a "gurgling" effect the worst on: (mostly) whenever transient, out of phase stereo signal reflections bleed into the opposite channel (as if someone was shaking a tambourine in a telephone booth underwater:facepalm:) or whenever the music gets "too busy" (which...

1960s Tapesonic model 70 rtr:

1973 quadraphonic Sansui QD-5500 rtr:

Meters from a scrapped low-end Teac A-103 cassette deck I transplanted into a Dokorder 1120 rtr (one of the originals had been cosmetically damaged):

That's a Classic Records 1994/1995 created release. The stereo recording of the RCA 1954 version never existed on vinyl before then.
