I got a Bose Smart speaker 500 - it gets me

The Bose Smart Speaker 500 was discontinued in 2024. It seems it wasn't suitable for almost everyone. It's just what I wanted. UPDATE: Just as I finished this video some of these showed up on the Bose Refurbished sites in the UK & Germany (and possibly elsewhere). If you want a Smart Speaker 500 this might be the last best chance to get one with a warranty at a discounted price - check your local Bose website for info.

Bose Wave good buy?

Bose Wave good buy?

Trying the last Bose Wave for the first time. The Bose® Wave® SoundTouch® music system IV Amongst the things you could always count on were death, taxes and a Bose® Wave® advert in the back of your Sunday magazine. However if like myself you haven’t leafed through a Sunday supplement for a many a year, you might not be aware of the absence of the Bose Wave. They were discontinued a few years ago. Now that the Wave has gone I'm wondering if it was actually any good, or was it, as so many claim, an overpriced and mediocre piece of tech sold to people with too much money who didn’t know any better. Seems like it’s time for an overdue and overlong video examination of the final model.

My Miniot Wheel 2 finally arrived, but does it deliver on the promise?

pQfWRvsDu8I | 13 Apr 2024

My Miniot Wheel 2 finally arrived, but does it deliver on the promise?

The Wheel 2 is a highly sophisticated record player. In many ways it is a modern day reimagining of the compact linear tracking turntables Technics made in the 1980s. It includes features such as linear tracking, direct track access, auto speed Selection as well as speed and tracking compensation for off-centre and warped records. However it's definitely not for everyone...

HDMI via a Cat6 cable works surprisingly well

ZP5XuKK9jNg | 06 Apr 2024

HDMI via a Cat6 cable works surprisingly well

If you need to route video around the house - your best option might be to use a dedicated Cat6 or Cat5e cable. NOTE - This is not a networked Ethernet connection - with these specific adaptors you can't send the HDMI signal via a router, a switch, an Ethernet over power-line connector, a WiFi transmitter, etc - you're just using a Cat6 (or CAT5e) cable as a substitute for a HDMI lead. The benefits are that you can have a longer cable run and the cable is easier to route through small holes and conduits. There are more capable (and expensive) options available in this range of HDMI extenders if you need to send UHD HDR video. The full range is on the manufacturer website https://www.orei.com My AFFILATED Amazon Links for this, the cheapest model in the Orei video extender range UK https://amzn.to/4alf2rZ US https://amzn.to/3TZFthc DE https://amzn.to/3TDAVvE CA https://amzn.to/4cE3JNb Also here’s that cheapo Network Cable Tester - https://amzn.to/3VLpYLo (UK AFFILIATED LINK) Some have demanded to know why I didn’t move the cable co-ax into the lounge. Firstly, don’t worry so much about my situation, I’m demonstrating a piece of tech, I’m not asking anyone to move in. However the reasons for not wanting to move the co-ax are as follows 1) The co-ax cable is still needed in the office room where it connects to the router and in turn distributes internet to the whole house. I don’t want to move the whole router set up. It works well where it is. 2) One option then might be extending/splitting the broadband co-ax and sending it to two rooms, however this is something that would have to be done by an installer allocated by the cable company and that’s a hassle as well as an expense. 3) There’s no easy cable path from the cable termination box outside to the back of the TV area. Installation of the Sky satellite cables between the same two points twenty years ago involved digging up the bitumen lounge floor - and that’s not something I’m prepared to go through again. For the sake of £36 for these boxes there’s no engineer, no disruption, no big bill and zero hassle. Frankly you’d have to be a maniac not to go with this option given the choice.

Q) Will the Action Man records play on the Juniorfon? A) The Action Man records are smaller in diameter than the smallest Juniorfon record - therefore the needle would drop down outside of the disc. So the answer is No. Q) Will the Juniorfon records play on the Action Man field radio? A) The Juniorfon records are larger in diameter than the Action Man records, hence will not allow the field radio door to close, which is essential for playback.

Walkman II : The Do-over. The start of something small

Yoto! - The Beatles (and Queen) arrive on a kids audio player

The Yoto is an audio player system for children aged 3-12+. So it’s a nice surprise to find albums from The Beatles & Queen being realised on its Yoto Card format.

The Connoisseur’s Boombox - FH7 Fully Loaded

The Connoisseur’s Boombox - FH7 Fully Loaded

A look at the optional extras for the versatile Sony FH-7 Mini HiFi Music featured in this video... LPs Antony Coppens https://juicerecords-australia.bandcamp.com/album/antony-coppens Anders Enger Jensen https://eoxstudios.bandcamp.com/album/in-space CDs Candy Apple Blue https://www.candy-apple-blue.com Tape (all from the YouTube audio library) Come Vibe With Me - Patrick Patrikos Assorted Jazz - Tracktribe A bit of extra info about ribbon cables - I didn’t include this in the video as it’s irrelevant to almost everyone, but just in case you do go looking for an EBP-78 DC adaptor… it’s worth noting that the ribbon cable connectors on the FH7 Mk3 have plastic cut-outs at the top that accommodate corresponding protrusions present on the FH7 Mk3 sockets. The Mk2 sockets don't have these protrusions. Therefore the Mk3 cable that was included with my DC power adaptor fitted my FH7 Mk2 just fine, but the Mk2 cable would have need trimming with a Dremel to fit the FH7 Mk3 DC power supply’s ribbon cable socket. The pin-outs are the same. You see now why I didn't include this bit...yawn.

The flashiest 'NOW PLAYING' stand

The flashiest 'NOW PLAYING' stand

No one really *needs* a 'now playing' stand or a music visualiser - but you might *want* this *$200* device that combines both into one almost useful and very flashy object . Available from https://petrudesign.com They're also on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/PetruWoodworks This video is not affiliated, I'm not on commission, I haven't been paid to make this video, I bought the record stand....BUT...I also got an additional free updated version - hence I used the 'Paid Promotion tag'. YouTube states "If you accepted anything of value from a third party to make your video, you must let us know. We'll show viewers a message telling them that your video contains paid promotion." - so I ticked the appropriate box to indicate 'Yes I accepted something of value from a third party".

Japan's 1980s 3D Videodisc system - 3D VHD

PxkNilHB9hc | 08 Jul 2023

Japan's 1980s 3D Videodisc system - 3D VHD

25 years before 3D Blu-ray, some enthusiasts in Japan were watching 3D movies in their homes courtesy of the 3D VHD system. Better late than never I'm going to try it out. CORRECTION/CLARIFICATION Regarding the way the disc stores the 3D - as mentioned it’s two frames per rotation made up of four fields, what I neglected to mention though was that the fields alternate for each eye. So it’s left eye field 1, right eye field 1, left eye field 2, right eye field 2 …and that’s our two frames for that rotation - so then the pickup moves onto the next ring. I know almost no one will read this, but for that one person who does and who gives a hoot,…Hi, I hope you have a great day. MERCHANDISE New Techmoan Merchandise is now available. https://etsy.me/3zzjweo Picture of 3D adaptor from https://www.msx.org/wiki/ There’s also a lot of information on 3D VHD on https://disclord.tripod.com/vhddiscworld/ - but unfortunately the website seems to have been abandoned in 2001 and since has been invaded by dodgy spam adverts that tell you you have a virus, so visit at your own risk.

If you queued up in a UK Post Office in the 1980s you might have seen one of these carts in action.

Panasonic's rapid response to Sony's Walkman

Uf-kDNFMCD0 | 04 Mar 2023

Panasonic's rapid response to Sony's Walkman

The Sony Walkman revolutionised portable stereos - the RX-2700 is one way Panasonic responded. But there's a reason why it's become a model to avoid. 00:00 History 09:08 A simple belt swap 18:06 Lessons learned 21:20 Patreon credits MERCHANDISE New Techmoan Merchandise is now available. https://etsy.me/3zzjweo FAQ Q) You should send it to….they’d/I’d fix it. A) It really is not worth anyone’s time. This cost me £44 - bought as 'Junk' just to use in this video. The disassembly was recorded across two days. The section at the end where I throw in the towel was shot after I’d spent the afternoon of day two stripping down the tape mechanism to get the belts in place. This involved removing multiple split washers and e-clips the size of a pinhead. Once those parts were reassembled a couple of the vital ones were no longer securely held in place. It’s likely some microscopic, important and irreplaceable components pinged off during disassembly, never to be seen again. Whatever the reason though - the mechanism is a write-off. Whenever something broken appears in a video I understand the desire to see the thing fixed but this is a heavy, compromised personal stereo cassette player that even if functional would be destined to sit unused. Given that the mechanism relied on dried up rubber friction wheels it’s unlikely it would be trustworthy. I'd rather play my cassettes using something else. If anyone wants to take on the challenge of swapping the belts on one of these - the RX-2700 appears on eBay quite frequently. I believe other early Panasonic models are equally complex internally. If you bought one of these at least you’ll be starting off with a complete unit, with all the parts intact. You don’t want to go into something like this following on from someone else’s half-finished repair - you don’t know what damage has been done or irreplaceable parts lost. Rather than start with a bag of assorted bits, probably not all the bits, you'd be better to start from scratch with an unmolested example. Good luck if you do, but there are way way better personal stereo cassette players out there far more worthy of your time.

REVISED Coturn CT-01 portable vinyl record player. Worth the premium?

REVISED Coturn CT-01 portable vinyl record player. Worth the premium?

The Coturn CT-01 is a premium portable rechargeable bluetooth-equipped vinyl record player I first reviewed in 2021. The one I tested back then had some issues. I now have a newer version that promises to resolve these problems. Time to do some tests. 00:00 The story so far 03:39 Hands-on 04:47 Speed/W&F Tests 09:19 Portability & practicality 11:30 Tracking force measurements 13:14 Audio demo 13:54 Headphone out 14:38 Feature comparison 15:53 Coturn 2021 vs 2023 17:35 Round-up 19:59 Patreon credits 20:50 Extra - tracking force experiments 28:35 The End Note - this video is Not a ‘paid promotion’. I paid for my first CT-01 on Kickstarter, I then paid £75 import duty to receive a non-functioning replacement and then finally I've paid another £95 duty to receive the one shown here. I’m returning my non-functioning one. So at the end, I’m left with one turntable, which I paid for.

REVISED Coturn CT-01 portable vinyl record player - Worth the premium? (RE-UPLOADED)

The Coturn CT-01 is a premium portable rechargeable bluetooth-equipped vinyl record player I first reviewed in 2021. The one I tested back then had some issues. I now have a newer version that promises to resolve these problems. Time to do some tests. RE-UPLOADED - This video has been re-uploaded in order to revise the tracking force tests to show the accurate result for a spring loaded tonearm. Originally I thought the arm was weighted rather than sprung, and as a result used the incorrect technique to measure the tracking force. The results now are approximately 0.5g less. So not a massive difference to what I got before but I didn't want to leave the video with inaccurate information. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Because subscribers already got a notification for the first upload, I turned the notification option off for this re-up as I don't want to spam people.

Shaving Compact Discs to improve the sound (?!)

f-QxLAxwxkM | 03 Sep 2022

Shaving Compact Discs to improve the sound (?!)

Today I'm using a special lathe that cuts a 36º edge into a CD to improve the sound quality. Is this madness...I aim to find out. Snopes has an entry regarding the use of green edge markers to prevent ‘light scatter’ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bewaring-of-the-green/ FAQ… Q) Why didn’t you just rip the CDs into the computer? A) Because I wanted to use a regular Audio CD player. As the improvements mentioned related to the quality of audio produced during CD *playback* (at 1x), this is what I chose to concentrate on. ONE SLIGHT CORRECTION to this video… The Dave Brubeck Hybrid SACDs I bought cost me £5.69 each - not the £8.50 I mentioned in the video. So that’s a bit of a bargain. If anyone is interested here’s an AFFILIATED LINK to the discs I ordered. https://amzn.to/3e7N3DS However I can’t guarantee you’ll receive SACDs like I did ...but I also don’t see why you wouldn’t. ------------- Merchandise ----------------- New Techmoan Merchandise is now available. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/nerdkeyz?ref=seller-platform-mcnav&section_id=37136753 --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

I bought the best Panasonic stereo cd/radio/bluetooth portables to find out how capable these new 'boomboxes' are now that they've dropped the cassette. PANASONIC RX-D552 AFFILIATED AMAZON LINKS UK https://amzn.to/3p8meSg DE https://amzn.to/3QaNqfb US & CANADA NOTE - in the US & CANADA for obvious reasons the range tops out at the D550 instead of the DAB+ equipped D552 - so here’s the USA AFFILIATED Amazon link for the D550 https://amzn.to/3QsP8Zb However you can still find some of the better (in my opinion) older D55 model in the US - and if I were getting one I’d still choose this - so here’s the USA AFFILIATED Amazon link for the cassette playing D55 https://amzn.to/3QdYB6T CANADA See note above - here’s the AFFILIATED CANADA Amazon link for the new D550 https://amzn.to/3vMXVgF and the older D55 https://amzn.to/3P5XIf9 RX-D70 Germany: https://amzn.to/3BTvDov 00:00 Start 04:15 RX-D552 11:08 RX-D70 16:33 USB 19:30 Sound comparison 21:14 Bluetooth 22:28 FM 23:27 MP3 CD 23:48 Timer 24:01 Display downgrade 24:35 BT Headphone? 24:56 Speakers 25:53 Battery life 27:14 Summary 31:23 Patreon credits ------------- Merchandise ----------------- New Techmoan Merchandise is now available. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/nerdkeyz?ref=seller-platform-mcnav&section_id=37136753 --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Sony SA-RS5 surround speakers REVIEW & HT-A7000 Soundbar update

I’ve upgraded my Sony HT-A7000 soundbar with the new SA-RS5 rear surround & Atmos up-firers. Are they worth the premium over the RS-5S surrounds?

My daily driver Walkman?

My daily driver Walkman?

What hassle-free cassette Walkman do I use the most often? UPDATE - I have been informed that I need to remove the battery door in order to get into my EX672…so now I know what to do if I ever fancy replacing the belt in that one too. NOTE: The players shown in the video took me *years* to assemble (one of them took me three attempts - for a total of around £280) - the odds of just popping on ebay today and immediately picking one up at a good price is almost nil…so don’t be shocked when that’s the case. 00:00 Start 03:05 Current faves 08:07 My new player 13:10 A broken one 17:32 Back to the working one 22:43 Audio demo 1 23:18 W&F tests 27:36 The inevitable belt swap 28:41 W&F test revisited 29:28 Audio demo 2 29:56 I needed to remove the battery cover 30:26 Lessons learned 37:51 Patreon credits ------------- Merchandise ----------------- New Techmoan Merchandise is now available. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/nerdkeyz?ref=seller-platform-mcnav&section_id=37136753 --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Playaway : The audiobook players that smartphones couldn't kill

qF42AJw1nhs | 21 May 2022

Playaway : The audiobook players that smartphones couldn't kill

In 2006 the world was introduced to the Playaway - an all-in-one audiobook player, where each device held a single pre-loaded book which could not be swapped out.

Obscure 1991 hand held game machine - The J.Cock Z400S

aj1SMUbAr50 | 05 Mar 2022

Obscure 1991 hand held game machine - The J.Cock Z400S

Thought you'd seen every 1990s hand held colour video game machine? Enter the J.Cock. New Techmoan Merch now available: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/nerdkeyz?ref=seller-platform-mcnav&section_id=37136753 If you know your historical gambling devices, you’ll have heard of a Trade Stimulator - if you're unfamiliar, these were small counter-top games of chance where you could win things such as bubble gum and cigarettes. These would commonly have been found in general stores in the US in the early 20th century. Whilst the machines presented a front of innocence to authorities, they were often used as a means to circumvent anti-gambling laws. By using the bubble gum payouts as tokens, your customers could gamble real money, with any winnings being paid by exchanging the ‘prizes’ with cash from the store’s till. The reason I mention these is that this is effectively what I have to show you today. But this one dates from the early 1990s and comes from Japan - a country with its own perculiar gambling regulations… as demonstrated in my previous video about pachinko. https://youtu.be/bWV_zpRrCko 00:00 Start 01:53 In the box 03:38 Problems 05:46 It’s alive 06:12 Playing the game 11:09 DIP switches 12:16 Specs 12:43 Inside the case 14:15 More than meets the eye 15:32 Mat’s Karaoke bar & illegal gambling den 16:52 Oh yes it is.. 19:13 Merch plug 19:27 Patreon credits FAQs Q) But surely gambling like this would be illegal? A) Yes, that’s why I included the information above about illegal gambling in the US during the time of prohibition. Companies in the US made Trade Stimulators at a time when gambling was illegal knowing full well they were making devices that were being used for gambling - but it’s the act of gambling not the device that was illegal. You can bet on almost anything if you want, the colour of the next car coming round the corner..they can't ban everything. Poker is played with playing cards, but playing cards are still legal in Japan…ask Nintendo. Q) Is there an anti tamper feature? A) Yes - there is something mentioned in the instructions but appears to be deactivated on mine. So no, you wouldn’t be able to pick open the lock and open it undetected. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?... ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

A quick video about an unusual Sony Walkman. Can you fill in the blanks? UPDATE 1 - A patron found this newspaper article about the Soundalive company. https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/business/firm-brings-historic-ports-heritage-4853435 UPDATE 2: - Here's what we've learned so far. *The Soundalive! company provided a variety of narration devices for a number of locations. *People remember using these devices on tours in places such as Westminster Abbey - those tapes contained narration describing details about the surroundings. *It is believed that the music tapes, such as the one I used in this video were likely not used on tours, but instead were something created just to be sold in a museum gift shop. *Some people who have used these devices remember them pausing at appropriate narrative gaps on the tape and it's postulated that in these cases it could have been the tape itself that somehow triggered the auto-pause feature. The listener would then restart the tape whenever they wanted to continue with the narration. Of course it's possible that this was a feature present on a different model. With this particular machine it's not clear how a tape would trigger a pause. The tape mechanism appears just to house a standard stereo cassette play head with nothing out of the ordinary coming into contact with the tape. Output is in stereo. *There are still questions surrounding about how, where and when the radio signal pause feature was implemented. It’s possible the radio interference pausing the machine (something which can also be triggered by holding a smartphone next to the player) is just co-incidence and it’s mimicking a signal that might have been present on the narration tapes. * It was questioned as to whether a period of silence could be the thing that stops the player. I checked and the machine will continuously play through a blank tape from beginning to end without pausing. So it's not this. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- Merchandise ----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

How CD players got boring & why the Technics SL-P1200 is one of the exceptions

Forty years ago CD players were the cool new thing. The first machines were amazing technological marvels with interesting designs. But when it came to launching the second generation players most manufacturers' models started to look pretty similar. In this video I'll explain what happened and then show that there were some exceptions - you just needed to think outside the (oblong) box. I then go on to demonstrate the exception(al) CD player I bought - a Technics SL-P1200. 00:00 Show me the media 02:52 Things started off well 04:34 But then this happened 06:32 So I bought this 07:32 But I really wanted this 08:53 Let’s look at the SL-P1200 10:34 How quick 11:15 So what can it do 16:11 Summary 16:56 Patreon credits LINKS Technics SL-P1200 machines for sale on ebay (AFFILIATED LINK) https://ebay.us/KOFfOz Audioscope (A retailer of classic HiFi - who I borrowed a couple of old pictures from) https://www.audioscope.net Vintage Chief (another retailer of classic HiFi who I borrowed a picture from) https://www.vintagechief.com Philips CD Prototype introduction video https://youtu.be/Wo0p1ZRO7kk Vintage Brochures https://www.hifi-archiv.info The Vintage Knob's page on the Technics SL-P1200 http://www.thevintageknob.org/technics-SL-P1200.html --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- Merchandise ----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

The Scope Clock - from Cathode Corner

The Scope Clock - from Cathode Corner

In this video I demonstrate the 2021 Oscilloscope clock from Cathode Corner. The clock shown in this video was provided to me free of charge. For more information, visit https://scopeclock.com If these are sold out (which is very likely by the time you read this) - and you're interested in buying one of these in the future, it might be an idea to sign up to the updates from the Scopeclock site - you'll find the link at the bottom of the page linked above. David takes the sensible approach of making and selling things in small batches. That way he can't get overwhelmed by accepting more orders than he's capable of fulfilling. Basically the opposite of Kickstarter. Only promising what he can deliver. CORRECTION: The positioning controls are potentiometers not encoders. 00:00 Backstory 01:50 Price 02:27 Look at that 03:10 Settings 04:10 Clock faces 05:08 Haikus 05:47 Games 08:23 Miscellany 09:22 Clock battery backup 09:42 Less common than Nixies 10:42 Functional art 11:36 Round up 12:36 Patreon Credits Patrons have early access to videos. https://www.patreon.com/techmoan FAQS Q) Something something something SCREEN BURN? A) There are mitigating measures in the software that shift the image over time and David tells me he made these twenty years ago using the same tubes and those are still fine. However I'd strongly suggest that if you're the nervous type who insists on firm guarantees, then this really is not the device for you and you're not the person that this is intended for. This is a hobbyist product, made by one bloke for fellow enthusiasts. Oscilloscope tubes were never intended to be used like this, but that's the charm of the device - it's unusual. But along with the unusual comes the unknown. Screen burn worrywarts would be better off just steering clear and instead getting themselves a regular mass produced clock. No CRT screen = no worries about screen burn. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- Merchandise ----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Your local Radio DJ's fake celeb chat scam - The open-ended interview

