I’ve recently seen this video that I found funny and I’d like to share with you:    

Sometimes, very rarely, a truly rare item appears suddenly like a jewel. I think this time I found some: the Sansui FX-W72R. This walkman comes under the name of a very respectable HI-Fi brand, which has made some quite remarcable devices, like the impressive SE-9 equalizer that I have in my collection:   Sansui always focused in […]

Some time ago I managed to get a shiny SONY WM-701S, the famous silver version of the famous too WM-701C, that I reviewed here.

Something that we, guys who lived for years with them, already know very well but that can be frustrating for young people interested in this matters. For that reason I decided to create a:   Cassette, […]

Some time ago I was offered one of this beast. A friend of mine, who has a wide collection of decks as well as an astounding music room (see it here) had this one and didn’t want to keep it anymore. It was in perfect cosmetic condition but it required a though and deep work […]

I was searching for a 1st generation TDK SA and found some at eBay from a trusted seller. I bought one and I was very happy… until it arrived and I opened it. I realized then that it was a fake tape. A rare clone 1st gen TDK SA. Are you curious? Please see this […]
