Halestorm - Rock Show

I saw them perform this one live maybe six months ago. Afterwards it felt like I had lost my voice, but I couldn't hear myself well enough to tell.

Right, I did. But yeah, I got out of the shower this morning and somehow that tune came to mind out of nowhere. Thought about it until some lyrics hit me, googled it, aha. :wink:

Just picked up an original cassette, still sealed, of Metropolis Pt 2: Scenes from a Memory by Dream Theater. Giving that a play right now, chilling out with a cold can of Mt. Dew, and looking out at the beautiful day!

I still have my last cassette deck (Denon DR-M44HX), but I fear that to get it in running order (all those pinch rollers must be hard as rock 30 years on) would be cost-prohibitive. The tape collection itself is long gone, lost to a SWMBO cleaning jihad at least 20 years ago.

I still have my old Denon too. No idea if it still works.

Looks like a nice little deck, when it works. Right now I've got a JVC TD-W354 (it's not much, but hell, it was $2.50!), but I'm looking at making a massive upgrade soon, to something like this Sansui SC 5100. I'm a big fan of older Sansui gear :D

My guess is that the rubber pinch rollers are shot. Mine's been out of the stack for about 20 years and I can't be bothered to dig it out to check.

Also, some of those old Denons used belts/o-rings as drive components and I can't believe they've held up. The 44HX was about a $600 deck when I bought it circa 1987 and I'd probably spend that at a minimum to get if fully working, which would leave me with the angst that goes through the small brain of the dog that finally catches the car, i.e. why?

You could probably sell the repaired deck to a cassette-loving hipster for a tidy profit.

Just picked this up online JBI, pretty sure you will like the music but be stunned by the recording, I don't think I have heard a better sounding recording then this one.

Maybe a little hyperbole but I think its a fair comment.

Are hipsters paying that sort of cash for old cassette desks? I can understand if you're heavily invested into the medium, but if you're just starting from scratch.... :roll:

Well, there's no examples on FleaBay or Audiogon, so probably not.