Your local Radio DJ's fake celeb chat scam - The open-ended interview

No, your local radio DJ broadcasting from a studio in the middle of nowhere didn't get world famous celebs just popping in to chat - they played you, just like they played this record. ERASING CARTS? Note: No, I am not looking to erase my unique NAB carts. The hapless DJ in the video is just a character and as such his needs are ficticious. The wig is (always) a strong indicator that buffoonery is afoot. The joke that was being played out here was that the DJ had all the wrong carts for his radio station WFTM based in Upper Ramsbottom - there is no WTFM in Upper Ramsbottom - this is also fiction. You'd be surprised how many people have posted suggestions as to how to erase carts. Carts a pretend character wanted erasing for his pretend radio station. Now speaking as a real person I have no desire to erase these carts. A blank cart is easily found. A one-off cart from The Loop is irreplaceable. However if for some bizarre reason I lost my marbles and decided to re-record over them, I'd just use a degaussing eraser and re-record them on the mono cart machine shown in this earlier video. https://youtu.be/-m9WfAJMMa8 --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- Merchandise ----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

The reality is that you place the end very close to the surface of a record and pull the trigger slowly. If you buy one you should get instructions included - but I wouldn’t want to be responsible for leading anyone into performing a sub-par de-static procedure by following my non-example. LIQUID Q) Hey why didn’t you fill the tank with (inset alternative liquid here - IPA, Detergent, etc )? A) The instructions state only to use (Distilled) Water with the machine and not to put anything else in it. ALTERNATIVES Q) You shouldn’t clean your records with that, the best way to clean records is to (insert alternative method here). A) This is a video review of the Humminguru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaner. If the video was about something else, the title wouldn’t match the contents. DAMAGE Q) Perhaps the crackles and pops and clicks that remained on the record after cleaning are caused by permanent damage to the record and not removable dirt? A) Yep - this is discussed in the section starting at 18:02 entitled ‘Unrealistic Expectations’ - where I mention that perhaps it is unrealistic to expect *any* type of record cleaner to return an old vinyl record back to factory condition. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- Merchandise ----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Klipsch The One II REVIEW - Compact bluetooth speaker with a built-in phono pre-amp

Klipsch The One II REVIEW - Compact bluetooth speaker with a built-in phono pre-amp

The Klipsch The One II is a mains-powered retro-styled (but in a good way) bluetooth speaker with a built in phono pre-amp. There are some limitations and issues but if you get it at the right price it might be just what you're looking for. So here's an EBAY USA AFFILATED LINK that points you in the appropriate direction: https://ebay.us/ffPs3n Music played during the bluetooth demo was Sydney's Skyline by Alibis from the YouTube Audio Library and the record was by Richard Houghten https://bloomypetal.bandcamp.com NO NOTIFICATION? Yes it turns out after making this video that it probably wasn’t really worth making after all - speakers are just uninteresting things to demonstrate. I considered not releasing this video, but instead I’ve dropped it mid-week WITHOUT A SUBSCRIBER NOTIFICATION. Why? Well if someone had received their usual notification and as a result clicked on the ‘latest Techmoan video’ they’d have probably felt a bit cheesed off when this is the video they got. However if I don’t put a notification on it then anyone who watches it has clicked on the video because they chose to, even after seeing the dull subject matter - and that decision is on them. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- Merchandise ----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

An unusual player for a forgotten ‘70s music format

An unusual player for a forgotten ‘70s music format

This was mistakenly advertised as a Karaoke machine. It isn’t a Karaoke machine. Nevertheless I took a punt on buying it as I had the feeling that I owned the unusual cartridges it plays. In this video you can see if my hunch paid off and learn more about a rare format through an even rarer player. My earlier video about this format https://youtu.be/Q_9IBIcsYj4 UPDATES: I) The machine appears to date from approx 1976. A helpful person on Patron spotted a date code on the speaker. II) Crown?

Are all new personal stereos doomed?

Are all new personal stereos doomed?

I was hoping to have better news - but nope, it is what it is. I have to call it - the likelihood of ever seeing a good new cassette 'Walkman' ever again is so close to zero…I’ll just say it’s zero. I have to thank YoungSung Jeon (our man in Korea) for going to all the trouble of making a two hour round trip to pick this up from a store and then sending it on to me. While I had hoped that this would have shown that it's still possible for a company to make a reasonable quality cassette "walkman' type device in 2021 - it demonstrated the opposite. However this result does have a value of its own. Rather than fruitlessly buying each new device that comes out only to get the same results - we can see that the problem lies with the mechanisms that remain available. Since it seems extremely unlikely that anyone is going to start making a new high quality personal stereo cassette transport ever again - we can now draw a line under this period of history. Finding a newly manufactured high quality cassette 'Walkman' has now become as impossible as finding a newly manufactured high quality Edison Cylinder player. Things move on. These devices have passed into history. As a result you now either choose to buy an old one with the understanding that you deal with whatever issues come from making that decision - or you just don't get one. 00:00 Old man 01:54 What’s in the box 03:49 Buttons 05:14 First impressions 07:10 Quirks 08:14 Bluetooth 08:53 Audio Tests 11:19 You can’t polish a … 15:52 Wow & Flutter & more Wow 16:41 How to spot & avoid these 19:52 The truth hurts 20:49 Patreon Credits --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- Merchandise ----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Here’s an Amazon UK AFFILIATED link - but I’d recommend watching the video first https://amzn.to/2VmpY7P At the time of typing the Panasonic RX-D50 & D55 are still available in Europe via Amazon.DE - Here’s a link https://amzn.to/3xxDKBk - also on AMAZON US https://amzn.to/3xwikVp There's also the Sony CFD-S70 - that's probably the last best one still available outside Japan after the Panasonic models have disappeared. I do think the speakers let it down though, it's lacking in bass.

If you thought HD-DVD lost the HD disc format war to Blu-ray, you're right. But spare a thought for the third-placed format. One that could only dream of achieving HD-DVD's level of success.

Portable Monitors. Any good?

Portable Monitors. Any good?

A test of a portable monitor. Handy for dual-screen laptop use, a stow-able TV (when paired with a HDMI source) or a compact gaming screen - especially when it comes to the Nintendo Switch which can output to it in 1080p over USB-C. It's definitely not perfect though. Here are some links to the one I bought - look out for deals and vouchers and also have a look through the alternatives that show up - It's almost certain this is not the best one available.

A) Yes - if you freeze the video at the one minute point you can read all the track titles clearly (especially in 4K). Q) Hey you’re holding the Japanese pages wrong - the text is vertical. A) Google Translate will only translate horizontal passages of text. Therefore the page has to be orientated that way.

A once common yet unseen device

A once common yet unseen device

I’ve used one of these - most people I know have too, yet this is the first time I've seen one. When it comes to the joy of watching things working, the Kinetic appeal of this is up there with a Lava Lamp. 00:00 Start 00:51 What it did 02:58 A look inside 05:14 What’s on it? 08:22 This is what. 09:54 FAQs Answered 14:12 Credits If you want to watch an hour of tape looping - here's the video https://youtu.be/fYVZ7GQhW3Y Massive thanks to Neil for supplying this rare Machine. FAQ) How did the machine know where the start of the announcement was? Did it use a foil splice or a cue tone - or was it something else? A) It’s just a loop of tape with an announcement repeated a number of times which has then been stuck together at the end with normal splicing tape to form a loop. No metal foil. No auto-triggering pulses. Just a simple repeated audio recording on a loop of tape. I double checked with Neil who dealt with these things for a living and he confirmed that there was ‘nothing clever going on, it was just a plain old loop of tape'. A caller ringing up would just start the machine playing back from the point at which the tape last stopped moving. That would more often than not be some way into an announcement. However back in the 1980s this was something we were very accustomed to. You’d ring up and if you heard an announcement you waited until it looped around back and started repeating and then you’d hang up. I remember doing this. It was only in the age of digital recording technology that we came to expect BT announcements to always start right from the beginning. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- Merchandise ----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

A classic record player returns and this time it's not terrible. The Anabas GP-N3R Review

A classic record player returns and this time it's not terrible. The Anabas GP-N3R Review

If you want a portable record player that looks like a suitcase and sounds about as good as one, you’re spoilt for choice. On the other hand you've got this - The Anabas GP-N3R, aka The Freestyle, it may look like a toy but it kicks most other retro-styled rejects into lost-luggage. Here’s my AFFILIATED link for the Anabas GP-N3R on Amazon Japan https://amzn.to/34JczYp (They frequently go out of stock but so far they always restock again…be patient). Also please read the paragraphs below… If you want one then you’re importing it from Japan. I used Amazon Japan. If you’ve never used them before you’ll need to set up a new account…an existing non-Japanese Amazon account won’t work there. However it’s easy to do..just change the language at the top of the Amazon Japan page to English (click the flag icon), then go through the usual account setup process, name address, credit card and that’s it - you can now order from Amazon Japan just as easily as ordering locally. However not everything listed on there can be exported - usually you’re restricted the things that show as ‘Ships from Amazon’ themselves rather than from marketplace sellers. If you’re unsure then don’t do it. This is a service for people familiar with buying internationally. Also bear in mind if you import one of these then the guarantee is invalid as it’s not intended to be sold outside Japan.

1992's Revolutionary reading device for the blind

g0jECuwrn_U | 29 May 2021

1992's Revolutionary reading device for the blind

If you're blind and you have a printed document that contains information you need to read, how do you go about doing that? You might be fortunate enough to have someone around to read it to you - but what if there's no one to ask or perhaps you don't want someone reading your private information...well why not get a computer to read it instead. That's the basic idea behind Kurzweil's Reading Edge. Q) Why am I stood by the sea to talk about this device? A) Unfortunately a very elderly relative who cares for another very elderly immobile relative was taken into hospital so I spent the week as a live-in carer for the person left behind. As you can imagine this all happened suddenly, so before driving over to their house at the other side of the country I just had enough time to pack a few clothes and pick up my laptop and a camera. Fortunately I had some footage on the computer that I’d recorded a couple of months prior, so I passed the time while they were napping editing this video together. I shot the to-camera segments at a location a short walk from their house (after making sure they had everything they needed and a phone within reach).

MD systems from Japan : The good, the bad and the ugly?

MD systems from Japan : The good, the bad and the ugly?

Importing used audio equipment from Japan can be tempting - but there’s quite a bit more to think about beyond the ‘sticker’ price. A video with hints and tips sprinkled in amongst demonstrations of three quite different systems imported to the UK with mixed results. There are plenty of services to enable people outside Japan to buy from the Japan Yahoo auctions - including 'Buyee', 'Zenmarket', 'Jauce' and 'From Japan' to name just a few. I’m not qualified to recommend one above the others as I’ve only ever used one, for all I know it might be the worst.

The BIGGEST used HiFi bargains might be the SMALLEST

OUvau-DMuEY | 08 May 2021

The BIGGEST used HiFi bargains might be the SMALLEST

Collectors aren’t interested in Mini HiFi systems from twenty years ago - this means their prices aren't getting jacked up in the same way as old boomboxes and separates. Therefore used examples can make a good buy for anyone on a budget who just wants a compact system to play various physical music formats with minimum fuss. I bought one to see what I got for my money. AFFILIATED LINK to any SONY CMT-CP505MD* Mini HiFis currently on ebay UK https://ebay.us/GOYUEi You might also be interested in the similar CMT-CP500MD - they seem quite common too - so here's another ebay UK Affiliated link https://ebay.us/XrmkQi *I just wanted to add a warning that there appears to be a common issue with the cassette decks refusing to rewind or fast forward on these devices - check these features work before buying one. AFFILIATED eBay links to the Mini/Compact/Shelf HiFi section on: UK https://ebay.us/H1WdQS US https://ebay.us/hiWfWw DE https://ebay.us/iTeZyx CA https://ebay.us/IKJqFY AU https://ebay.us/7KxEd7 NL https://ebay.us/ujYoFu AT https://ebay.us/vGENUc FR https://ebay.us/esh80F ES https://ebay.us/ALE3c5 CHAPTERS 00:00 Overlong Intro 02:54 What I bought 10:20 A look inside 19:06 Tape Tests Pt. 1 21:37 Big in the UK 24:06 Tape Tests Pt. 2 25:20 CD to MD 29:02 Other Features Pt. 1 31:54 Mini HiFi - a lot to like 33:01 Other Features Pt. 2 35:26 Summary 38:57 Credits The Mini Electric Screwdriver I’m using in this video is a Wowstick Mini - while it doesn’t have sufficient torque to loosen tight screws - it can be twisted just like a normal screwdriver at the start to loosen the screw then the electric motor can take over to do the rest of the work. I like the fact it’s narrow, has LED lights in the end and comes with a load of bits (there are usually two options available - one comes with more bits). Here are some Amazon Affiliated links UK: https://amzn.to/3tkrOkx US: https://amzn.to/3eOQ9cK CA: https://amzn.to/3aXTYez DE: https://amzn.to/3nFAekZ NEW MINI HiFi New Mini HiFis are still made but the only legacy physical media they'll play is the CD - if you want to play your Tapes or Minidiscs you'll be looking at the used market. Here is a link to some examples of current models. https://www.richersounds.com/hi-fi/separates/mini-hi-fi-system-deals.html (non affiliated link) UPDATES - 1) CD CLICKING SOUND. A few patrons have advised me that they also have this model and their CD mech clicks too - it seems the tolerance for that plastic disc clamp is just too fine and they've mostly warped enough over the years so that they now fail to perfectly clear a horizontal plastic beam located just above the 'petals' and as they brush against it it makes a clicking sound until the disc spins up to full speed. So yes it's a design flaw, but not one that means anything is failing - it's just slightly annoying. 2) DOLBY PATENTS. The message about Dolby on the back will be referring to the Minidisc - apparently some Dolby Patents are involved in these. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- Merchandise ----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Philips crazy Ski Slope Cassette Deck

rObG3GddYGk | 01 May 2021

Philips crazy Ski Slope Cassette Deck

As unusual cassette decks go - the 1970s Philips changers are some of the oddest. 00:00 Intro 04:18 The ‘Repair’ 26:05 First Demo 30:13 Prices & History 32:38 More Demo 36:39 Wrap Up 38:22 Credits Additional Links Akai Auto-reverse video https://youtu.be/2CE_zmpHcWQ Bi-colour Tapes from https://www.tapeline.info EXTRA INFO It’s very likely one reason the tapes didn’t always locate perfectly in the mechanism is because I was using short custom-wound tapes. As these have less tape inside...they will also have less weight than the average C90. When I ordered them I had no idea the tolerances in the machine would be so fine with regard to tape weight. My intention was to use the short lengths to demonstrate the continuous tape recycling feature activated by the tape end sensor...without having to wait for a full length tape to reach the end. In addition most new cassette shells are a bit rougher and more angular than ones from back in the 1970s - they'd be more smoothed off with rounder edges, and as a result they'd be far less likely to get caught up against the sides of the cassette well. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- Merchandise ----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Sony’s old Bluetooth camera mic does more than their new one

sW48BlzeR6A | 20 Mar 2021

Sony’s old Bluetooth camera mic does more than their new one

This Bluetooth camera mic also adds an earphone output to Sony cameras like the A6400 and the ZV-1. However there is a catch or three… I'm also pretty sure this model is discontinued now that the new ECM-W2BT has been announced (happened while I was editing this video) 00:00 Intro 01:05 In the box 02:19 Demo 05:49 Been & gone 06:49 Two-way chat 07:57 Earphone limitations 09:08 It’s a re-mix 10:25 The buzz about the Hiss 11:57 Not a fix 13:02 Summary 14:33 Credits FAQ Q) Hey why don't you get that camera repaired? A) It's due to be replaced this year. The colour reproduction accuracy isn't a patch on that of a modern camera. I also need the next camera to be lighter as this one kills Manfrotto arms for fun - I'd like a fully articulating screen, the ability to record and power it from a USB C port at the same time, I need 4K60 and this list goes on and on (and on). In a nutshell - it's an old out of date camera that is due to be replaced as soon as something suitable appears. It will then be relegated to a back-up camera and the mic input won't be used for that purpose. Q) Hey I noticed the new version has a Mic-out socket - surely that’s a headphone output(?!?)! A) Mic out is exactly what it says, a mic out. It sends the mic to a mic in. Picture a wired mic on a stand that you might speak or sing into - now if you were to plug the wire from that mic directly into a set of headphones you wouldn’t hear anything. That’s how this works. My Sony ECM-XYST1M hot shoe mic has the same socket. Here’s how Sony describes the function of the MIC OUT jack ‘Usability with a wide range of devices An extensive range of cameras and other devices can be connected to the receiver portion of the ECM-W2BT. Equipment such as PCs and digital voice recorders that support audio input but don't have a Multi Interface Shoe can be connected via the 3.5mm stereo mini-jack output port on the receiver unit.’ Q) Where's the picture of the dog? A) I didn't get to take the picture - I mentioned it was shy in the video because it ducked down just before I could raise my smartphone. If you zoom in you'll see.

Q) Why is there a picture of a cheese sandwich on screen at the beginning? A) A while ago I coined the phrase ‘A cheese sandwich video’ to describe a simple video that’s exactly what it is and nothing more - just like a cheese sandwich is a sandwich containing cheese. If you see a cheese sandwich image pop up at the start of a video - it's a sign to expect a less complicated and elaborate video.

Lemmy’s touring slot machines

_SHv3N-cVc4 | 06 Mar 2021

Lemmy’s touring slot machines

Alongside the usual touring equipment, the late rock star Lemmy took something unusual on the road, a Slot Machine...from Germany. A video with a bit of a mystery, a bit of history and a bit of a demo. Geldspielautomaten computer game - available here: https://www.gzwo.de New Allwin gaming machines available from https://www.retro-arcade.co.uk Lemmy Thumb courtesy of Wikipedia / Mark Marek Photography 00:00 Intro 02:33 German Machines 03:20 International slot variances 06:25 The Allwins 09:30 Playing hard to get 11:04 The Lemmy connection 12:30 Why pick these? 13:09 Hernia time 14:02 A closer look 17:03 A look inside 18:39 Where there’s smoke 21:11 Is that it? 22:20 Virtually finished 28:00 The end UPDATES: Correction regarding old decommissioned gambling machines on ebay Since my 2018 purchase of the gambling machine from Germany - the UK laws changed yet again and now ebay UK is once again full of second hand gaming machines of all varieties (still none of these German ones though). Seems the old AWP/SWP rules have gone out of the window. Gameplay of Geldspielautomaten: There is an opportunity to press a button just after a win has appeared, but before the amount is confirmed. Just watch the stop light illuminate for a second before the win is set - that’s the moment, perhaps two or three seconds long where I could have chanced the win to potentially increase it. Then after that win amount has been settled on - there’s a further opportunity to gamble this amount up or down - and again you’ve got to be quick on the draw to catch this or it’ll do it for you. So the game goes like this - first you need three things to match to achieve a win, then you can randomise the amount of that win, and then you can go on to further gamble that amount. Or you can just sit back and watch the show. The fault with my machine Since shooting the video I have replaced the components that blew. However this did not resolve the fault. Also refilling the coin tubes doesn’t resolve the issue (a few suggested the machine might be indicating to an attendant that it had run out of money ). However if you look through the early comments you’ll see one from zapro-dk who mentions that his father had a machine from the same company and they discovered that if the battery dies it forgets its databank which effectively means it can’t work again, but there’s also a comment from TheNWDigital who has found a suggestion on a German forum as to how to reset this fault by bridging some pins on a connector. I went ahead and tried this and whilst it did reset the machine and stop the light from flashing (which was great) - the components I'd only just replaced immediately went up in smoke again - so there's still another issue elsewhere. Fortunately I've done all I needed to do with this one now, the machine was bought to use as a prop in a video. My original intention was to give it away after the video was finished. That’s not changed and I’ve been contacted by someone who still wants the machine even in its broken state. So trying to get it working again will become their project while I move onto other things. Thanks to everyone for the help and advice. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******VIDEOS GET POSTED EARLY ON PATREON******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

Densha de Go! Plug & Play TV Game - A surprisingly powerful dedicated retro console

Densha de Go! Plug & Play TV Game - A surprisingly powerful dedicated retro console

Thanks to a reissue of a Japanese 2018 Plug & Play TV Game I'm finally playing the PS2 Train Simulator, 'Densha de Go! Final'...fourteen years after this game first came out. ADDENDUM: Initially I wondered whether the hardware in this could power a 'PS2 Classic'. However it’s been pointed out that it’s most likely running a custom version of the PC port of this game. Also it’s probably no longer the most polygon-capable plug & play console now that Sega’s Astro City Mini is out. That one can play Virtua Fighter. So forget I said anything. It was all a misunderstanding. LINKS: Here's Densha de Go! Plug & Play on Amazon Japan https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/dp/B08D9H9GB6 FULL TEARDOWN HERE - Showing all the chips : https://mazu-bunkai.com/bunkai-wp/engineering/7181/ (Thanks for the link Robert) EXTRA INFO : I) The recess in the top of the controller is to hold a train driver's pocket watch (mimicking a real Japanese train). II) The percentage shown when the train departs indicates how full the train is. (Thanks to Hale for that one) III) Here’s the GameFAQs translation of the manual https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/921050-densha-de-go-final/faqs/34947 00:00 Start 02:45 The controller 04:00 Power on 06:00 The game explained 11:10 Pros & Cons 14:08 Extras 15:42 Surprisingly decent 3D 16:57 Inside the case (SEE VID DESCRIPTION FOR MORE) 17:50 The Music CD 18:42 Wrap up NOTE - The video description is the only place where extra information can be attached to a video after it has been uploaded.

