Yes friends, seems that the big audio brands are moving on with the cassette revolution. Toshiba released a small boombox recently, SONY already has one and Panasonic has released a new one: the RX-D55A. Looks like a basic boombox but, hey, it has a cassette player. The frequency range is 50-12.000 Hz which is much […]

I love to do recordings, and I always do them in one of my decks (see my collection in this video). Using a good deck and proper guidelines (as explained in my guide to make good recordings) does end up in a very good quality. Much more than many people think a cassette can hold. […]

I have recently found a thrift store just by luck and, god, that was a find! I have never seen such a big 2nd hand store… They have a section for old HI-FI that is glorious: It is full of interesting devices like these: or all these:   And there it was, a Panasonic RX-DS45 […]

I have seen this rare deck only in an old brochure. I must confess once I’ve seen it in action I’m in love with it. My friend Mat at Techmoan has finally found one after years of searching and he’s so lucky to have it in excellent and working condition. Believe it or not, but […]

I’ve always wondered about this eye-catching boombox. I still remember it from the catalogs of the early 90s. I guess it was one of few models that show signs of design based on angles and straight lines and both the ‘egg’ design that become the facto-standard from late 90 and on. I specially like its […]

I have recently acquired one of those rare beauties in the boombox history: the Panasonic RX-DT9. This beast was the top-of-the-line model in this brand’s history, the most advanced and powerful (well, behind the RX-A2 monster). It’s so advanced that it can compete with many mini-HIFIs and it probably sounds better and has a lot […]

I’ve been lucky to have one of the best boomboxes at home for some days recently. A good friend, Mankamaz, bought this treasure and sent it to restore (put new belts, etc…) and then it came home. I took it a few photos quickly. Not the same way I usually do by deep cleaning it, […]

Today I was digging in my collection to find my most weird walkmans. I mean: those walkmans that are very particular because of a strange design or a feature. And this is what I found: 10 models that are definitely strange. I sorted them by their “weird score” (IMHO). Here they are: in 10th position […]

After my first post about those beautiful red players, I’d like to add some more that I’ve been collecting in the meaning time. First one is this Toshiba RT-V600, which was one of the very few ‘sports’ model (meaning: splash and shock resistant) available from other brands (not SONY): They also have another cool red […]