A) A while ago I coined the phrase ‘A cheese sandwich video’ to describe a simple video that’s exactly what it is and nothing more - just like a cheese sandwich is a sandwich containing cheese. A cheese sandwich video is simpler video that doesn’t take weeks to assemble. It’s usually a brief demonstration of one item. If you see a cheese sandwich image pop up at the start of a video - it's a sign to expect a less complicated and elaborate video. Sometimes all a product needs (or deserves) is a simple demonstration - and that’s where the ‘cheese sandwich‘ video comes in. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- Merchandise ----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Digital Compact Cassette in 2020 - and beyond

Digital Compact Cassette in 2020 - and beyond

Philips Digital Compact Cassette was killed-off in 1996. So here's a video about 2020’s new DCC album releases. Ben Liebrand’s Iconic Groove and Late Night Sci-Fi from Ancient Fan Death Studios. Information regarding the 'Paid Promotion' indicator. I have added the 'Paid Promotion' tag as whilst no money changed hands in return for me making this video - and there are no sponsored or affiliated links related to the content, I was sent the items shown for free. This can be considered to be 'Payment in Kind' - and since the video will be helping to promote these titles, as I can see it - that's the definition of a 'Paid Promotion'. 00:00 Start 00:19 Late Night Sci-Fi 02:50 Iconic Groove Media Box 04:28 Ben Liebrand DCC 08:17 How they record DCCs 10:46 Wrap-up 11:09 Credits LINKS (non affiliated) Late Night Sci-Fi on Bandcamp https://gorgeouslights.bandcamp.com/album/late-night-sci-fi Ben Liebrand - Iconic Groove https://www.dccmuseum.com/cassettes/our-dcc-releases/ben-liebrand-iconic-groove-dcc-release-by-the-dcc-museum/ DCC Museum Patreon https://www.patreon.com/dccmuseum Thanks To Ralf at the DCC Museum.

A random record? You can bet on it.

I5l75romOXY | 03 Oct 2020

A random record? You can bet on it.

A look at a Horse Racing game that uses Random 'Sixteen Sided' Records to determine the winner. Wikipedia Article about multisided records https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multisided_record If you’re wondering about how the odds for the races worked - there’s a series of odds sheets that are shuffled to randomise the odds for a race. There’s a load more stuff relating to odds and each way bets and what-have-you and they all combine to make this more like a maths exam than a fun game. I’m someone who has bet on horses plenty of times over the years but the way the rules for this game have been structured and explained just sound like gobbledegook. Note: Only the first (1973) pressing of the Monty Python Record ‘Matching Tie & Handkerchief’ had a double spiral side B. Subsequent pressings had the two audio tracks stitched together sequentially. Apparently the album art I’ve grabbed for this video is of the US release that most likely won’t have a double spiral. FAQs Q) Why are there comments from a week ago when this video has just gone live today? A) Patrons usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out.

If you see the image pop up at the start of a video - it's a sign to expect a less complicated and elaborate video. Sometimes all a product needs (or deserves) is a simple demonstration - and that’s where these kinds of videos fit in. There's nothing wrong with a cheese sandwich, but if you were expecting to get a steak dinner you might be disappointed if a cheese sandwich turns up. It's all about setting expectations. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

REVIEW: Possibly the last half-decent Cassette Boombox...in the world

Extra Vid: VFD Watch / Unsolicited submissions.

I was sent a Vacuum Fluorescent Watch from a nice chap in Russia that runs this Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/NixieWatchStore - it's very trusting of him, but it could easily have ended up not getting shown at all, and that’d be a shame given the work put into it. I've demoed the watch in this video because it gave me the opportunity to pass on an important message about sending unsolicited packages and the likelihood of them not getting to me. If you've got something unusual that you think I'd be interested in - please check prior to sending it. *This watch has been donated to a charity auction where it can raise money for a good cause.

UPDATE - Ignore my slight confusion over the power lead orientation - I can now see that it can only connect one way round. Those DIN plug pins and sockets are a lot clearer on the camera footage than from my old eyes. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

A Philips Boombox that’s ashamed of the cassette

If you want a new stereo cassette ‘boombox’ in 2020 there are very few options. If it was left up to ‘Philips’ you wouldn’t even know this one existed.

A) A while ago I coined the phrase ‘A cheese sandwich video’ to describe a simple video that’s exactly what it is and nothing more - just like a cheese sandwich is a sandwich containing cheese. A cheese sandwich video is simpler video that doesn’t take weeks to assemble. It’s usually a brief demonstration of one item. If you see a cheese sandwich image pop up at the start of a video - it's a sign to expect a less complicated and elaborate video. Sometimes all a product needs (or deserves) is a simple demonstration - and that’s where the ‘cheese sandwich‘ video comes in. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Mid ’70s tape-deck natural selection and a Japanese time-machine dead-end

I’ve imported a cassette deck that has an uncommon feature. Showing this oddity creates an opportunity to talk about the accelerated evolution of cassette deck design in the mid 1970s. Attributions & Links: The First Stereo Cassette Recorder (VWestlife Youtube) https://youtu.be/V6kfdtqrNvc HiFi Brochures & Pictures: https://www.hifiengine.com https://www.hifi-archiv.info https://www.cassettedeck.org Pioneer Company History: https://global.pioneer/en/info/history/chronology/ Green Screen Explosion: https://youtu.be/Q7KmAe8_jZE 00:00 Intro 00:31 Favourite things 01:14 This thing 03:52 1970s Evolution 08:44 Pushing all the wrong buttons 10:02 Timer Demo 13:24 Logo trivia 13:54 A future repair video? AFFILIATED EBAY LINK - For Reel style tapes - You can see a gold one of these in this video. https://ebay.to/2DaJSZR A statement regarding Handbrakes I don’t have a stance on how anyone should use their handbrake - I’ve always pushed the button out of habit because that’s what my driving instructor in the 1980s taught me to do - even though on a 2015 car it apparently doesn’t make any sense and according to some car mechanics is more likely to stretch the cable than just letting it ratchet. One chap even told me his car’s manual explains that you definitely shouldn’t press the button in order to know that it’s properly engaged. Apparently on one model of car, the button had a habit of getting stuck in and as a result the hand brake didn’t latch - so there were some incidents of parked cars rolling away and crashing. This is all just dust in the wind though as manual handbrakes are rapidly being phased out and in a few years you’ll struggle to find one on a new car. I just wanted to use this an example of a piece of advice that people repeat to one another, pass down through the generations, without finding out whether it’s accurate. A statement regarding TIMED RECORDING and the PAUSE key. A number of people have mentioned that the machine should automatically release the pause when the timer function is activated (to keep the pinch roller off the capstan until it’s required). It is very possible that my deck is malfunctioning as it does not release the pause automatically (I’ve tried). This deck was in a non-functional state when I got it and still has one known fault that requires a part that is no longer available . It is very possible this part is also responsible for automatically deactivating the pause. I’ll explain more in the repair video in a few weeks. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Living the dream with a self-playing SEGA Grand Piano

XhoYRo1vRuI | 30 May 2020

Living the dream with a self-playing SEGA Grand Piano

I’ve always wanted a self-playing Grand Piano. I just had to compromise on the grand. LINKS: EBAY LINK (AFFILIATED) https://ebay.to/3cRRk8Z Will Smiley’s Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs2MsAqF_blkJ6KdumK_LRg Anders Enger Jensen’s Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/HariboOSX Q) Isn’t this called a 'Player Piano'? A) I was initially going to call them that, but I had a vague feeling that name might not be factually correct. I checked and apparently a piano like a Yamaha Disklavier is not a ‘Player Piano’. It seems that ‘Player Pianos’ require a degree of continuous human manipulation to play - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_piano So this toy isn’t technically a ‘player piano’ it’s more like a mini ‘Reproducing Piano’. However since that’s a term unfamiliar to most people (myself included) I chose to substitute the more easily understandable ‘self-playing piano’ instead. This is one of those ones where you can’t win for losing. Use the commonly used term and its wrong, use the correct term and no one knows what you’re talking about. Q) I think your audio output problem is to do with... (insert random guess here, probably something about power supplies) A) I tried four different power supplies and various 3.5mm patch leads, also tried ferrite cores on the power and line out wires - also played it out in the garden to see if it was anything to do with wireless electrical interference. The noise persisted. The long and short of it is that it’s just a bit knackered. The audio issue is present on the internal speaker too, but to a lesser degree. It isn’t present on manually played piano audio - just during automatic playback, both internal and from SD. It’s just some dodgy components in the player circuitry that are on their way out after thirteen years, probably surface mount capacitors. Yes they shouldn’t be, but they are, stuff happens. This should be considered a warning to anyone thinking of buying one of these as this might well be a common problem. Q) It’s from Sega Toys not Sega A) Yep Q) Why didn’t you play (insert song here) A) Unfortunately it’s not practical to play every song in a quick video Q) Why didn’t you show the internals A) I didn’t want to break it - but you can see them here: http://www.nax.ne.jp/~rider/piano/index.html (It looks much how you’d imagine - a load of electromagnets and a circuit board). ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Mega Minidisc Unwrap (FULL VERSION) 73 mins of Junk

I bought a load of untested Minidisc players from Japan. I'm still not sure why. This video too long? Watch this shorter version instead: https://youtu.be/Suss1o5Oac0 UPDATE: Since making the video, I spent the best part of another day messing about with the players that couldn’t read a disc and managed to coax a few more into working. So now the total number of functioning players is up to 30, that’s better than half. Although some of these are really pretty nasty looking and more than a bit flakey when it comes to reading discs. My video about Buying from Japanese Auctions: https://youtu.be/QrlgAvJI3WU FAQs Hey I didn't get a notification for this video. Youtube is broken. What's going on - It's the end of times...etc - That was intentional. I only put the notification on the abridged version, this one is linked to from that. Two notifications for two versions of the same video seemed like overkill. I don't want to spam anyone's inbox. Even if you can’t click the link in the description - this video will appear in ‘Recent Uploads’ or something like that - so no one will accidentally miss it. Hey how come there are comments on this video from a week ago? Patreon Supporters get to see the videos early. ANOTHER EARLIER UPDATE While editing the video I realised that the earbuds at 1:00:20 are from a mobile phone. Thanks. Bye. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Polish Sound Postcards (Pocztówka Dźwiękowa)

I’m laying my cards on the table…the turntable. You might have encountered the occasional novelty recording on laminated card - perhaps given away as a promotional tool, inserted in a magazine or on the back of a cereal box. However did you know that in 1960s & 70s Poland, the Sound Postcard was a popular budget format for new music releases. Links A video about the Russian Ribs/X-ray/Bones Records https://youtu.be/XMCCYnDvpJQ A website about the Ribs - https://x-rayaudio.squarespace.com A video about the Polish Sound Postcards https://youtu.be/inW2Z7ObLxs Polish Wikipedia Article about Sound Postcards https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocztówka_dźwiękowa Links to most of the songs I play clips from are below: https://youtu.be/gq532C1XkJQ https://youtu.be/RgS6EGPprHA https://youtu.be/CmJAgzRdPE4 https://youtu.be/68uVkuRbO5E https://youtu.be/ZxNYhUQbODs https://youtu.be/kgmU1x5aW3M https://youtu.be/HMiP09NHkM8 https://youtu.be/aFHZfzdDT9s https://youtu.be/dFhhw021tRc These are all the ones I could find.

Detecting Mild Sleep Apnea with a pulse oximeter

Detecting Mild Sleep Apnea with a pulse oximeter

Something weird was going on with my sleep - it turned out to be sleep apnea. There's a gadget category which lets you monitor yourself in the comfort of your home and also can help towards reducing the effects of the condition in some mild cases. I haven’t put an affiliated link to the exact Pule Oximeter I bought as while it does work, it doesn’t seem resilient and I’m sure there are (or will soon be) better options for the money. However here are affiliated links to the general product category on Amazon UK https://amzn.to/2KvG1qt US https://amzn.to/3cFzExa (Again - I repeat these are Affiliated Links - to see what this means - keep reading to the bottom). All these devices seem a bit janky at the moment, so choose carefully or perhaps wait a while until they improve or this idea gets incorporated into a smart-watch from a company like Fitbit or Apple (or insert other company you prefer here)...and yes some Fitbits can already measure blood oxygen - but at the moment they only provide very basic generalised results and more importantly they don’t give alerts for low sp02 - so unfortunately currently aren’t a viable alternative to the category of devices I’m currently using.. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

The novel packaging of the DCC Documentary Blu-ray

The novel packaging of the DCC Documentary Blu-ray

A video looking at the unusual packaging for the Blu-ray release of the DCC Documentary. (Non-Affliliated Link) https://ebay.to/3dFW4Qe The full documentary can be viewed on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/TIzU5K76gBA PFAQ (Predicted FAQ) Q) Why is there a picture of a cheese sandwich on screen at the beginning? A) A while ago I coined the phrase ‘A cheese sandwich video’ to describe a simple video that’s exactly what it is and nothing more - just like a cheese sandwich is a sandwich containing cheese. These types of videos don’t take weeks to assemble. They’re often a brief demonstration of an item. If you see the cheese sandwich image pop up at the start of a video - it's a sign to expect a less complicated and elaborate video. Sometimes all a product needs is a simple demonstration - and that’s where the cheese sandwich video comes in. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

A leisurely look at the classic Sony TC-765 Reel to Reel Tape Recorder

Thanks to a very generous donation I temporarily have a classic Sony Reel to Reel in the house. Before I pass this on to a friend, I’m checking it out to see what works and what needs work. Join me as stay in and test it out while passing on a few basic tips for anyone unfamiliar with open reel machines. Reel to Reel Tape Recorder section on eBay (Affiliated Link) https://ebay.to/2wgfESf Here’s my video about the Nixielyzer which appears near the beginning https://youtu.be/6kVIciuZtwM All music featured in this video is from the Youtube Audio Library - search in the Jazz & Blues category for tracks by Tracktribe - https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music?nv=1 Extra special thanks to Wilson for donating the recorder and to Andy for picking it up for me. I buy my tape reels from https://www.thomann.de/intl/recording_tape.html? The power button was straightened out after making the video - I didn’t notice it was wonky until someone pointed this out on Patreon. I also spotted a slight imbalance on the zero rest position on the VU needles - so adjusted this using a screw driver in the holes provided for this purpose below each meter. In some shots it shows correctly as the video was shot out of sequence. I won’t be doing any repair work on this machine. I’m just the intermediary - this is a project for a friend. It’s currently in storage until it can be delivered. He’s advised me that the woodwork will be getting replaced with proper solid wood panels - turns out he’s a part time carpenter and apparently pretty good with electronics too. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

The Magnetic Tape Viewer - see the sound on a tape

The Magnetic Tape Viewer - see the sound on a tape

An intriguing piece of retro gadgetry that lets you view the magnetic patterns recorded on tape. A modern day version can be found here: https://store.arnoldmagnetics.com/product/284/magnetic-viewer-b-1022 Special thanks to Andy on Twitter who first made me aware of this device back in 2016 https://twitter.com/andyAVAVsystems/status/786861354594492416?s=20 FAQs Q) CAN IT SEE WHATS ON A FLOPPY DISK? A) No - It didn’t show anything on a 5.25” floppy I tested (BOTH SIDES) Considering the viewer is pretty much maxed-out for resolution by an 8 track, (8 tracks recorded on a tape 1/4” wide at 3.75 ips) I’d imagine that anything more dense than this will be beyond the capabilities of what can be displayed by the device. I’ll try an 8” disk soon - but I would be shocked if it shows anything for the same density reasons Q) You can buy these sheets of magnetic viewing paper that do the same thing. A) They don’t have the same resolution or sensitivity - at least the ones I’ve bought don’t. They can’t show the magnetic signal and track layout on a tape. Nothing registered when I tried. Q) You can use this fluid stuff that does the same job A) A few people are mentioning various ways to do this with a liquid smeared on the tape - These were known about - and likely made by 3M as well - but one reason for the development of the magnetic tape viewer was that it was a ‘non destructive’ way to read the tape - here’s an except form their patent application where they mention one of the existing and alternative methods to do the same thing. “Heretofore magnetic signals recorded on magnetic tape have in a sense been rendered visible by smearing finely divided ferromagnetic material over the tape and allowing it to migrate to points of maximum magnetic flux. Besides being slow and messy this procedure involved the greater disadvantage that thorough cleaning of the recording medium was required to prevent the applied ferromagnetic material from supplying false signals. This procedure is treated in the television industry as unacceptable for the splicing of magnetic recording tape and splicing has instead been confined to tape areas in which the picture is blanked out.” Q) Who is the voice in the Datsun Commercial?

Sony NW-A55 Digital Walkman REVIEW

Sony NW-A55 Digital Walkman REVIEW

A review of the Sony NW-A55 Walkman - and why it’s not my favourite DAP. All opinions expressed in this video are those of a person with personal opinions. Feel free to express an alternative opinion by buying a NW-A55 Walkman from the links below.

The Minidisc Label Printer

E8yxCKP1h5I | 08 Feb 2020

The Minidisc Label Printer

For the 1990s Minidisc enthusiast who has everything (except a Minidisc Label Printer). Affiliated Links: A chap on Patreon commented on the ‘killer track list’ on the Hip Hop MD - Its straight off a recent compilation - Four CDs - 72 Tracks all with CD Text £4.40 Amazon UK https://amzn.to/2tAN8cs (affiliated link) It’s also worth looking at the ‘frequently bought together’ list for some similar deals. LABELS: A few comments regarding why not just use a computer printer and standard adhesive labels instead. Many of us did, but the clever aspect of this machine is its ability to read in the track titles automatically. No typing required. I thought it was a novelty worth sharing because of that feature. If it had been a label printer with a querty keyboard which was used to manually enter the track names, that would have held no interest to me and wouldn't have warranted a video. There have been a few suggestions of transplanting other labels into the cases. There are cut-out designs on the Sony Labels - I'd imagine these are unique to this printer. Square holes along the length of the label strip in-between each label. These holes are used by the machine to advance and to identify the label status. Generic labels would likely not be manufactured with identical cut-outs. It's not a big deal though - I'm just showing some odd old tech that I thought was interesting. It doesn't have to work forever, just long enough to document it for posterity in a video...which it did. Mission complete. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

REVIEW: Majority HiFi Tuner (FM/DAB/Internet Radio) & Network Music Streamer. Cheap at 1/2 the price

REVIEW: Majority HiFi Tuner (FM/DAB/Internet Radio) & Network Music Streamer. Cheap at 1/2 the price

A DAB radio, FM Radio, Internet Radio, Network Music Streamer, Music File Player, Spotify Connect Receiver and Bluetooth Receiver - a bit of a ‘jack of all trades...master of none’ but if you buy one on the right day (which might now only exist in the past) you can/could get a good deal. AMAZON LINKS (all affiliated) UK: https://amzn.to/2GdgCjh DE: https://amzn.to/2RGODxW FR: https://amzn.to/2TPs2lo ES: https://amzn.to/30L8Jv9 While the only finish currently available in the UK is Black - you can get both Black and Silver in some other countries. As it's a DAB Radio Receiver - it's only sold in countries with DAB Radio Broadcasts (So not USA, or CANADA etc - they have HD Radio and Sirius instead) Extra info - a few patrons have mentioned the similarity of the menus to various other radios from companies including Roberts - it appears that they must share a common chipset or a slight variation of it. This is no surprise really - as we’ve seen with the modern cassette decks - they’re just assembled from a few ready made components sourced from various suppliers. Amp from here, power supply from there, chipset from somewhere else... etc. Stick a badge on it and Bob’s your uncle. The important things to take from this though are not to overpay for the same internals just to get a familiar logo on the front..but also to be aware that this operating system appears to be quite common - and it’s lacking in some areas. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

How do I bid on Japanese auctions? What are the costs?

How do I bid on Japanese auctions? What are the costs?

Over the last few years I’ve featured a number of interesting products that were only for sale to the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM). While some were bought via eBay and others from Amazon.jp, many of the older, more unusual devices were bought through the Japanese Yahoo Auctions. This video explains how I go about doing this and how the costs can mount up. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

Kenwood - The masters of desirable yet attainable Hi-Fi

50kWgke-9hg | 11 Jan 2020

Kenwood - The masters of desirable yet attainable Hi-Fi

A bit of history, some reminiscing and a demo - its all in this video about Kenwood. Kenwood have been around since the 1960s and the 1940s (the video explains more) - but it’s their 1980s and 1990s black components full of buttons, clever features and flashing lights that I remember lusting after. While this period might not have been Kenwood at their best, it’s the Kenwood I know best and this video looks at two components from this era. Potential future FAQ Answer The Youtube Audio Library Track https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/ I use at the end is called ‘Good Times’ it is by Patrick Patrikios and can be downloaded here: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary_download?vid=b1dd0d9ea6e9273c …and yes, I think I may have recorded it just a bit hot...oh and I've been told the Dolby C demo sounds a bit odd (I couldn’t tell as I’ve got a head cold that’s affecting my hearing) however I tend not to use Dolby C or any noise reduction for recording - I’m fine with the hiss (what little I can hear of it now) and eschewing NR means a tape can be played back on any deck. A couple of people on Patreon pointed out that a possible reason that 16 was chosen as a maximum limit for the tape repeat function was down to using a 4 bit counter. So I'd expect to see this tidbit mentioned a few times in the comments too. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Retrotech: Recordable 'Laserdisc'

Recordable ‘Laserdisc’ wasn’t sold to the public but really did exist and I've got one to show you. This video features Sony CRVdisc - a 12" Recordable Laser Videodisc system designed for professional use. Destined to be thrown away in a skip* but rescued for one last job. Thanks to Dave & Ken on Patreon for their help with this one. Special thanks to Paul for donating (and delivering) the machine and discs. Links to things mentioned: A video about Editdroid - The Lucasfilm editing system which used Laserdiscs as a proxy https://youtu.be/z99wO2utddo BBC News over the years https://www.desandmick.co.uk/television/news/bbcnews/ Predicted ‘correction’ You might have noticed that the specs for the LVR-5000 show it could record 43,500 stills - whereas in the video I mentioned my LVR-6000 recorded 36,250 stills. Yep both facts are true and accurate. I don’t know why the LVR-6000 recorded fewer stills than its predecessor- but it did. I checked the disc and it only goes up to 36,501 (the first recordable frame is number 1). Real corrections and Addendums. The CRVplayer I mentioned that didn’t sell on eBay wasn’t £15 - it was £25 https://picclick.co.uk/Sony-LVR-6000-LVS-6000-Lazer-disc-recorder-332799452411.html Clarification: As we all know - CD-Rs can be written in multi sessions as long as they aren’t finalised.

How not to dink a record - A masterclass in bad dinking

f_vDGwfsQkM | 08 Dec 2019

How not to dink a record - A masterclass in bad dinking

It seems I have a bit of a dinking problem. I guess I’m just not cut out to be a professional dinker. We can’t all live the dinking dream. It’ll no doubt leave a big hole in my life. Dinker Tools on eBay (affiliated link) https://ebay.to/2QQuLt8 Yes, of course ‘I’m doing it wrong', but this is just what happened when I gave it a go. Perhaps in the right hands these tools are capable of producing perfect results every time, but it seems my hands aren’t the right hands and maybe my old records are just too brittle. However even if they did work perfectly - _in my opinion_ they both take too long and risk damaging the records Here is a video of a proper dinker https://youtu.be/LkKV6H7O4Jo I've been advised by the nice people on Patreon that the first tool I used is actually something that was designed for punching holes in sheet metal - an example use for this tool was cutting a plug hole in a sink. I'd like to state that *MY DINKING DAYS ARE OVER* - I just bought the Dinking tools to follow up the queries about dinking that were posted under the 1949 45s video. I've got no need to dink any more records so I've hung up my Dinkers to spend more time with my family. MERCH!

I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to AMAZON Sites (including, but not limited to Amazon US/UK/DE/ES/FR/NL/IT/CAN) FAQs Q) Why the background music A) Unfortunately the microphone was picking up some unpleasant asthmatic wheezing whenever I wasn’t speaking - so in editing I muted the audio in these sections. Unfortunately this made the video sound odd every time the sound cut out entirely. So I added background music off an old BGM system to cover up the abrupt audio level changes. It was either this - or delete the whole video and forget about it. Q) Why does the BGM continue over the end credits A) Total ineptitude Q) Why didn’t/don’t you (insert suggestion here) A) See section above where I mentioned how I’ll never need or want to dink another record. I only bought these dinking tools to do a video about dinking. I don’t generally play singles - other than these fifty scratched up 45s I bought via ebay for £10, I haven’t got any I’ve bought for listening to for pleasure. Q) Did you know the rubber bits come off that vice A) I didn’t, but I do now PFAQ (Predicted FAQ) Q) Why is there a picture of a cheese sandwich on screen at the beginning? A) A while ago on Patreon I coined the phrase ‘A cheese sandwich video’ to describe a simple video that’s exactly what it is and nothing more - just like a cheese sandwich is a sandwich containing cheese. A cheese sandwich video is simpler video that doesn’t take weeks to assemble. It’s usually a brief demonstration of one item. If you see a cheese sandwich image pop up at the start of a video - it's a sign to expect a less complicated and elaborate video. Sometimes all a product needs (or deserves) is a simple demonstration - and that’s where the ‘cheese sandwich‘ video comes in.

The stretch 'Walkman' - fixed-up & shown-off

The stretch 'Walkman' - fixed-up & shown-off

Sony occasionally repurposed the Walkman cassette mechanisms for devices like this impressive do-it-all travel companion for the international (walk)man of mystery. Suitable for carrying in a briefcase, recording meetings and voice memos, working as an alarm clock, catching up on news from back home and listening to cassettes on the plane. UPDATE: I noticed in the closeups that a few parts of the Walkman needed another clean - so after the video was edited I’ve gone back and done this. Specifically there’s a bit of belt residue that you can see on the tape door in some shots. That stuff gets everywhere - you’ll also see it on my fingers in the review of the 40th Anniversary Walkman. Belt purchased from https://fixyouraudio.com There’s still time before Christmas to blow your hard earned money on some worthless merch. -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch Comedy outro available on its own here: https://youtu.be/DhwEk1vIQKw Playlist of these available here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLN2yCnHTG_6rlyYFpwUX2u0m_HVHpHO0F Don’t forget to like that bell and thumb up the subscribe. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* (The statement above is invisible). ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

Gixie Clock: Redemption

I've received the all-new re-engineered replacement for my Gixie Clock - here's a full review. The Gixie is a digital clock that displays time using six removable glass tubes containing etched acrylic panels edge-lit by multicolour LEDs. The Gixie Clock is available from https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gixie-clock-most-beautiful-nixie-tube-clock--2 (this is not an affiliated link) FULL DISCLOSURE: The two boxed clocks seen in this video were sent to me for free (other than £18 duty and handling fees I paid the courier at the door - well I gave him £20 because I didn't have any change and neither did he). I have not been paid to make this video. I am not on commission.The people who sent it over said it was up to me whether or not I made a video, but they just wanted me to see the updated one anyway. I’m not sure whether it counts as a Paid Promotion because I got a free clock (but I’ve ticked the Paid Promotion box to be on the safe side) - I'll be giving the new spare one away and the other one is a replacement for my broken original that I paid for. It's up to you to make your mind up if you think this video is honest or not - but whether or not you buy a clock doesn't matter one jot to me. PFAQ (Predicted FAQ) Q) Why is there a picture of a cheese sandwich on screen at the beginning? A) A while ago on Patreon I coined the phrase ‘A cheese sandwich video’ to describe a simple video that’s exactly what it is and nothing more - just like a cheese sandwich is a sandwich containing cheese. A cheese sandwich video is simpler video that doesn’t take weeks to assemble. It’s usually a brief demonstration of one item. If you see a cheese sandwich image pop up at the start of a video - it's a sign to expect a less complicated and elaborate video. Sometimes all a product needs (or deserves) is a simple demonstration - and that’s where the ‘cheese sandwich‘ video comes in. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

How a forgotten 1949 Format War shaped the future of records

hbFgVjijrHI | 09 Nov 2019

How a forgotten 1949 Format War shaped the future of records

Once upon a time the 45 and the LP were rival formats. This video tells the story how RCAs beef with Columbia ended up shaping the future of popular music. This is a video about the Format War of 1949. Things like 12" 45s, 45 RPM Albums, EPs, 16rpm records, styrene singles and 45s with a raised stepped ridge around the centre that aids grip when stacked don't feature in this story because they were introduced after the conclusion of this particular story. Regarding the question posed at the end - a few people have mentioned that the record players in their country had single adaptors. This was not unusual. I've demonstrated a few turntables on this channel with the built-in 45 adaptors. If your turntable didn't have a built in adaptor - you could buy one. However that's the result - not the cause. The records came first - the players accommodated the type of records sold in that country. A country could have chosen to go with small or large holes - the decision on which way they went was the thing of interest - what was the common denominator? Why was a large spindle hole chosen in Germany, but a small one in the UK? We think we have an answer - it seems that Commonwealth countries went with the small hole and countries with a US armed forces presence after the war were more inclined towards the large hole. However if you know any other info on this - please share.

120V 60Hz from a power tool battery...but check the small print first

120V 60Hz from a power tool battery...but check the small print first

The Ryobi Inverter takes an 18V power tool battery and turns it into a power outlet - but it might not be as useful as you think. (Expand This Text Box to read more) IMPORTANT NOTE: For 120V 60Hz I will *continue to use my existing setup* - shown at 02:20 and 05:23. It isn’t as neat, but it does not generate a buzz. The only reason I mention this here is that there may be suggestions of alternative devices, filters, UPS things and power banks etc that might possibly achieve what I’m already achieving with my existing setup... I’m just going to keep using that. Just a couple of extra things UPS devices are HEAVY - the cost of importing a decent one from the USA to the UK is prohibitive. That’s if you can find anyone willing to ship one to here. There’s also all the regulations about transporting batteries on planes now (even in cargo). The Ryobi 40V version of this inverter does use pure sine - but they don’t sell the 40V battery system here in the UK. So again it’s back to importing a battery - pricey and potentially problematic. Also since there’s no 230V charger for the Ryobi 40V system - that would be a big downside. I don’t want to be running a charger through a step down transformer for hours on end. That would also be a concern with any US sourced UPS or Portable Power Station - the power input would be 120V so again that would mean running or charging them through a step down power transformer - it’s all just a bit messy and unsuitable. The idea of trying this Ryobi system was to minimise clutter and come up with a neater solution to my existing setup. All these alternatives do the opposite. So I’ll just keep using my existing system that works well. I got this Ryobi inverter to see if it would be worth recommending this to other people in the UK with similar requirements to myself, but it isn’t.

The Glitchy Clock - Taking one for the team

See the new review of a re-engineered Gixie clock here: https://youtu.be/IuOxfHF-azs Remember the Cronixie clock kit I assembled a while ago? - https://youtu.be/miqN2gR1Zns Here’s the Gixie clock - It's similar but ready-made and this one encloses its edge-lit acrylic digit panels inside tubes. Whilst the idea definitely has merit, the implementation on this early production version has more than a few issues. Hopefully all the problems have been ironed out by now - here’s the Indiegogo page: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gixie-clock-most-beautiful-nixie-tube-clock--2 UPDATE: According to the Indigogo page the issues with mine should not be present on the current batch: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gixie-clock-most-beautiful-nixie-tube-clock--2#/updates/all See the new review of a re-engineered Gixie clock here: https://youtu.be/IuOxfHF-azs PFAQ (Predicted FAQ) Q) Why is there a picture of a cheese sandwich on screen at the beginning?

All these organisations do invaluable work. The reason APH are mentioned specifically in this video is because they made the machine I’m demonstrating.

LASER FX * (1988) 'From the Sound Stages of Hollywood to your home'

For thirty years I’ve wondered what this ‘80s laser music visualiser looked like in action. Now I finally get to find out - and also discover the surprising secrets of the ingenious internals. The music used in this video was Bok Choi by Slynk & Heart Break by Vibe Tracks - both from the YouTube audio library. https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/ FAQs Q) Can this show Oscilloscope music? A) No More answer - Oscilloscope music relies on extremely precise positioning of an image on the X & Y axis. This device has a mirror attached to rubber bands so can draw random squiggles. Precise and Random aren’t bedfellows. In addition this only uses one channel. You can’t even draw 'scope music on an oscilloscope with just the one channel.

Automated Chess - Losing to a Ghost

Automated Chess - Losing to a Ghost

Square Off - the app-connected computer chess board that moves its own pieces. Manufacturers Website https://squareoffnow.com Affiliated Amazon Links US: https://amzn.to/2NXASKW Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/2Nbim26 Amazon DE: https://amzn.to/32BlgRg FAQs WHAT'S INSIDE THE BOARD? A few people queried why I didn't show the inside workings. It honestly just didn't cross my mind. I imagine everyone here can already picture exactly what will be inside without having to see it. It's going to be a small circuit board attached to something that looks a bit like a flatbed X/Y plotter arm with a magnet on the end. I thought about going back and adding a section in to show the internals for the sake of completeness - but I couldn't see a way to open it non-destructively. However if you really really are desperate to see the insides - then just search for 'Inside Magic Chessboard' on youtube - but you'll almost certainly wish that you hadn't bothered. Q) How does it deal with castling? A) You can see this (twice) in the video - watch the section with the streamed game. Q) How does it deal with pawn promotion A: Answer from here: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/square-off-chess-set?page=3 “When you are promoting a pawn the app pops up with four choices Queen (the board comes with two), Rook, Knight, Bishop. You pick your promotion and it recognizes it from there.” Q) How does the little horse ‘jump over’ the other pieces? A) There’s no anti-gravity technology employed - but you can see the Knight manoeuvring around pieces at 8:53 Q) Where did you get that phone stand A) It was included in the box - it’s the same as this one on Amazon (affiliated link) https://amzn.to/32Gnpez Q) That wasn't Check Mate in McMullet & Blowhard? A) It wasn't a real beard either. CORRECTION: It’s approx 30 years since I last played chess, not 20 as stated in the video. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Music Albums on Game Cartridges (C64 & Megadrive)

N1cWXamGZmM | 02 Sep 2019

Music Albums on Game Cartridges (C64 & Megadrive)

Looking at a couple of music releases on Computer/Game Cartridges DUB CRT - https://datadoor.net/dubcrt/ Technoptimistic - https://remute.bandcamp.com/album/technoptimistic You can listen to the DUB CRT tracks (and watch the videos) here: https://datadoor.bandcamp.com/album/dubcrt/ With regard to my request at the end - there have been lots of suggestions of ‘you could do something I suppose with a Raspberry Pi’ also many have sent me the results of their google search - that’s something I’ve already tried over the years. A search of what exists already brings up expensive devices from Critter & Guitari (all their analog devices are discontinued) - they just do HDMI now and their range wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. A search also brings up some old abandoned projects. One of the Patrons to the channel is trying to build one of these now so it will be interesting to see how that goes. There have been a few people mentioning £800 video performance devices - No. I’m thinking £50ish (that seems plenty - given the current cost of Pi type power) - I’m not looking public performance, no knob twiddling or button pushing to change the output. I’d want something that you’d just turn on and it would cycle through it’s display modes. So just to recap the idea - I mentioned the Atari Video music as it’s a consumer device that takes audio in and outputs video. However it’s not perfect it’s 40-odd years old and I already own one - that was just a base point to explain the concept of the idea. Imagine today’s cheap compact computing power being put to the same purpose. Imagine a box that can take in audio and output a Milkdrop style visualiser. You’ll see lots of people mentioning old consoles too - those get their audio from their built in CD player, they are also large and require wall power. So summary.. 2019 low power cheap tech in a box - audio in - video out - proper visualiser, like Milkdrop or ITunes Visualiser not just some glitchy random nonsense - when it’s on its on and working straight away. No keyboard, configuration, messing about with settings - a Visualiser in a box. Yes it doesn’t exist and that’s why I suggested it. You won’t find this with a google search - it wasn’t a request for someone to do google search for me - it was a suggestion of an idea for anyone with time on their hands to explore. I’m not a techy - loads of people out there are and there’s probably one who’s sat on their hands not knowing what project to start work on next and perhaps this will be the idea that sparks something. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- (New items added) https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

Sony's proto-Walkman that went to the moon*

July 1969 Man landed on the moon. July 1979 Sony released the Walkman. Sony’s TC-50 from 1968 connects these events. *A Sony TC-50 onboard Apollo 10 *orbited* the moon in May 1969. If you want to know what music the Apollo astronauts played on their Sony TC-50’s - here’s an article https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/12/mickey-kapp-apollo-11-astro-mixtapes ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

Space age audio - fifty years on

iRTLGjWyxTw | 18 Jul 2019

Space age audio - fifty years on

The Apollo 11 moon landing encounters the Philips UFO. Depending upon what source you read, the date for the introduction of the Philips UFO turntable might vary. Multiple sources indicate that the design was done by Patrice Dupont in 1969 - these include https://sound-of-design.de/en/node/188 - and the book “L'utopie du tout plastique : 1960-1973”. However other online sources state the GF303 was manufactured from 1972-1974. Irrespective of which one is correct, it’s irrefutably a classic space-age design. COMMENTS: Unfortunately as soon as this video was posted the comments were immediately inundated with individuals promoting their own agendas and conspiracy theories. As a result of this, other viewers complained that the comments needed moderating because of all the spam. I therefore pinned a notice to advise that comments would be moderated - however that idea got the free speech advocates up in arms. So here's what I'm doing - I'm just going to let the comments do their own thing - I won't be reading them and I won't be moderating them. I will be offline today, working on another video. It's up to each individual to decide whether to read the comments. The ratio of comments to views is one stat to keep in mind though if you do choose to read them. Approximately only 1% of viewers comment on any given video. Most comments are friendly and helpful - the unpleasant ones only represent a fraction of that one percent of viewers. So it might be wise not to spend too long thinking about a statistical rounding error. If anyone wants to post their agenda on YouTube they should make their own video about it rather than trying to piggyback on a video about a record player. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

Tanashin - the last cassette mechs & Aldi's 2019 Boombox

The Tanashin cassette deck mechanism is used in both the most expensive new cassette decks and junk like this Aldi boombox. It is a low end mechanism, a hangover from budget boomboxes of the past, but for better or worse its also the last mech standing and with a bit of care can be implemented far better than this.

On reflection, LCD screen rear-view mirror dash-cams probably weren’t worth looking into

NiOHnUnog68 | 06 Jul 2019

On reflection, LCD screen rear-view mirror dash-cams probably weren’t worth looking into

A dash-cam built in to a traditional rear view mirror could be a good idea, but when it replaces the mirror with a video display, it just doesn’t work with my eyes. In the video I explain the issues. If you don’t agree then buy one - that’s fine, you be you, but I’ll be steering clear. I much prefer a standard dash-cam and the model I’ve been using successfully for the last year is this one: (Affiliated links) UK https://amzn.to/2YBbTzt US https://amzn.to/2LFYKSb CA https://amzn.to/2lanJlp DE https://amzn.to/2JidFR1 FR https://amzn.to/2JizXSK ES https://amzn.to/2Yzs8xb IT https://amzn.to/2JiaIjt ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

The unique 1960s Hi-Fi systems that became time capsules

The unique 1960s Hi-Fi systems that became time capsules

The Schaub Lorenz 5001 Music Centres were ahead of their time, expensive and a failure. Fifty years on, surviving examples often hold a unique piece of the past. (CLICK - “SHOW MORE”)... Invaluable resources: http://www.ilove-schaub-lorenz-music-centers.com/ https://www.hifi-archiv.info https://www.americanradiohistory.com Thanks to: Edward Norton (not that one) - I believe he was the first person to put me onto the Schaub Lorenz 5001 - He mentioned it in the comments to a few of my videos back in 2016. I then searched for a working one for a year and bought the machine you see in this video in November 2017. Edward's youtube channel can be found at https://www.youtube.com/user/farmerinboots09 PINNED UPDATED INFO & PRE-EMPTIVE QUESTION RESPONSES •If you want to learn more about these unique machines visit http://www.ilove-schaub-lorenz-music-centers.com/ - On here, amongst other things you’ll find information about the 29.7 hour stereo version of the recorder that was made by Schaub Lorenz but wasn’t used in their own cabinets, instead it was sold to GE in the US. •During playback this machine should automatically advance onto the next track after rewinding and continue playing. Because of this feature a number of these were used as background music players in hotels etc. •The track length of 22 minutes is more suited for recording one side of an LP per track. As long as your LPs were of a suitable length it would hold 63. The lack of fast forward makes more sense here as playing a track is just like playing one whole side of a record from the beginning to the end. •Repairs - I won’t be attempting any repairs on the lighting circuit until I get the audio recorded from the machine. I don’t want to risk damaging anything before all the recordings have been archived. •The speaker output isn’t designed to be plugged into a recorder - the impedance is different from a standard RCA connection - hence the ‘thinner’ than optimal sound - since making the video I've added a "High to Low level converter" between the speaker output and the PCM recorder line-in and these new recordings sound much better. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?... -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

Parts or Repair? - Philips AL990 Shortwave Radio

u4c6Uh8ldkA | 09 Jun 2019

Parts or Repair? - Philips AL990 Shortwave Radio

If something is broken there’s little to lose but much to gain by attempting a repair - even when I don’t have a clue what I’m doing. INFO: • I don’t want to plug this into power - so it’s fine that this part doesn’t work. • I don’t need to use the alarm - so it’s fine that this doesn’t work. • I used electrical insulation tape on the soldered wires as I couldn’t find my bag of heat shrink tubing. • It uses 6 C-Cell batteries - the red battery release ribbon is looped behind the rear two batteries, so one pull of the tape releases all the batteries. • I checked the polarity of the 12V DC plug by reading the service manual before I plugged by adaptor in • This is not my first rodeo • Try to just enjoy things as they come - it’s more fun than looking for holes in them. It’s a simple video about an old radio that just needed new batteries.I’m really not trying to fool anyone here - these types of videos take a long time to shoot but then are edited down to the highlights. Just like watching a 30 minute TV show where someone builds a house - you are seeing selected highlights - a house takes more than 22 minutes plus adverts to build and like that this video was spread over three days of shooting which accumulated about ten hours of video. If something isn’t shown in the videos it doesn’t necessarily mean I forgot it - I mean who in their right mind would leave bare wires pushed up against a circuit board - the suggestion is preposterous, of course I covered the wires...but no one really needs to see someone wrapping wires in insulation tape any more than they’d like to see me walking to the Amazon locker to pick up my aerial delivery or the hour long section where I tried to get both of the incredibly fiddly copper washers back into the new aerial. It’s just a video it’s not a challenge. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

VHD was a home videodisc format never launched to the public outside of Japan. However it was funded by a UK company and was due to come out here in 1982. This is the story of VHD in the UK featuring early demo footage and rare PAL discs.

DJI Osmo Pocket - A 3-month-in REVIEW

This video is split into two sections: Review @ 00:00 Settings @ 23:11 The DJI Osmo pocket is a very niche camera - if it fits your niche there are buying links below: Amazon Affiliated Links UK: https://amzn.to/2WAwKBH US: https://amzn.to/2I0IDwQ DE: https://amzn.to/2WDvI89 CA: https://amzn.to/2TKtK3I FR: https://amzn.to/2YAKeza ES: https://amzn.to/2FJh09M IT: https://amzn.to/2YDG7SK Official DJI Website https://www.dji.com/uk/osmo-pocket Alpacas appear courtesy of https://www.alpacalyeverafter.co.uk/ UPDATES: 1) The phone connector can be re-attached to the camera flipped around so it fits it in the provided case without protruding through the hole. When I tried this during shooting it didn't seem to fit - but I had the case inverted. I apologise for this error/omission. If this has changed your mind about the camera - click an affiliated link above to purchase it. 2) The photo at 05:22 of the railings was not taken with the Osmo - it snuck into the project folder in error. It was taken with an iPhone X in Portrait mode - hence the weird blurring artifacts. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Full REVIEW : Sony WENA Wrist Pro Smart Watch Strap (Japan Edition)

Full REVIEW : Sony WENA Wrist Pro Smart Watch Strap (Japan Edition)

A review of a WENA Wrist Pro Smart Watch Band imported From Japan. The connected watch strap that turns a standard watch into a smartwatch. Gain some smartwatch functionality while still being able to wear a traditional watch. The UK version is available to pre-order from Amazon: Wrist Pro: https://amzn.to/2X6eoJP Wrist Active: https://amzn.to/2SBgwKW The differences between the Pro and the Active are explained in the video. Links are affiliated. REUPLOADED after a re-edit to include important information regarding adding Custom Notifications. New section starts at 12:08 If anyone is interested in the Pulsar watch I used - I believe its a discontinued model but there are a few left on Amazon UK (affiliated links) - https://amzn.to/2Gu13pG (the colour I bought) https://amzn.to/2SFfyNH (a blue one) and https://amzn.to/2GvOJW1 (one with a resin strap) - If you were buying one to fit on a Wena Wrist Pro - this last one seems like the best idea as it's the cheapest. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

A New MiniDisc Album...in 2019

A quick extra video about something that arrived in the post. MiniDisc & Cassettes available from http://eox.no/shop/ Cassettes also available in the US from http://www.the8bitguy.com/product-category/music/ IMPORTANT NOTE (for people who care about these things) These MiniDiscs are BURNED rather than Pressed. The facilities for pressing pre-recorded MiniDiscs no longer exist. Therefore these MiniDiscs are recorded on standard recordable blanks in real-time. This makes no difference to the listener experience - but it’s been pointed out that while it was implied, I didn’t specifically mention it in this unscripted off the cuff improvised quickly assembled extra video ...so I’m mentioning it here...in the video description text box that no one has read since 1978 A video All About MiniDisc 💽 https://youtu.be/kU3BceoMuaA -------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos -------THANKS TO ------- Jerobeam Fenderson for the intro animation: http://oscilloscopemusic.com/ ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

HiFi Component TV - What? and Why?

KPneS9ZdUB8 | 02 Feb 2019

HiFi Component TV - What? and Why?

A look at a HiFi component TV - a category that reached its brief zenith in the late 1970s REGARDING THE RE-UPLOAD OF THIS VIDEO My apologies for the re-up - For some bizarre reason Youtube decided to de-sync the audio from the video after the original upload had been working fine for three days. This meant that viewers using Chrome experienced a 6 second delay between the audio and the video after 5:35 into the video. The WiFi Mirasceen Airplay/Miracast device I used in this video is currently out of stock in the UK Amazon store https://amzn.to/2WxRN8B - however it is still available in the US https://amzn.to/2Scd4pe and you can also find it on ebay https://ebay.to/2RvwpNy (It's not brilliant though - audio can be laggy - so don't take this as some kind of glowing endorsement - but it just about worked well enough for me to make this video). The composite to VHF RF adaptor I used is this one https://ebay.to/2MJyyV4 (All links are affiliated) The Comedy Outro On its own: https://youtu.be/FaW9xkbiq6w °°° The GIFs https://gfycat.com/@TheMoans °°° The track 'Long Way Home' is available from the Youtube Audio Library https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos -------THANKS TO ------- Jerobeam Fenderson for the intro animation: http://oscilloscopemusic.com/ Daniel P. on Patreon for sending me the link to this device on eBay. ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

WiFi Digital TV tuner for tablet/phone - REVIEW

aPZCoXE44oo | 15 Dec 2018

WiFi Digital TV tuner for tablet/phone - REVIEW

A look at a pocket TV Tuner which receives Freeview and transmits it via WiFi to a smartphone or tablet. Amazon Link https://amzn.to/2KXIGZz (Affiliated) Note: The free eye TV app will not work with this: The EyeTV version of the app is free - *but* the EyeTV app looks for a WiFi network with a name like "Eye TV W 000612" but since my TV device transmits the WiFi name "Meron_320029" the EyeTV app won’t recognise it. So the choice is to pay £20 more and get a free app or pay £20 less then buy a £2.99 app. Or - don’t bother doing any of this. Perhaps go for a nice walk or something. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Aukey DR-01 Dashcam Review ...and it was all going so well

Aukey DR-01 Dashcam Review ...and it was all going so well

A review of the budget Aukey DR01 dashcam. A simple camera with plenty to like - but because of one issue, I just can't recommend it. *CLICK 'SHOW MORE'* Hopefully it can be fixed with a firmware update. I keep a list of my favourite dashcams here: http://www.techmoan.com/what-is-the-best-dashcam/ Aukey DR01 Affiliated Amazon Links Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/2E2dlnk Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2Pjrezp NOTE: I did not put this in the subscriber feed *on purpose*. This is *not* a YouTube glitch. Feedback tells me that the vast majority of subscribers to this channel are no longer interested in my dashcam reviews. With the 'notify subscibers' option unticked everyone still gets to see this video in their 'recommended videos feed' and they can decide whether or not it is a topic that they want to see. No-one misses out - but also no one can complain about 'oh another rubbish dashcam video in my feed - I really hate these' What I'm doing here is a survey - I'm seeing how many people actively click on a dashcam video - if it's negligible then I know that I'm best concentrating my efforts elsewhere. So please just bear with it - and let's see how this pans out. It's like a free newspaper - you might post it though 100,000 letterboxes - but if 95,000 of those households immediately put it in the recycling without reading a page then you are probably wasting your time. I want to see how many people are actively interested in dashcam videos. This is a way I can find out. Putting a video in the subscriber feed guarantees it a number of views that it might not deserve. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

RetroTech: Sennheiser Surrounder - 1999’s bizarre personal surround sound system

The Sennheiser Surrounder Pro is a Dolby Pro-logic surround sound system from 1999 which is worn around the neck, but would you wear one? Things this looks like include a backward public toilet seat, a Braffin from a Gurning competition and a neck brace. Things that might be difficult while wearing one include eating & drinking. Apologies for any slightly out of focus sections in this video - this was only spotted in editing by which time it was too late. The tune used at 06:10 is 'Beat your Competition' from Vibe Tracks and can be found in the Youtube Audio Library. https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music If you want to know more about the Apple iTunes phone - here's Steve himself describing it https://youtu.be/W-wHXfHxRUA?t=17m24s ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan ***Patrons usually have early access to videos*** ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Final Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

Maximal Wall Radio - A QUICK-EXTRA-VID

Maximal Wall Radio - A QUICK-EXTRA-VID

A look at an unusual picture frame radio from the 1980s. Yes - *****EVERYONE KNOWS***** FM is alive and well in the US and FM is currently broadcasting pretty much everywhere apart from Norway (at the time of typing this message). However *many countries* do have *plans* to switch it off at *some point in the future* - to free up the spectrum for other uses (really so they can sell it off and make a load of money). . So it's likely that someone will be watching this video in say 10 years time in a country other than Norway that has no FM reception. Or perhaps they are from Norway today (1% of my viewers are from Norway - Hi Norway people - including, but not limited to, Anders). ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos -------THANKS TO ------- Jerobeam Fenderson for the intro animation: http://oscilloscopemusic.com/ ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

Here's why I mentioned it - it just sounded weird to me. I was taught English a long time ago from some very old ladies who had a very particular old fashioned way of speaking. Whilst probably 99% of people wouldn’t even notice anything unusual - to me it’s a strange way to phrase a simple message . A much cleaner and more elegant way to say the same thing would be "Remember to switch on” - - it just flows better. Its like saying 'Don’t forget to remember to feed the dog'. It’s just a really messy and complicated way to get a simple message across. Almost everyone on the planet would be happy with the way the chap said it - but it grated against the way I was taught English - to write and speak in the most efficient way possible. I really shouldn’t have said anything about it - so my apologies for causing all this consternation. In future I'll have to remember to not forget to not bite my tongue.

MQA-CD : New Hi-Res CDs from Japan

m31r1GHPPdA | 27 Jun 2018

MQA-CD : New Hi-Res CDs from Japan

MQA-CD is a physical Hi-res music format, but while the discs are relatively affordable, playing them back can be anything but. ********** UPDATE (PLEASE READ)******** The sound quality difference I experienced between the MQA decoded CD and the standard CD audio is because rather than the CD being 16bit (as normal) - the patent says it's 13 bit with 3 bits used for the MQA data - however others now say it’s 15 bit with 1 bit going to the MQA. Apparently the MQA bit(s) get ignored as noise by a standard CD player. . There are Loads of complaints about me saying that the "MQA version sounds better" - how could it when Brothers in Arms can't ever sound any better than a CD because it was mastered at CD quality originally". Well perhaps that's because that's not what occurred in this video. Angry Audiophiles - Just stop, take a breath - and read this paragraph.... I wasn't comparing the full bitrate CD version of the album vs the MQA version. I didn't even have the standard CD version of Brothers In Arms playing anywhere in this video - so how could I possibly be comparing it. You can't compare what you don't have. The comparison in this video was between the compressed version of the album contained on the MQA CD vs the MQA unfolded version contained on the same CD. SUMMARY: REDUCED BITRATE VERSION VS MQA UNFOLDED VERSION. WHICH SOUNDS BETTER? MQA UNFOLDED VERSION So all I experienced in the video was the MQA version sounding better than the reduced bitrate version - which of course it would do. So next question... Will an MQA version of an album that was only ever mastered in 44.1khz 16bit sound exactly the same as a normal (non MQA) CD version of the album? - Yes of course it would, if the album was only ever mastered in 44.1khz 16bit and that's the only version available then how can it ever sound better than the original. You can read up on MQA Audio here: http://www.mqa.co.uk Universal Music Japan’s MQA-CD page (in Japanese) https://www.universal-music.co.jp/international/mqa-uhqcd/ This is a useful site for downloading Hi-res Audio test files (including MQA) http://www.2l.no/hires/ Clearing something up that seems to have caused confusion. MQA existed before MQA-CDs in the form of Downloadable Files & Streaming. That's what all those USB decoders (including mine) are designed to decode. MQA-CDs are new(ish) and only available in JAPAN- however MQA downloadable Files & Streaming have been around for a while. These MQA-CDs are an adaption of the MQA format into a physical version that can be sold in Japanese stores. ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

The 1980's Maths Teachers' Enemy - CASIO NUMBER INVADERS are back

This was how we snuck/sneaked an electronic game into class in 1982 - and now you can bring one into your business meetings because Casio has reissued their Number Invaders game calculator. UPDATE - In the game if you shoot two numbers in succession that add up to 10 then the invader appears - the invader is worth more points. The last two minutes are my usual outro. If the proportion of new content to existing outro is unacceptable to you - here is an alternative version with a quicker outro. ;-) https://youtu.be/FOrH6RnPqd0 - or you could always just stop playback of this video when you want to stop watching.

Review of the new Toshiba Aurex ‘Hi-Res Cassette deck’

Review of the new Toshiba Aurex ‘Hi-Res Cassette deck’

Toshiba in Japan has launched a High Res capable cassette recorder. What exactly does that mean and is it any good? Let's find out. Special thanks to Hugo for his work on the audio analysis. If you are interested in Walkman & portable stereos - visit http://walkman-archive.com/ and http://stereo2go.com Music provided by (in order of appearance) Retro Grooves Vol. 2 - Anders Enger Jensen http://eox.no/product/retro-grooves-vol-2-mc/ Candy Apple Blue - http://www.candy-apple-blue.com Youtube Audio Library: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/ Track Name: Busted by John Deley If you want to hear the effects of the up-conversion of a cassette yourself - you can download the audio here: https://bit.ly/2KB6PVn To make these files, first two identical recordings of the track 'Busted' were made onto one tape in one continuous go (the track was on repeat) from a Sony HAP-S1 digital audio player onto a Sony TC-K333ESJ which contained new-old-stock TDK SA90 tape. This tape was then played back on the Toshiba TY-AK1 - the first track with the Up-convert option off and the second with it switched on. The recordings were done from the headphone output into a PCM recorder (WAV format). These recordings are unedited.

Cronixie - The eye-catching edge-lit clock kit that inspired the LIXIE

The edge-lit numerical display is having a hobbyist renaissance of late with Lixie displays getting a lot of online attention. This is a review of an edge-lit clock kit called the Cronixie-M. Cronixie Kits on ebay (Affiliated Links - see below) Cronixie-M UK http://ebay.to/2DG9FUs DE http://ebay.to/2pooCG4 NL http://ebay.to/2G4ZFJC AT http://ebay.to/2pnjMIj FR http://ebay.to/2Ixkw6N BE http://ebay.to/2IBx8JV ES http://ebay.to/2pnYMS5 Outside Europe links* AU http://ebay.to/2FLBoch US http://ebay.to/2FGC2Ye CA http://ebay.to/2HFBWwD Cronixie-S UK http://ebay.to/2FRK24B DE http://ebay.to/2GE2b7n NL http://ebay.to/2FPeoor AT http://ebay.to/2FKlZZx FR http://ebay.to/2pl2eO0 BE http://ebay.to/2FPeMTV ES http://ebay.to/2FKm2Vd Outside Europe links* AU http://ebay.to/2FT9iHY US http://ebay.to/2GDFMqJ CA http://ebay.to/2tWSj67 *Apparently they might not ship outside Europe, but you could always ask them. Cronixie Manufacturer’s Website (German): https://www.led-genial.de/LED-Cronixie This is an independent review. I purchased my kit at full price via ebay. *It's not a 'LIXIE' (all will be explained in the video) - LIXIE has become the most commonly used name for these edge lit type numerical displays - just like Xerox became synonymous with photocopiers - even the ones made by other companies. For more info on the Lixie branded displays - there's a link further down.. FAQs Q) Does it do (insert query here)? A) It does exactly what’s shown in the video. I demonstrated every function. There was nothing left out. However it can be *reprogrammed* - if you have the skills. The documentation for this is available from here https://www.led-genial.de/LED-Basic-Downloads If you are interested in a more DIY programmer's arduino kit type experience - here's a link to Conor Nishijima's LIXIE displays: Lixie Displays: http://connor-n.com/lixie/ From what I understand LIXIEs are enclosed and stack the digits much closer together in a sealed unit. They look pretty cool to me - but require programming skills that I don't have. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

If you want everyone to know you’re a super cool expert on laser projectors, make sure you use the word ‘galvos’ In your comment. FAQs Q) Does the software do (insert function here)? A) Download it - it’s free - try it yourself. This video was about the games. http://www.wickedlasers.com/laseros Q) Have you adjusted the settings, have you tried a filter on your camera, perhaps there’s a problem with the software, the projector is rubbish etc.. A) This video is what it is. It was shot in February and initially binned due to the fact I was unhappy with the way it looked. After making quite a few edits, I’ve released it as an ‘Extra’ - there will be another video along in a few days. This one has problems - The video quality is rubbish, and the projector is too slow - but that was it - it’s was over and done a couple of months ago. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

RetroTech: Recordable Paper - The 3M Sound Page

RetroTech: Recordable Paper - The 3M Sound Page

In this video I take a look at a multimedia educational format from the 1970s, the 3M Sound Page (AKA Ricoh Synchrofax) UPDATE I’ve seen a few comments where the assumption has been made that this device was still in use as an educational tool in the 1990s. I think this is highly unlikely. Here’s my take on this - if you’ve ever gone to school, you’ll know that they rarely throw anything away. I know in my school there were things in storage cupboards that hadn’t been used in decades. My theory is that this was used in the 1970s and then stored away until being discovered in the 1990s by some mischievous children who liberated it and used it to record music off the radio (over the top of the old teachers programmes). COMPLAINTS RECEIVED (SO FAR) 1) The use of the term ‘ASMR Nuts’ The definition of Nut as used in this context is as follows: A person who is enthusiastic about a specific thing; e.g. Car nut Football Nut Health Nut I am a Technology Nut - and I’m proud of it. So you’ll have to find something else to pretend to get outraged by today. 2) ‘Fat Shaming’ 3) ‘Flat Earth” The recordings used in this video are taken from educational programmes made in 1974. Your 2018 complaints or observations on something from 44 years ago will need to be addressed to the creator of those programmes. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos -------THANKS TO ------- Jerobeam Fenderson for the intro animation: http://oscilloscopemusic.com/ Muppet Teletext Graphic - courtesy of @ZXGuesser (on Twitter) Also available here: https://zxnet.co.uk/teletext/gallery/index.php?gallery=gallery3 ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

This is a bit random - Vintage Random Number Generator

An unusual piece of tech from the 1970s - a Random Number Generator. The ebay advert for this suggested that the buyer could gut it for the nixie tubes.

This "Backwards" Vinyl Record isn't just a gimmick

A look at an unusual record that plays from the *inside out*. Available from http://www.tacet.de/main/seite1.php?layout=katalog&language=en&filename=production.php&bestnr=02071 (This is not an affiliated link and I paid for my record). Some people complained that the title of this video was ClickBait - so the word BACKWARDS is now in quotation marks to better highlight the fact that I'm just Quoting the Text written on the Record's Sleeve. I tried changing it to INSIDE OUT - but then got complaints that the video wasn't about a Disney Movie. A tone arm moving from the inside to outside of a record is BACKWARDS to one that goes from the outside to the inside, so there's no deception going on.

A) Yes - that’s what I’m using in this video. See on-screen message at 10:30 REMOTE Thanks for all the links to the remote on eBay - I had already seen that seller - they specialise in Superscope spares - However that remote is just for the CD recorder section, it costs a lot for what it is (including postage & duty) and I was never really all that invested in getting one. A viewer in the U.K. however has the full one that he is sending me as a favour. NOPE Quite a few people have stated that pressing the Record button again whilst the device is recording should increment the track number. It doesn't - perhaps they were thinking of another machine. -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM LINKS: Amazon/eBay links are affiliated where possible.

See the FAQs in the video description text box for more. Q) Can you play the video on a 12cm CD Video in a DVD or VCD machine or in a PC? A) No, it's composite analog video whereas those play digital formats. (There are some later Laserdisc machines that can play DVDs because they added in the MPEG2 decoders.). -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

Philips Viva Pasta Maker Review

KgTcKeefcbU | 25 Jan 2018

Philips Viva Pasta Maker Review

I'm always on the lookout for kitchen gadgets to feature in a video. This is touted as the number one fresh pasta maker in Italy, although most people there, just like elsewhere, prefer to buy dried pasta. You can buy a heck of a lot of bags of dried pasta for the price of this machine, so it’s definitely not a way to save money, it probably makes a better gift than it does an investment. Unlike most kitchen gadgets I’ve tested, this is one I will be using again. It’s surprisingly fun, it works well, there's something special about eating pasta you've just made and the cost of using it is negligible. Unfortunately the place I bought mine from (Coolshop) no longer stock them - but according to the Philips website it is now being sold officially in the U.K. for £170 ***LINKS: All Amazon/eBay links are Affiliated where possible.*** Amazon UK: http://amzn.to/2E8HUpj Amazon US: http://amzn.to/2FaJciF ebay US: http://ebay.to/2Bt9DhC ebay UK: http://ebay.to/2GajvAe ebay DE: http://ebay.to/2n7E3AI You can download the recipe book here: https://www.download.p4c.philips.com/files/h/hr2370_05/hr2370_05_irb_aen.pdf It's pretty simple to make flavoured pasta - e.g. To make carrot flavoured pasta you replace the water in the mixture with carrot juice...and the same goes for Tomato etc. UPDATES 1 - According to the Philips Website the machine should also now be available in the U.K. (when I bought mine in November 2017 it wasn’t). Although I can’t find anywhere with any stock. 2) - The toy I mentioned was not from Playmobil - it was the Playdoh mop top hair shop 3) I pronounced penne incorrectly a couple of times in this video. That’s how my family always pronounced it - although to be honest I don't think it's a word we said very much. You'll also notice that I also pronounce it correctly once in the video. However this slight difference in pronunciation seems to have people rioting in the streets. I know it’s difficult, but please try to get past this horrendous and awfully upsetting event - I'm working on arranging counselling sessions for all the affected people. It is a deeply shocking and sobering event for us all, may god have mercy on my soul. 4) Very few people read this box or the pinned comment, so expect lots of comments repeating the things above.

I recently bought a new (old) record player - here’s a video about it. There are a few tips scattered throughout this video that might be useful to someone considering buying a second hand turntable.

(UK) http://ebay.to/2DjEZvP (US) http://ebay.to/2Dax6p9 (DE) http://ebay.to/2DgM1Ci Answers to questions Q) Is that a dead spider on the cartridge? A) Yes - it was removed. Q) What’s the difference between a MC & MM Cartridge and which is best? A) Best to google that one - countless words have been written on this subject. Some say MC more accurately follow the groove, but I doubt I’d notice the difference. Q) How does it play 10" records? A) How many 10" records do you have really - I had one and the Rokblok ruined it - however if I had hundreds it's not a problem - remember the manual operation section in the video where I drop the stylus where I want on a disc - do that. -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM LINKS: Amazon/eBay links are affiliated where possible.

ROKBLOK Follow Up & Tear Down

Answering a few common questions raised by my RokBlok review - https://youtu.be/LPIJVdQkb1Q UPDATE: Lots of people suggesting the motor wires have been reversed - and if they were the other way around it would run the RokBlok in the other direction - however that isn't is is the way it's designed to work - look at any video of it in action and you'll see the control stick is on the inside of the block as it runs counterclockwise around the record. I'm finished with this one now - no more experiments - it is what it is. It didn't work out for me (and some others https://youtu.be/wV0Du72uTpI ) - but I take no pleasure from seeing a product fail - I would have been much happier if I could have shown you this working well.

When viewing a 360º video you are zooming in on section of the overall image. So while the resolution of the video file might be 3840x1920 you may just be looking at a 640x360 slice from that. The rest of the video is made up of what's going on over your head, down at your feet and behind you. Consumer 360º camera manufacturers are at the limit of what can be handled by current imaging chipsets. Even if you could get a 360º camera that recorded 8K video, this would still look softer than a standard flat 1080p video once you'd zoomed in on a section of it. Professional quality 360º videos use multiple individual cameras (e.g. The GoPro Omni uses 6 Go-Pro cameras) and the video from those six cameras is stitched together using a computer. So this is where it's at with consumer 360º cameras, they are just a bit of fun and won't be capable of producing the same results as a professional rig, but then again the pro equipment doesn't fit in your jeans pocket.

The most expensive music format (in the world)

Is Reel to Reel the new Vinyl? Short answer: No. Long answer: It's complicated - Press Play. In this video I'll be playing pre-recorded tapes from 1957 & 2017 The first half concentrates on the history & background, and the second moves onto the current day and the most expensive pre-recorded music format available for the home.

They borrow the master tape, make a copy (or more likely a number of identical parallel copies on a bank of tape machines)...they then use these copies as their master to run duplicates off that they sell to you. The original master is returned to the studio.

Tiny Arcade - Playable Mini Arcade Games

A look at the tiny but fully functional collectable mini arcade machines. Available from Amazon US: Ms Pac Man http://amzn.to/2AnMWwe Space Invaders http://amzn.to/2i7cFR2 Pac Man http://amzn.to/2jCjURD Galaxian http://amzn.to/2jAuSXO ***LINKS: All Amazon/eBay links are Affiliated where possible.*** Pac-Man & Space Invaders can also be found on Amazon UK. http://amzn.to/2AuRtx5 Note - if you are thinking of importing to the UK - not all Amazon resellers send outside the US. I used a store called -importcds (if it doesn't default to them, look in the 'Other Sellers' drop-down box in the right-hand column). Be careful not to confuse these with the various non-playable replicas and inferior games from other manufacturers. These "Tiny Arcade" machines are made by a company called "Super Impulse" and as yet they only make the four machines shown http://superimpulse.com/our-brands/tiny-arcade-2/ I anticipate I'll get lots of comments stating the 8-Bit Guy did videos on these and whilst he has done a video about mini table top arcade games - they are a lot bigger than these and are made by a different manufacturer. He's a patron on my channel as am I on his, so we get to chat about these things sometimes, and I checked before I started making this video that I wasn't repeating something he'd already covered. Here is a link to his video https://youtu.be/Iuo0njOI-qE UPDATE - I have been informed (in the comments) that these are also available in the UK through the retail chain Menkind. - They also have a website that shows they stock two of the range of four machines (Pac Man & Space Invaders) - here's a link to PacMan https://www.menkind.co.uk/mini-pac-man You can also find them in the store Red5 in the UK (which MenKind owns) Update 2 - all four games are contained within each cabinet and can be activated by soldering the appropriate points.

The plug & play 800+ game Retro Arcade Stick - Pandora's Box 4S REVIEW

A review of an all-in-one two player arcade machine that contains hundreds of games...you just need to add a TV. Below are a few ebay links that will show you what's currently available - there are a number of different configurations but please ignore ebay fraudsters pretending to sell these for just £30-£50 it costs more than that for the components. You should expect to pay £120 - £150 for a Pandora Box 4S like mine (or the equivalent of this in your local currency). Turn on international search to get the widest selection. UK: http://ebay.to/2zyILjZ US: http://ebay.to/2jlc4M5 CA: http://ebay.to/2Bkk0VO DE: http://ebay.to/2n03Fm3 AU: http://ebay.to/2i3iuTe NL: http://ebay.to/2AtgJGC BE: http://ebay.to/2jlsnsn FR: http://ebay.to/2A5uavG IE: http://ebay.to/2B8C2cQ ES: http://ebay.to/2BjfuHa AT: http://ebay.to/2mZWyu7 IT: http://ebay.to/2zjNYrI CH: http://ebay.to/2jlIgil ***LINKS: All Amazon/eBay links are Affiliated where possible.*** ebay buying tips 1) If it's too cheap to be true then it's not true. 2) Only buy from someone who has sold plenty of things and has good feedback 3) Read the feedback to see if they have recently sold something similar to the item you are buying. e.g. If you are buying an arcade joystick but they only sold socks and gloves and their last sale was over a year ago, it's likely you are looking at a hijacked account. 4) If possible buy from someone within your country to avoid paying duties - that may be difficult with this, so factor in any potential duty costs. 5) Use Paypal for buyer protection Extra Info------ SD CARD ...and while it's not something that I'm at all interested in, if *you* really wanted to read that SD Card, I’m sure with the right tools you could - it’s likely in an EXT3 format. However I bought this as a ready made plug & play arcade stick, rather than a project to tinker with. I've already done enough of that with my Raspberry Pi Picade machine PS4 Apparently you can also use these as an arcade stick with a PS4, this is something I haven't tested. It took me a while to realise that only the lower of the two USB ports worked...I've since seen some machines with the upper port blocked off, presumably for this reason. Does it do 4:3? Yes of course it does 4:3 - remember the bit where I mentioned it output at 800x600 - that's 4:3. How you display that is up to you, I prefer to stretch it out to a 16:9 screen - especially on my OLED that can suffer from burn-in if a 4:3 image is displayed on it for too long (it mentions this in the manual) - however you can display your video output however you want on your TV or monitor. LETS GET PICKY - CAPCOM AREN'T SNK!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!!!! A weirdly high number of people have got in touch to tell me that "ACTUALLY Neo Geo games are made by SNK not Capcom". First - why are so many people out to try to catch me out misspeaking - it's a youtube video, it's an amateur production, it's just a bit of fun..it's not a tax return. and I didn't say that Capcom made NeoGeo games here is what I did say: "whilst there are a lot of different arcade companies represented, the games do tend to weight themselves towards Capcom, and in particular Neo Geo". So the intended interpretation of that sentence is ---there are lots of games from a lot of different companies, including 1) A lot from Capcom and 2) A lot more from Neo Geo Now please just try to watch the videos and not pick them apart as if there was some kind of prize for being the biggest pedant. Trust me, if there was a prize, you definitely wouldn't want it. -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ***Affiliate Advertising Notice*** I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to AMAZON.COM & AMAZON.CO.UK.

RetroTech: Sony Flamingo PS-F9 Repair & Demo

AiiuboFNTA4 | 21 Nov 2017

RetroTech: Sony Flamingo PS-F9 Repair & Demo

Sony's portable battery-powered turntable from 1983 has become a highly desired and expensive collectors piece. However before I can demonstrate this one, I'll need to get it working. Sony Global Design History Pages https://www.sony.net/Fun/design/history/index.html Ebay (well it doesn't cost anything to look) PS-F5 http://ebay.to/2jBcaTl PS-F9 http://ebay.to/2mzsrJF UPDATE: After uploading the video, it occurred to to that Sony have in fact revisited their back catalogue recently with the re-launch of the Aibo robotic dog. Hopefully this will continue and we'll get to see some more modern reinterpretations of classic Sony products. OMISSION: I forgot to mention that I pulled out any remnants of the old felt washer that was protruding from between the cogs before installing my replacement cloth tape. Also perhaps I should have clarified that the gears unit was welded on at both ends, there were no retaining washers or e-clips that could be removed to disassemble it. Lots of people want me to say the word *Clutch* to describe the gears mechanism as if somehow this will fill a void...so here we go CLUTCH I suspect nothing has changed. There's also a fan website dedicated to the Sony PS-F5 that has some additional information - https://www.ps-f5.com A few people think the Sound Crocodile drawing shown on the advert for the Sound Burger is a real thing (?!????!!!?) - It’s not, here’s a picture of the full advert https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZtWA07ZliHLeibtnBVTCX4KAhgQ84nxItqV RECORDS USED The bicolour records used for the demonstrations were: 1) Stax Number Ones (Yellow & Red) 2) Lou Reed - Transformer (Black & Yellow) These were limited editions from https://www.newburycomics.com/collections/exclusive-vinyl Both are now discontinued - however they have plenty of other exclusive coloured discs to choose from.

Sky Soundbox Review - A sound buy or a headache?

0nowvN8E_kw | 15 Nov 2017

Sky Soundbox Review - A sound buy or a headache?

The Sky Soundbox really does sound pretty good...but unfortunately for me that's only half the story. So just to clarify my issues with the Soundbox. 1) I couldn’t get the Sky Q Soundbox Option menu to appear on my main TV...does this also mean the speaker isn’t receiving the custom equalisation profiles delivered from the Sky Q box...your guess is as good as mine on that. 2) I was prepared to live with number 1, it’s not too big a concern, the sound was good anyway....but the real problem for me, the one that killed this stone dead for my requirements is the fact the Soundbox doesn’t auto-wake from standby when a video signal is sent through it from the Sky Q box. Also for those asking...the LG 65EF950V TV is running the latest available firmware 04.25.56 ...but don’t worry too much about the LG Firmware as the failure to wake issue is common to all three TVs I own.     UPDATE 1: (15 November 2017)  I have been informed that the Soundbox *is* supposed to automatically wake up whenever the attached Sky Q box is brought out of standby. Some Soundbox owners have reported that this feature is working for them (and some others say it isn’t). As mentioned in the video, I have tested this speaker on one Sky Q 2TB box and two different Sky Q Miniboxes connected to three different TVs..and it doesn’t wake up for any of them. So that’s 0% success on this feature for me. Your mileage may of course vary. UPDATE 2: (16 November 2017) Sky have issued a new firmware for the Skybox (however haven't said what it fixes or improves) https://www.sky.com/help/articles/update-your-sky-soundbox I installed it and it initially made the problem worse. The Soundbox locked up and wouldn't accept any commands at all. This issue was resolved by re-enabling Simplink on the TV (an LG 65EF950V) and rebooting the speaker. However once that issue was overcome the Soundbox still won't auto power on from standby or display the on-screen menu...just as before. UPDATE 3: (20 November 2017) It's been returned for a refund. I've lost confidence in this product. -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------THANKS TO ------- Jerobeam Fenderson for the intro animation: http://oscilloscopemusic.com/ ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

A) Windows reports it as FAT32 (with errors), Mac OS can't read it at all. A 64GB card formatted by a dashcam will often be ex-FAT, so it appears it's a custom format...or something else odd is occurring. The camera formats the card whenever an unused card is first inserted...you can see this taking place at the start of the video. It also recommends that you format the card if you re-set the time (I noticed this when moving the clock back an hour). The wheres and whyfores of the precise formatting system used by the camera aren't what's important, it's how that may or may not affect the user. So to sum it up again - if you have a Windows PC you're fine and if you only use the WiFi app you're fine...but if you only have a Mac you can't read the SD card natively. Q) These High Endurance SD cards are a con. A) Hold your horses there old chap - as I said in the video, buy whatever SD card you want - however you should be aware that some SD card manufacturers (Samsung & Sandisk are two of them) now state that their non-endurance SD card warranties will be invalidated if the card was used in a dashcam. Now listen up....don't get all up in my grill about this - it's just information, it's not opinion....it's a fact I'm passing on to be helpful. If you want an argument about this contact Samsung...I have no horse in this race. -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ***Affiliate Advertising Notice*** I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to AMAZON.COM & AMAZON.CO.UK.

A) It depends how often the display is activated, with minimal use it can last two months Q) Hey those aren’t milliseconds A) Yes they are...you need to take into account the multipliers shown below the digits. It’s a bit like the RPM dial in my car which is x10. Errors/Omissions At 07:05 I refer to the earth pin on a plug being 'missing' - I should have worded this better as this is how the plug was designed - however I'll still need to replace it with a UK plug in order to earth it to a UK mains socket.

CX Discs : Better, Worse & the Same as a normal record - A Forgotten Format

CX Discs : Better, Worse & the Same as a normal record - A Forgotten Format

CBS envisioned all records made after 1982 utilising their CX encoding system, but if you've bought any music on vinyl since the mid 80s, you won't see a CX logo on the sleeve...so what went wrong. Watch this video to find out. If you are interested in the technical details of CX - here’s the patent https://www.google.com/patents/US4376916 Here’s the link to my DBX Disc video https://youtu.be/1qtxPSR8q98 Answers to regularly asked questions Q) What kind of monitor is that? A) Here's my video about it: https://youtu.be/W_4nsUL4MRw Q) if you could have played the audio samples shown, what do they sound like A) It’s very hard to spot the differences. It’s just that the very quietest moments (which are fleeting and only last for a fraction of a second in these pop songs) are a little bit louder. You can hear the section highlighted on the waveform in the link below -and you'll see why I didn't include it in the video as it does a very good job of proving very little. The sample is played in the following order CX Disc, CX=ON, Normal Record, CX Disc, CX=OFF http://bit.ly/2yYG36M Q) What is that Subscriber counter thing in the background? A) Here's my video about it: https://youtu.be/aEIhc-2vmIM Other Questions: Q) Did CED & LaserDisc players have built in CX decoders A) Yes they did..except for some of the very earliest models. Q) Could you take pictures of both sides of that circuit so I can try and reverse engineer it and make my own CX decoder. A) Nope - there's no need - Instead, follow the guide in this issue of Popular Electronics if you want to build your own http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Poptronics/80s/1982/Poptronics-1982-01.pdf -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------THANKS TO ------- Jerobeam Fenderson for the intro animation: http://oscilloscopemusic.com/ ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

Action Cam Mini Gimbal Review - The Feiyu Tech WG

i_PYY4eu47k | 10 Oct 2017

Action Cam Mini Gimbal Review - The Feiyu Tech WG

Here's a look at the Wearable Gimbal from Feiyu Tech. Most 4K action cameras do not have image stabilisation for the 4k/UHD modes, a notable exception being the expensive Sony FDR-X3000R http://amzn.to/2fY6GwV which uses optical image stabilisation.

Hipac - The lost tape : Pioneer's forgotten 1970s cassette rival

Q_9IBIcsYj4 | 29 Sep 2017

Hipac - The lost tape : Pioneer's forgotten 1970s cassette rival

Hipac is the pre-recorded tape format that history forgot, so it's time to fix that. Previous videos on related formats; 1) The Playtape https://youtu.be/qBSGuR589_Q 2) The Mail Call https://youtu.be/uTIrbvwn2Ho Also - check out my playlist full of unusual and forgotten tech: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLN2yCnHTG_6qxmv_pdBxWxCPsbA1Cl2RI The only other video I’ve found on YouTube featuring a Hipac player - can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/5MXX2oUMjpI FAQs etc. Firstly - a few Japanese speakers have confirmed my pronunciation of Hipac is correct...so that’s good news. Q) What's that clock/youtube counter on the shelf A) This https://youtu.be/aEIhc-2vmIM More info about the machine and the purpose of the case.... It seems unlikely it would be a salesman's sample (as has been suggested by quite a few) as there would be little need for a 12V power connector or even a model number for something the public couldn't buy. Additionally - there's that chap on youtube (linked above) with a different model - you'd only need one design of this case for demo purposes. Now as far as the aerial...you'll see some leaf spring connectors on the left of the inside of the machine at one point when it's open - it seems very likely that these are there to connect to contacts on a special radio cartridge that could be inserted in the machine to provide it with radio reception capabilities. Personal stereos of the 80s re-used this idea, with a number of machines coming with radio cassette that you put in the machine when you wanted to listen to the radio. - Here's an example of a similar idea for the 8-track https://swling.com/blog/2017/06/mystery-solved-remember-the-8-track-fm-radio-converter/ Q) Could the screw that's holding the player in place just have been used for transportation - like when you buy a washing machine, record player etc. A) I think that's unlikely, I've never found a transportation screw in any device that required disassembly of the unit to remove - they are usually on the bottom and can be removed and reinserted easily. Again I think this was screwed in - so that the deck and holder could be sold as one complete unit in order to sell off the unsold Hipac player stocks (probably very cheaply). Q) Where did you get the belts? A) Here http://ebay.to/2k8jEx9 Q) What's the music playing that starts at 06:54 A) Étude Op. 10, No. 3 (Chopin) The Wikipedia Entry was created on 29 Sept 2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipac -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------THANKS TO ------- Jerobeam Fenderson for the intro animation: http://oscilloscopemusic.com/ ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

Voice Mail - 1967 Style: The MAIL CALL

uTIrbvwn2Ho | 21 Sep 2017

Voice Mail - 1967 Style: The MAIL CALL

A forgotten vision of the future of Long Distance voice communication. My previous Playtape video is here: https://youtu.be/qBSGuR589_Q I'll have one more video to follow on this topic in a couple of weeks. If you want to hear some Playtapes being played - Oddity Archive also made a detailed video about the format recently. https://youtu.be/ryL9egIsQuw -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------THANKS TO ------- Jerobeam Fenderson for the intro animation: http://oscilloscopemusic.com/ ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM Q) Can a playtape be played in a mail call A) You can determine what happens from the section in the video regarding how a Mail Pack plays in a Playtape machine...it’s the reverse of that. A music Playtape is recorded on two parallel tracks each taking up half the width of the tape. The Mail Pack records one track that takes up the whole width of the tape. So a Playtape played in a Mail Call machine will play the two parallel tracks simultaneously - you hear two recordings playing at the same time.

Check the forums linked above for more info. Corrections 1) The WM-EX900 does have limited functionality without a remote. The machine has a single button that you can tap once to play or stop. Double-tap to FF, Triple Tap to REW and hold to play the other side. 2) The new brass centre gear for the DD range is a prototype - the finished version will be plastic.

MB OMNI Entertainment System - The 1980s 8-Track games machine.

zyOKgLtUxto | 06 Aug 2017

MB OMNI Entertainment System - The 1980s 8-Track games machine.

The Omni from Milton Bradley is a product that straddles 70s and 80s technologies. At it’s core, it’s a game, an electronic quiz machine. However if you examine the way it works, it could be described as an interactive computer that reads program data from tapes.... 8-track tapes. In the video above I demonstrate what it does and how it does it…but first I have to get it working. -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM FPC (Frequently posted comments) Q) Hey is that Vincent Price reading the questions? A) Yes - on the Vincent Price's Movie Quiz Cartridge Game - it's Vincent Price speaking. Q) Will you post a sample of the audio? A) Yes - here it is http://bit.ly/2vEGMIs Q) How many questions are on a cart. A) It depends how long the questions take to ask and how they are laid out on the tape. E.G. Password+ will have a lot less than Words Words Words which is more quick fire. Without counting each individual one I can't say for sure...but you can get an idea from the fact that all the tapes I've dubbed have been 80 minutes - so contain 4 x 20 minute programmes. So the maximum length of a single quiz is 20 minutes plus the time it takes the players to answer the questions, minus the time it takes for the tape to play the answers and move between them. You could get perhaps 30-40 questions maximum on one program, so 120-160 per cartridge. ...and to all those people going on about wasted epoxy, you're assuming I didn't have anything else in the house that needed repairing at the same time...like a snapped controller mount on a mini arcade machine for example. ...and I see a few people complaining that Jeopardy doesn't work exactly like it does on TV...I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do about that. WIKIPEDIA A few people have found the new Wikipedia entry for the Omni https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMNI_Entertainment_System and are informing me I was wrong when I said it didn't have an entry. Well I was right at the time I made the video as that Wikipedia Omni page has been created directly as a result of people watching this video...it didn't exist before, but it does now. If you search for 'Techmoan' on Wikipedia you'll also find a few other articles that refer back to some of my videos.

The Broadcast Cart Machine

The Broadcast Cart Machine

Create your website with a free trial today at http://www.squarespace.com/techmoan and get 10% off your first purchase. --------Video Description-------- From the 1960s through to the 90s radio DJs used Cart machines to play jingles and now I've managed to get hold of one. In this video I get to try out the tech by playing some interesting old recordings. -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------THANKS TO ------- Jerobeam Fenderson for the intro animation: http://oscilloscopemusic.com/ ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM Additional Information: Here are a few things that have already been discussed about the video on Patreon that might help answer a few potential questions. 1) Cue Tones - and the lack of recognition on my machine The stereo Dr Dre cart would most likely have its cue track in a configuration that my mono machine can't read…however none of the cue tones on my mono carts were triggering anything with my machine..including the one I recorded on it. 2) Scarcity - It may seem surprising that working cart machines aren't easy to find on the second hand market in the UK but I suspect that any working models are still in demand in the radio industry so there's no need to sell them off on ebay. It’s just the old broken models that end up there. 3) Blanked Carts - The jingles "Fastest Thing in the Air" and "TGIF (which turns out to be Thank Goodness It's Fun) are jingles created by the Jingle company “Pams” in 1964 that were used by a number of radio stations https://www.pams.com/cuts-27.html 4) Who is Kenny Lynn? - I found details of some club DJs in the UK with a similar name however jingles on carts are something a radio DJ would use…so I’m not sure what station they were from. However just for the record...I'm really not looking to find anything out about this chap...I was just mentioning that I couldn't tell you much about him. But for those people who are (bizarrely) suggesting it's `Kenny Lynch" - that's a different name with a shhh sound at the end. Listen to the jingles again and you'll hear it's "Here's Kenny Lynn" with no shhh sound at the end. Also to anyone suggesting it's the famous UK DJ and TV personality 'Kenny Everett'...I really can't account for what's happening in your head. 5) A few people wanted to 'correct me' to say that carts didn't use mobius loops and the reverse isn't recorded on. This 'correction' is wrong - they did and they do and mine is and here's an article from 1959 explaining the process https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=SSEEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA24&dq=fidelipac%20%22mobius%20loop%22&pg=PA24#v=onepage&q=fidelipac%20%22mobius%20loop%22&f=false and here's a video where I PLAY BOTH SIDES OF THE TAPE - https://youtu.be/u36gcUdwjkc 6) Anyone interested in hearing the backing music for the Kenny Lyn spots - here it is in full: https://youtu.be/4E5AXF0R2tE Q) What type of self adhesive sponge did I use to repair the Cartridge? A) Stokvis TLD9624 I bought it at Clas Ohlson - it might be this one (but I'm not 100%). http://www.clasohlson.com/uk/Dust-Seal/34-4093

Whatever happened to Handheld TVs?

idOJyjdbo-Y | 29 Jun 2017

Whatever happened to Handheld TVs?

A video answering the question - "Why don't they make handheld Digital TVs?" The wrong answer would be to say that "smartphones killed handheld TVs"...it's more complicated than that. Smartphones might be one reason people don't use handheld TVs *nowadays* but pocket TVs were killed off *years before* 3G networks suitable for streaming video had been built out in the UK. The truth is that Apathy killed the dream of Pocket Digital TVs. In this video I'll attempt to explain what happened as far as the UK goes and then demonstrate the kind of results you can expect to get if you use one of the limited range of no-brand handheld TV that can be found in the depths of eBay. In the absence of any offerings from Sony or Casio...this is as good as it gets. Here's a link to the Digital TV shown in the video: http://ebay.to/2tjejU2 Q) What's the DeathStar thing?

Forgotten Format: The Sabamobil

rU-iSTj2cTY | 22 Jun 2017

Forgotten Format: The Sabamobil

The Sabamobil is one of the rarer tape formats from the 60s. The cartridges may look strange but they hide a simple secret inside. Click 'Show All' to read the FAQs Potential FAQs Q) What speed does the tape run at A) 3.75 ips Q) How much audio can a tape hold. A) My tape contained a total of approx 90 mins of mono audio when tracks A,B,C & D were added together. Real FAQs Q: What's the name of the track at 07:50 A) Kurt Henkels: Junger Mann aus gutem Hause https://youtu.be/T7_Hje0-8UM Q) What's the name of the song at 08:03? A) Peppermint twist. https://youtu.be/g7m6AOn22Hk The version on the Sabamobil is a soundalike group. Q) Does it have an auto-stop mechanism? A) Well if it does, it isn't working on mine - the motor continues to spin at the end of a side and slips on the rubber wheel until the mechanism is manually switched off. Q) Why didn't I pan the audio to the left and right on the reel to reel so I could play the separate tracks. A) I needed to record the tape on a PCM recorder to include those recordings in this video - so dubbing two tracks at once was great because it takes half the time. -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

Simple ECHO Voice Control SMART PLUG from TP-Link

TEpIJZ64oKM | 16 Jun 2017

Simple ECHO Voice Control SMART PLUG from TP-Link

TP-Link HS100 Voice activated Smart plugs have proved useful for me in utilising the power sockets in my house that are otherwise inaccessible. Smart plugs have been on the market for quite some time now - but in recent months the prices have reduced significantly and in this video I demonstrate they are now so quick and easy to set-up, almost anyone can do it. Purchasing a TP Link SMART WiFi PLUG Amazon UK: http://amzn.to/2qFRnff Amazon US: http://amzn.to/2qAhFEJ Amazon CA: http://amzn.to/2qFGaLG Echo Dot: Amazon UK: http://amzn.to/2sU50Kg Amazon US: http://amzn.to/2rawNVw ----The basic RF remote control socket I show at the beginning can also be found on Amazon--- UK: http://amzn.to/2rn4QJp US: http://amzn.to/2seM1fx CA: http://amzn.to/2stBu0s FAQs Q) Why didn't you use the Belkin Wemo with the Echo A) I wanted to try a new cheaper and smaller plug instead and then once I'd got it working I wanted to buy more of the same model to keep them in the same eco-system. I have also heard quite a few reports regarding general unreliability of the Wemo - disconnections etc. However if it works for you that's great..you should always do whatever makes you happy. Q) Will this work with Google Home A) Yes - I have been advised that it works fine Q) Will this plug work with Apple Homekit A) No - it does not support Homekit. Answers to questions like these can be found on the TP link website here: http://uk.tp-link.com/download/HS100.html or on the smarthome website here: https://www.smarthomedb.com/product/tp-link-wi-fi-smart-plug/faq/p1118/does-the-tp-link-wi-fi-smart-plug-support-homekit-connectivity/q45381 Q) What is the fancy clock in the background at the beginning? A) This - https://youtu.be/aEIhc-2vmIM but most people don't want to buy one when they see the price. Q) Why would anyone need to turn off their HiFi power supply A) OK - weird question but here we go....my HiFi has an 8-gang power extension plugged into the wall - into this are plugged 6 components and two step-down power converters which power the Japanese 100V and US 120V devices - these step-down converters are not supposed to be left powered on for extended periods of time and therefore when the HiFi is not in use they need to be powered down. A number of the other components only power down into a standby state and they too need to be switched off when not in use due to the age of the internal transformers. Q) Why don't I use an extension lead with a power switch A) This is easier for someone like me with a back problem - where bending down to flip a switch is not always possible all year round. Q) Why (fill in question here) A) Because I'm doing this instead. -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------THANKS TO ------- Jerobeam Fenderson for the intro animation: http://oscilloscopemusic.com/ ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

RetroTech: TV Personal Stereo - 1986 in your pocket

Watching video, listening to your music and receiving radio broadcasts on a single pocket sized gadget was possible in the 1980s it just took a bit of effort. Q) Why didn't I wrap a wire around the aerial to supply a video signal? A) To keep the device looking neat and tidy. With it being a portable wireless device, I didn't want to demonstrate it with wires going into it. Besides, I already had a video sender. INFO - Apologies - There are a couple of sections that are slightly out of focus, but you wouldn’t believe how tricky it was to get any clear shots of this thing at all - it was a fine balancing act between angle of the light, the screen, the mirror and my camera...and on top of that eagle eyed viewers will notice that I didn't close the cassette door properly at one point. -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

In this video I attempt to repair the only twin-tape Walkman that Sony made, the WM-W800 from 1985. If you have a walkman that needs a new belt - you can find a link to the store below. --------Walkman Belt Store on ebay------- http://ebay.to/2nJA0ti -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------THANKS TO ------- Jerobeam Fenderson for the intro animation: http://oscilloscopemusic.com/ ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------------The Usual Stuff-------------- Enquiries about the clock - Here's the video I made about it back in November 2016 https://youtu.be/aEIhc-2vmIM If you missed this you might want to check through the back catalogue, as I've uploaded over 400 videos. ----Note ------- The video is a heavily compressed version of events. In reality this was shot over two weeks and approximately 5 hours. The machine was taken apart a total of three times - twice after the reassembly shown in the video in an attempt to rectify the playback fault, without success. As mentioned in the video there were other issues such as speed fluctuations due to sticky pinch rollers...so it was determined that enough time had been spent on this project and this was as far as this repair will go. I am now on to making the next video. ----Errors---- I mistakenly confused Doctor Walkman (who is actually a chap in Italy who repairs walkman) with Mihokm who supplies the belts on ebay. I apologise for the confusion. In addition - I probably should have just said the walkman was working fine at the end - it would have been a happier end for everyone. I'm a bit too honest for my own good sometimes. I could easily have shown it playing on both decks and dubbed the sound over. Given the feedback it seems like a many people would have preferred this...so sorry for that.

A wearable album that can play itself. ---Purchasing---- New-old-stock Playbutton albums can often be found on ebay in the US: https://goo.gl/jymEsq (Note..these keep being re-listed in small batches then selling out quickly, so it's worth re-checking every now and then) A few people have asked about the clock in the corner at the end of the video.

Movies on Vinyl - VHD The forgotten 1980s Videodisc

fCWLaAwr3sM | 16 Feb 2017

Movies on Vinyl - VHD The forgotten 1980s Videodisc

You may have owned a LaserDisc or even a CED system...but the odds are that you've never seen a VHD. It's time to put that right with this comprehensive look at the third videodisc system of the eighties. My previous video all about CED - https://youtu.be/0LrPe0rwXOU Follow up videos - VHD in the UK: https://youtu.be/fKLwAwIfZT4 VHD in the USA: https://youtu.be/S8Zt6cB_NPU -----Buying VHD------ VHDs can be imported through eBay UK: https://goo.gl/aoYb1W US: https://goo.gl/QEkrle -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -----INTRO----- Special thanks to Jerobeam Fenderson for the intro animation. http://oscilloscopemusic.com ---MORE MUPPETS---- If you like the muppet outros - they are all collected in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLN2yCnHTG_6rlyYFpwUX2u0m_HVHpHO0F ----ANSWERS TO POPULAR COMMENTS------ Q) What's that google translation app called A) Google Translate Revenge of the Jedi (Insert Comic Book Guy Voice here)...Well actually George Lucas originally called 'Return of the Jedi' 'Revenge of the Jedi' but changed the name at the last minute as revenge didn't sound like something a Jedi would do. (Reply) Yep...that's why I mentioned it - I just thought it was an interesting fact worth sharing that (according to the label on this disc) it appears the film was still known as 'Revenge' in Japan despite the name change. Volume Large Dog - Thanks to helpful Japanese fluent viewers - it seems that the translation app mis-read the symbol for Big as Dog 犬 = Dog 大 = Big Thanks again to these clever people in the comments - the text on side two of the disc that was blank and inaccurately translated to "from been no", actually says "Shuuroku sarete orimasen", meaning "No recording" Star Wars (again) - back to the Comic Book Guy voice... 'Well actually you can only see Star Wars in it's un-ruined original version on LaserDisc and VHD, so when you say that these formats aren't really worth watching any more you couldn't be any more wrongerer actually. A) I'll let you in on the secret (that any true Star Wars fan should already know)...Look up "Harmy's Despecialized" - now That is the best way to see the original unchanged Star Wars...not in a 250 line low-res washed out 4:3 crop with Japanese subtitles. Q) Whats on the blank side of the disc? A) Interesting fact (but not interesting enough for me to include in the video despite shooting it)...the end of the caddy that goes in the machine has a series of notches on it that tells the machine what way up the caddy is and whether it contains a single or double sided discs. So if you get a disc like the magazine that only has one side, the machine refuses to let you insert side B. Also the machine will not let you put a disc back in the caddy the wrong way up, it only ejects when the caddy is the right way up. Like I said, not interesting enough for the video, but still a neat system. In comparison the RCA CED had no caddy orientation system so you could mess things up royally if you really wanted to. (Comment) Those monitors aren't cheap. A) I must have got lucky - mine cost about £100 (C) Blimey that's not cheap A) It is compared to the original price Q) "YOU ARE WRONG - BACK TO THE FUTURE WAS CROPPED FOR CINEMA RELEASE - IT SHOULD NOT BE SEEN IN A FULL FRAME VERSION" A) A lot of movies of this period were shot open matte in Super 35. They were cropped to a widescreen format to be shown in the cinema and then when shown on 4:3 TV screens, they often used the full open-matte frame which revealed more footage at the top and the bottom of the frame. So both versions are right, neither is wrong. Each serves a purpose. It's just that nowadays most of these old films will only be shown in their cropped versions given the proliferation of 16:9 screens in the home. ----INTERACTIVE VHD---- If you want to see some footage from the interactive VHD titles, just search for MSX VHD on YouTube...but here's one example https://youtu.be/yALEzUSQtWE If you want to see a capture of the Rainbow Disc animation https://youtu.be/Edr-iNRjzUs and here's a short clip from Starview HCT-5808 https://youtu.be/oPBuwgw1zIA

Ready for Vinyl Speakers with a built-in Phono Preamp / Stage - Roth VA4

These active speakers contain a phono stage so they can be connected directly up to a turntable without an in-built phono stage. ....CONTINUED.... This means fewer wires and power plugs. Additional audio devices can be connected via bluetooth, optical, RCA or mini-jack. It is a compact system suitable for a bedroom, dorm room, study etc. The Roth VA4 speakers are Available from eBay refurbished for just under £100 off https://ebay.to/2Je6ESj and new from AMAZON in the UK RED http://amzn.to/2kQjAS7 BLACK http://amzn.to/2jUgCYI WHITE http://amzn.to/2jCaOC5 In the USA - KANTO sell speakers with the same features BLACK: http://amzn.to/2jVA3CO RED: http://amzn.to/2jBR2qC WHITE: http://amzn.to/2kqGj6k GREY: http://amzn.to/2kqP805 Obvious Statement: The pre-amp works with the normal Moving Magnet (MM) cartridges rather than the less common high-end MC (moving coil) system. QUESTIONS Where are the camera reviews? Apologies to the people looking for new camera reviews - due to a run of ill health and bad weather I've been unable to get out and shoot the footage I need to finish off a couple of these videos - hopefully I'll get them done soon. Where is the Minidisc video? Back in January on the DAT video I mentioned that MD was going to be the subject of a future video. These format videos take me months to assemble so the MD one should be along *sometime later this year*...probably within a couple of months. Where are the puppets? I try to make one of the muppet outros a month, but they don't fit in with every video, so I wait until a suitable subject comes along that could benefit from their input. Where are the Outro Videos? In this playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLN2yCnHTG_6rlyYFpwUX2u0m_HVHpHO0F What's that black turntable? The black turntable I used in the video is a Pro-ject RPM 1.3 Genie (It’s my old turntable and I don’t recommend it. Here's my 'review' I really don't like it...it's been in the attic for a couple of years. It's too flimsy, every part on it moves whether it's supposed to or not, it cost me too much, is susceptible to picking up hum, it has a stupid anti-skating weight hanging on a piece of string that falls off all the time, the belt gets knocked off easily and is a hassle to put back on. I was so happy to replace it with my retro automatic Sansui XR-Q7, one of the best automatic direct drive turntables ever made and it cost me less than the Pro-ject RPM 1.3 Genie. I only kept this abomination in the off-chance that I might be able to use it in a future video. It does look good though - I'll give it that. Why not use classical music if you want to play something that's copyright free? Because it's not necessarily copyright free. Ok so Mozart and Beethoven are dead...but if an orchestra gets together in the Albert Hall and together with recording engineers record some of their music and put it out on a CD then that *recording* is copyright. They spent considerable money, time and effort to make that, so deserve to earn some money for it. Mozart might get jack-all but somebody who spent twenty years learning to play the violin and the record company and engineers etc etc all need to get paid. I once tried to use a section of Ode to joy - Beethoven symphony No. 9 and the video was auto-flagged for copyright infringement within seconds of being uploaded. This is why I WILL BE ORDERING A CUSTOM VINYL RECORD consisting of music from the youtube audio library https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music from a company like http://vinylify.com at my earliest convenience. -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -----INTRO----- Special thanks to Jerobeam Fenderson for the intro animation. http://oscilloscopemusic.com ----INFO---- Amazon Links are affiliated.

Q) Do you have a cold A) No I have a permanent medical condition Q) You said 33rpm, don't you mean 33 1/3 rpm A) Sigh Q) I don't want to buy one of those...they are stupid A) Don't worry, it's very unlikely you will stumble across one of these old discs by accident or be forced to purchase one though some sort of government enforced programme. Q) This looks like a gimmick A) It was a gimmick, the guy selling them said it was a gimmick in the newspaper clipping shown..nothing wrong with that. Just like picture discs, coloured vinyl, 3D covers, or performers wearing tartan, or with mop-top haircuts or pointy gold bras. . gimmicks sell music, it's how popular music works. Q) Hey have you heard of a turntable that reads records with a laser...are you ever going to review one? A) Yes, for some reason this gets mentioned on every vinyl video and I always answer with this.... The ELC Laser Turntable is still on sale ..its costs over 8000 dollars for the cheaper model, plus postage, plus import duty from Japan. Apparently it can only work with black vinyl, no coloured discs or picture discs, and any kind of dust causes a drop out. It's not for me...I'll never review one. It seems to be a bit of a joke in the vinyl turntable industry and no one has anything good to say about it. Apparently reliability is very poor. Q) Did you know you can adjust the point at which an automatic turntable returns. A) Yes..this is not my first rodeo...but I have no intention of adjusting my turntable just so it can play one disc that I don't like, at the expense of the hundreds of discs I do. Q) Didn't the group 'Justice' do this on their recent album 'Woman' A) Apparently there were a very limited number of promo copies that included a vinyl-CD... but this was not included in the regular version of this album sold in the stores. I bought it when it came out last year and was a tad disappointed by this. Their album is still good though. ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Design Classic: Grundig Ocean Boy 210 Radio

Design Classic: Grundig Ocean Boy 210 Radio

A quick look at the Grundig Ocean Boy 210 radio from 1970. Also known as the Transistor 3005 in some countries. A previous Design Classic video can be found here: https://youtu.be/ypex04AvuWA My radio came from eBay: https://goo.gl/qEtUqb This site is a good resource for old Grundig Radios (and they sell some too) http://www.grundigradio.de FAQs The song on the radio at 05:50 is 'Jailbird' by Shells Lots of people are suggesting that you can use a FM transmitter when/if FM is switched off. I don't really see this...a FM transmittter can transmit one signal at one frequency. So if someone were to get a DAB radio and attach it to a transmitter...the FM radio would only receive the single station being broadcast by the DAB radio and if they wanted to change the station they would have to do it on the DAB radio. Seems like a lot of fuss to go to...might as well just listen on the DAB radio in the first place. But then again responding to comments gets some people angry...so it's probably best if I just butt out. Apologies but the word "received" is spelt incorrectly at one point. I am holding an inquest into who is responsible and no stone will go unturned in apprehending the suspect to bring him or her to justice. -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Digital Audio Tape: The one DAT got away

Digital Audio Tape: The one DAT got away

A look at DAT - tape that sounded as good as a CD and was supposed to replace cassettes...however the recording industry decided it had to die. FAQs & Updates are below CORRECTIONS Long Play Mode is 32kHz (added as an annotation before the video went live) WARNING This video may contain the occasional redundant turn of phrase...e.g. "DAT Tape" if this is of concern, please do not press play. FAQs Q) Are you going to do a video about Minidisc? A) Yes - (see 21:22) Q) When A) I don't know Q) Hey why didn't you go into detail about the computer backup tape drives that used DAT? A) Because this was a video about DAT...Digital Audio Tape. You're thinking of DDS Digital Data Storage. I won't be making a video about DDS, so if it's something you know a lot about, and you think there would be an audience for a video on DDS, you should cover it. Q) Did you know that you can record off a radio using a computer? A) I'd guess that everyone knows this...I was only pointing out that Modern HiFi systems rarely contain a separate recording component any more. You can always record anything if you put your mind to it. Q) Hey LOL you said that we are using Napster...you're so out of date dude...etc A) Here's what's going on - Remember Mr Angry in 1986 trying to stop DAT (pretty much what the first half of the video is about)...well when I say..."of course he wasn't to know that in 15 years or so we would be using file sharing programmes like Napster". The maths works like this 1986 + 15 years = 2002 (2017 is 31 years later...not 15).

Basic Dolby Atmos Home Install & Review

Basic Dolby Atmos Home Install & Review

In this video I upgrade a 5.1 home cinema system to a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos & DTS-X Capable system. It features a review of the Marantz NR1607 AV receiver and impressions of how effective Atmos is in the most basic two front upfiring speaker configuration in a small room.....continued.... Featuring the Marantz NR1607 AV Receiver, PSB Imagine XA Atmos Upfiring Speakers, PSB XB Bookshelf Speakers and PSB XC Centre Speaker. UPDATE - CORRECTION - CLARIFICATION I must have done a very bad job in the video of getting across the Atmos experience. So let me try again. I really like my Atmos system. It sounds very very good. It's much better than my old system. The sound feels like it's coming from all around. "It feels like I'm in the middle of a bubble of sound". Now my comments in the video were about expectations vs reality. I expected to be able to identify exactly where a sound was coming from...imagine someone dropping a coin upstairs on a wooden floor. In reality with just a couple of speakers that type of directional focus just isn't achievable...it also woundn't be achievable with four speakers as sound dissipates like a cone..rather than focusses like a laser. So whilst the sound comes from all around...it won't make you duck. It is though...and I repeat...it is, very good and much better than 5.1 ADDITIONAL INSTALL INFO As I'm using upfiring speakers and have a small room with my seating sposition close to the rear wall, adding rear upfiring speakers is something that manufacturers recommend avoiding. The reason for this is because I would be too close to the rear speakers, so would hear the sound emanating from the speakers rather than the sound reflected off the ceiling...thereby making the installation of rear Atmos pointless. In a small room with upfiring speakers, it is recommended that you only install the front pair.

A) After I got a 65" 4K OLED TV I've just been watching that. The room couldn't accomodate a large enough projector screen to make it worthwhile. Q) You don't need expensive HDMI cables A) If you try passing 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 through a HDMI cable that doesn't support 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 you'll soon see why you need to use the right cable. *I'm not suggesting paying a lot of money for a cable* you can get a cheap one, but just make sure it supports the standards you need or you experience connection issues.

MQS SD - The Newest Physical Retail Music Format

GbGDPFVjvVU | 13 Dec 2016

MQS SD - The Newest Physical Retail Music Format

A look at a Hi-Res pre-recorded physical music format, MQS SD. There is some important info in this video description text box... MQS SD is sold in South Korea & HK for use with the Astell & Kern Hi-Res Personal Audio Players which feature MicroSD card storage slots. Astell & Kern use MQS to define HD Audio in a FLAC format with a 24bit encoding. According to their specs the KHz sample rate can vary depending on the source between 48KHz and 192KHz. The Beatles LP seems to be a special case because it’s just 44.1 KHz and I suspect this is because that’s the best source currently available. Back in 2014 manufacturers and record companies got together to define a system to code HD audio files. Here’s what they came up with. MQ-A - Taken from an Analogue Master Source MQ-C - Sourced from a 16bit 44.1KHz CD master and upsampled MQ-D - Sourced directly from a Direct Stream Digital DSD Master MQ-P - Sourced from a minimum 20bit master with a minimum 48KHz sample rate I haven’t seen these in use anywhere since, perhaps the descriptions were considered too verbose when you then combine them with the filetype AIFF, ALAC, FLAC or WAV. So what is MQS? Well as the video shows it’s not exactly nailed down in A&K’s description and I suspect that it’s just a simplification of the existing system. If you look at this South Korean music download site http://www.groovers.kr/mqs/chart/domestic?d=-1091701920 you can see they use MQS to identify HD tracks and then use a code like MQS 24/192 to identify the quality. The logo stands out in red on the page and the system is slightly simpler than stating a file is “HD Audio MQ-D FLAC 24/192” Whether the average human ear is capable of hearing the difference between all these things - I haven't a clue and I don't have a horse in that race...I'm just interested in collecting formats. I'm particularly interested in physical packed pre-recorded music...music in a box sold as a retail product. This is the most recent packaged music format (as far as I know). Yes SD cards and FLAC are not new...but putting them together in a nice box with cover-art and a booklet is...and that's what this video is about...something you probably weren't aware existed. SNAKEOIL - It's a flippant joke at the vague definition of the benefits of MQS over normal FLAC HiRes audio files...is there really any difference? It appears MQS is just 24 bit FLAC. I AM NOT SAYING HI-RES AUDIO IS SNAKEOIL ...just that I can see no discernible technical differences between 24 bit FLAC and MQS. Perhaps there is one...and if so A&K need to do a better job of defining exactly what the specific benefits of MQS difference are. Here is a link to all the MQS SD Card Albums. http://mall.groovers.kr/front/productlist.php?code=001000000000&listnum=12&sort=&block=0&gotopage=1 I bought my Beatles MQS SD Album on ebay - here's a link that should find any for sale https://goo.gl/MMOKDM Don't overpay though! Incidentally there's also another file format called MQA - here's some info on that http://www.soundandvision.com/content/hi-res-label-unamas-release-10-mqa-recordings This seems to have no connection to the MQ-A categorisation I mentioned above (which describes the origin of a recording - like AAD or DDD you used to see on CD's) This MQA (without the dash) actually seems to be a separate format that is backwardly compatible with some other formats...it's all very confusing. UPDATE No one has to buy these. Your existing choice of music delivery medium will continue to function irrespective of the success or failure of MQS SD. I didn't anticipate that showing an obscure music delivery format that is only marketed in South Korea for playback of audio via the micro SD card slot on a high-end digital media player would be so controversial. -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

I'm aiming for a Jan 2017 release date for the DAT vid. FAQs Laser Turntable So just to reiterate why it's very unlikely I'll ever review the ELP laser turntable. 1. It cost $8000 for the budget model the last time they published the prices (they took the prices off their website a couple of years ago and made it POA). It also has to be imported from Japan and you pay the postage and the duty charges. 2. It can't read coloured, clear or picture disc vinyl 3. As it converts the analogue record to digital, dust is a big issue. Rather than a small crackle or a pop it's now a dropout in the audio. 4. It has been out for years (decades) and yet still appears to be seen as a silly novelty by the HiFi press. That's worrying for a $8000+ product. 7+TRACKS PER SIDE Most frequently repeated question: What do you do if there are more than 7 tracks on one side of an LP? The obvious and predictably boring answer: Press play & you can listen to your entire 15+ track vinyl record You can still also navigate directly to any of the first 7 tracks on either side, and play both sides without getting up to flip the record. If you were expecting it to blow up and set on fire...sorry for the disappointment. ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

RetroTech: Seiko Executive Egg

An unusual big plastic gold egg from the 1980s I haven't been able to find out any additional details regarding this in magazines or adverts other than there was also a white model (which I've seen sold on eBay). The model is Talking Egg (TE 100) and it was made in Japan. The instruction booklet and warranty show the address as Seiko Instruments U.S.A. Inc. Consumer Products Division, 2990 W. Lomita Blvd, Torrance, CA 90505 You can view this document on my website: http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2016/12/3/seiko-executive-talking-egg.html It's likely that the word Sekisui printed on the base refers to Sekisui Plastics of Japan who could have manufactured the outer casing.

It was an editing error. Every video starts off with a copy and paste of the previous one to retain the up to date patreon list. All audio is deleted apart from the intro and outro music. One second of audio from the previous video was not deleted in error. So that's it - as always, real life is rarely as exciting as an overactive imagination.

RetroTech: Sony's bizarre Ruvi camcorder

Qt_ct4wBnv8 | 25 Oct 2016

RetroTech: Sony's bizarre Ruvi camcorder

I love a good bad idea - and this was one of the best. Sony's 1998's Ruvi was a one-off camcorder experiment. In the video you can find out what made this a unique failure. -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Sometimes Patrons have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 GPQOC Guessed Potential Questions or Comments (Q=Question, C=Comment) Q) Is the tape a loop? A) No it runs from one reel to the other then you rewind it. Q) Will you do a video about that MicroMV camcorder? A) Yes I plan to, one day Q) Would the video have looked sharper with a brand new video cartridge? A) Worn out tape will usually show drop-outs (small white lines) but this tape didn't have any which indicates the tape was still fine. If this was my camera I doubt I'd have recorded on it 'hundreds of times' - I'd probably have used it a few times over a year or two then upgraded to a different camera. Q) If the camera only has an analog output how did you capture the video? A) With a video capture device hooked up to the composite output from the camera. Q) Did you change the video title? A) Yes, I couldn't decide on a suitable word, but the Quarrymen did all right after a name change, so what's in a name. Q) Why are there no muppets in this video? A) They don't appear in every video - they just come out when something 'amusing' comes to mind for them to express. Today - I have nothing. Writer's block. C) Actually I think you'll find that those pentalobe screws were.... A) .... C) That shirt needed ironing A) Yes it did - I wore a creased shirt to demonstrate the lack of shadow-definition on the Ruvi (this is not true). Q) I really need to see what MiniDV video looked like from that JVC camcorder (for some unfathomable reason) A) Well here's some indoors footage I took with it in 1998 https://youtu.be/7Bz9W9IuLPg Q) What's this New York in 1993 in HD thing you mentioned? A) So you're the person who hasn't seen it... more info here http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2016/4/22/retro-tech-that-time-when-hd-came-on-vhs.html Q)Where do you get the old magazines from? A) https://books.google.com/ C) You said that the footage 'might have looked like it came from 20 years earlier than 1998, that's 1978, video in 1978 wouldn't have looked like that. A) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole C) In those magazines there is a camcorder for $23,000 A) Typo Q) Do you have downloadable full size photos of the interior of that video cartridge A) Why yes, yes I do - http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2016/10/25/i-love-a-good-bad-idea-and-the-sony-ruvi-was-one-of-the-best.html C) So I noticed that at the beginning of the video in a totally unscripted bit when you spoke to the camera uninterrupted for three minutes that you referred to 8 years as as few...however I don't think 8 is a few...I think it's more than that. A) Is this really what you wanted to do with your life, trying to pick apart videos on youtube? Have a try at making something...it's a lot harder than sitting watching a phone on the toilet while eating Cheetos and complaining about everything, however it can be a lot more rewarding too. You never know you might become a youtube megastar and experience things from the other side. C) Hey dude I would have just spooled new tape inside that cartridge from a Hi8 cassette A) Cool story bro. C) I saw some white chewing gum stuck to the camera A) It was white-tac used to hold the camera on it's end in one of the size comparison photos - I neglected to remove it and it now has completely ruined the entire internet for everyone...sorry about that.

The Master Tape: Beans, Bond & Beatles

The Master Tape: Beans, Bond & Beatles

An old reel-to-reel tape obtained from eBay that has an interesting tale to tell. *NOTE 19:27 -19:41 muted due to a content match claim by John Lennon's Ghost*. Click SHOW MORE to expand this text box Master tapes can sometimes be found on eBay: https://goo.gl/weC9Cc However often these are just the master that would have been used to dub across for a cassette release rather than the original master. If you want to know more about the history of CTS studios - http://www.malonedigital.com/studios-cts.htm The Heinz Soup Advertisement mentioned in the video can be found here: http://www.hatads.org.uk/catalogue/record/c3c30b24-333f-403e-b022-9360851fa36f If there's one thing people like to correct each other over more than soldering - it's the Beatles - so I should advise that if I have made any factual errors in this video they cannot now be corrected....trying to post a correction on a video is like shouting at traffic...the world just keeps on turning...as the comments scroll off the screen. The various close up videos of the reel to reel were shot later just to have something to look at when the audio was playing...you'll notice the amount of tape on the reels bears no relationship to the audio segment being played (and the reels are moving at 7.5ips). UPDATE_ there's no longer any need to translate the German advert...it's been done a number of times in the comments...and it's for a brand of cigarettes called Carlton.

A) I don't know - the seller on eBay came and went years ago. Q) Why don't you mention prices A) Prices change over time - I don't know what year you will be watching this.

Commodore SX-64 Faults & Fixes

Commodore SX-64 Faults & Fixes

In this video you can see amateur repairs performed upon the Commodore SX-64 Executive Computer involving the SID, PLA, Graphics Memory, Keyboard Cable, Disc Drive. (CLICK SHOW MORE..) There's also a bit of entertainment. Here are some links you might find useful: C64 SD Card Reader: https://goo.gl/Elvvwv SX-64 Computers on ebay: https://goo.gl/yVvH8A Replacement Chips & Heatsink Kit (UK): http://store.retroleum.co.uk/c64-chips Diagnosis & Repair of the SX-64: http://www.zimmers.net/commie/docs/sx64.txt The soldering iron kit I bought Amazon UK http://amzn.to/2dc6zLj Short Male to Female 25 Pin Ribbon Cable https://goo.gl/UwxQlW Epyx Fast Load Cartridge: https://goo.gl/1Ssiqz All three Seasons of Halt & Catch Fire can be seen on Amazon Prime in the UK: http://amzn.to/2dc900k FAQs I anticipate one comment may be suggestions that I could use a C64 emulator instead - and if that's what you want to do, then there's nothing stopping you, go and have some fun. My preference is to use the original hardware, because I'm as interested in the hardware as I am in the software that runs on it. And pleeeeeeese, no more electronics tips....I read the same ones on all the videos whenever I show a circuit board... desoldering guns, hot air, desoldering wick, desoldering braid, where to cut the legs, the heat of the soldering iron, where to hold the iron, how long to hold it, what type of rosin solder to use, tin the tip, use flux, use flux off, use IPA...etc etc etc etc....I understand you want to help, and thanks for that...but in reality it's all just a bit off-putting. The issue is that I'm just an amateur tinkerer...not an expert..it's just like a dad shouting at a kid playing football (soccer) that he's rubbish at it and they were much better at it than him and he should try curving the ball into the net rather than falling over his own feet all the time. He's not going to get better...he's going to decide he doesn't like football as it's no fun. So just relax...soldering only takes up 30 seconds of this 25 minute video...just try and enjoy the rest. By the way...the soldering worked out fine anyway. UPDATE - since 98% of the comments posted are about soldering - it seems like I'm in the minority in not being interested in the subject. Looks like there's a great opportunity here for someone to start a soldering chat website (...but it won't be me). 3D Printed SX-64 Keyboard Cable. - so here's a thing, there is a 3D model for a SX-64 cable on Thingverse...now whilst I don't have a 3D printer, you can click a button to 'order this printed' - so I did...paid the money, and a couple of days later I get a refund with the message 'this design cannot be printed' - so that's the end of that story. Hey why not use a Gender Changer?...because it doesn't work. I tried one and the pins don't extend far enough to connect with the connectors in the keyboard....I then tried to cut it down and it disintegrated...so No, Gender Changers Don't Work This video is a month of real time condensed into a few minutes...there's lots of things not in here...a full hour of desoldering...three different cables....waiting for chips in the post, what you see is the stuff worth showing...the boring frustrating unsuccessful dead-ends aren't in the video for reasons of entertainment. -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Sometimes Patrons have early access to videos ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ----- OTHER LINKS------- Commodore SX-64 Advertisement: https://youtu.be/5PygDf6E94o New C64 Games to buy on disc & tape - https://goo.gl/hxf8kA The C64 is being re-made (hopefully) more info http://www.the64.computer Techmoan Accompanying Blog Entry: http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2016/10/5/two-faulty-sx-64s-vs-one-man-with-half-a-plan.html

The projector shown has been provided on loan for this demonstration. Whether you choose to buy one or not will have no financial impact upon myself. I receive income from the google adsense adverts shown alongside this video. Techmoan is a tech and entertainment channel and does not make sponsored videos. -----------FAQs----------- Q) Can it play Video? A) Not in the way a home cinema projector plays videos - however pre-recorded line drawn animations are a possibility with the right player software. Here’s an example https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/776462775505694720 Q) Can you use it to play Oscilloscope demos? A) Yes with the right software this could work as a giant oscilloscope display. Q) What kind of games could you display on a laser projector? A) There is a limitation to the number of lines that can be shown at any one time - however here is a demonstration of a simple laser game https://youtu.be/7WQV_62BP_U Q) Can you put the handle/mount on upside-down? A) Yes it can be unscrewed and put back on the bottom...however there is absolutely no point as the image can be flipped in software and when the handle is on the bottom it won't move fully forward or back, so the LaserDock will no longer fit in its case. Q) Why was this video uploaded twice? A) Somehow the first upload of this video got corrupted on youtube so it had to be re-uploaded. It takes a while to upload & process a 5GB file, the video was not available during this period. Q) Actually...I think you'll find that it's not the "worlds first"....blah blah blah.. A) The title of this video contains a quote (identifiable by the quote marks) from here http://www.wickedlasers.com/laserdock Take up any grievances you have with them. Q) What is the point of the Interlock? A) The item provided in the box is a simple wire bridge between two points - this can be extended out to a separate switch used to deactivate the projector remotely (as projectors are commonly installed out of reach they could be difficult to turn off) - here is an example of a switch http://en.beglec.com/product/4210/Laser-Interlock Q) What do the FDA have to do with approving a laser device for use in the USA? A) Here's the appropriate page on their website http://www.fda.gov/radiation-emittingproducts/radiationemittingproductsandprocedures/homebusinessandentertainment/laserproductsandinstruments/default.htm Q) What do the insides look like? A) This: https://c1.iggcdn.com/indiegogo-media-prod-cld/image/upload/c_limit,w_620/v1471818472/cknlakmujkakcvt1qtyw.jpg For more technical info and support - visit the Reddit Sub https://www.reddit.com/r/laserdock ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

ZkCIdufSGS8 | 01 Sep 2016

Retro-Tech: SAE Mk6 FM Tuner - My Vintage HiFi holy grail

The SAE Mark 6 Tuner is the HiFi component I never thought I'd be able to own, but after years of searching I finally managed to buy one. In this video I'll show you what makes it special to me. EXPAND for more...READ THIS TEXT BOX - for repeated comments If you want to check if there are currently any Scope Tuners for sale on eBay - try a link below. UK: http://goo.gl/FPDJo0 US: http://goo.gl/Tlq3o1 DE: http://goo.gl/9WA256 ...and of course you can always buy a Kaossilator Pro from Amazon http://amzn.to/2bEP18X (UK) or http://amzn.to/2bEHtIc (US) Four years ago I made a video about the Kaossilator 2 - here it is https://youtu.be/XkImH1WkWRw CORRECTIONS; 03:32 75 ohms 11:45 Beat It (see 11:10) FURTHER INFO Things re-posted multiple times in the comments ODD FREQUENCIES US radio frequencies step in odd numbers .1.3.5 etc in other countries the standards are different....the UK for example radio stations can use any digit...e.g. 95.1 & 102.0 ...loads written about this in the comments. NOTE.....THE TUNER IS ANALOG...BUT THE DISPLAY IS DIGITAL...so what this means is that as I'm turning the dial it picks up all the frequencies...e.g. 98.1, 98.2, 98.3, 98.4...however the display only changes when it reaches .1,.3,.5, so whilst the display can't show 102.4, I can tune it in perfectly, it's at the top of 102.3 or the bottom of 102.5 ...it's an analogue tuning dial....so there are no problems using this at all, none, not one...nada...it works very very well thanks. CAPACITORS Capacitor replacement - discussed to death in the comments ...read through them if you find capacitor chat interesting. :-/ VISUAL OSCILLOSCOPE MUSIC There are demos you can play on oscilloscopes - most notably by Jerobeam Fenderson....yes I've tried them and they work.

Netgear Arlo REVIEW - The Battery-powered Indoor/Outdoor Security Camera

Netgear Arlo REVIEW - The Battery-powered Indoor/Outdoor Security Camera

The Netgear Arlo is the only HD wireless HD home security camera system where the cameras are powered by batteries. In this video I install the system...and record some garden wildlife.

Security of the camera itself was covered in the video... see 08:53 If you were concerned about tampering then don't use the magnetic mount - that's only an option provided for convenience, useful in my enclosed back garden or inside the house but elsewhere you would be expected to mount the camera using THE TRIPOD MOUNT ...just like ever other security camera - it would be screwed to the wall and located out of reach. All cameras will be damaged if you throw a brick at them - this is not a unique feature to this camera however If you think someone would attempt to unscrew the camera from the tripod - perhaps they burglar is particularly well prepared and isn't concerned that your camera is recording their image and uploading video to the cloud and they implausibly carry around set of ladders with them - then secure your camera to the tripod mount with Loctite Adhesive in the tripod screw threads. ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Fascinating Vintage 20 Cassette Carousel from 1972 : Panasonic RS-296US

RJo13FP4UpI | 14 Aug 2016

Fascinating Vintage 20 Cassette Carousel from 1972 : Panasonic RS-296US

Retro-Tech: According to the adverts - the Panasonic RS-296US could play 2.5 days of music non-stop...that's roughly the same play time to the '1000 songs in your pocket' that the first 5GB Apple iPod boasted in 2001. NOTE 2.5 days of play time equates to 60 hours which would require 20x 180-min cassettes. Whilst these tapes did exist at one point, 180-minute lengths were also very fragile and best avoided. A more realistic play time is to load this machine up with 20x 90-minute cassettes which gives you 30 hours, and that's why I refer to the 'day and a half' of continuous music at the end of video. ----------Links------------- The Antikythera Mechanism I mention at the beginning* is a 2000 year old computer that has been in a number of documentaries - someone has uploaded a BBC video about it here: [Since Deleted] You may have spotted two special cassettes in the video - a Back to the Future Replica "Edward Van Halen" tape and a Guardians of the Galaxy "Awesome Mix Tape Vol. 1" - both were provided by my good friend Hugo from Walkman Archive - you can find more info on his tapes here: BTTF: http://goo.gl/k86dod GOTG: http://goo.gl/HMd5GT My Akai "Auto-reverse the hard way" video can be found here: https://youtu.be/2CE_zmpHcWQ My website is here: http://goo.gl/m0i0jg Youtube Audio Library music can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patron Supporters usually get to see videos early. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 * when I mention that the RS296US's place in history is similar to the Antikythera device - this is a patently ludicrously overblown statement merely said for comic effect. ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Car Stereo Tape Adapters - 8-Track to Cassette to MP3

Car Stereo Tape Adapters - 8-Track to Cassette to MP3

What do you do when new releases dry up for your car stereo's tape format but you don't want to install a whole new head unit? The answer is to buy an adapter*. In the video below you can see two adapters. One that ushered in the compact cassette age and the other that saw them out again 25 years later. Original idea suggested by Mike Finnell https://twitter.com/techfinnell/status/715530074028699648 Buy You can find the MP3 cassette player on eBay: http://goo.gl/WSNPX5 (I should warn you that this is a cheaply constructed plastic novelty gadget, not a quality device) Watch My Harman Kardon Speaker Review is here: https://youtu.be/PnIJSbVDom4 Support This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patreon Supporters often get to see videos early. Subscribe http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 *I decided to use the spelling 'Adapter' rather than 'Adaptor' as this is the most most commonly used one (it's not an American vs British English spelling thing) - see this http://writingexplained.org/adapter-vs-adaptor-difference I have been informed that I have STOLEN the idea for this video from a video that until yesterday I'd never seen - here is that video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q2wMRh1nug The idea for this video came from a 31/3/16 Tweet from Mike Finnell. https://twitter.com/techfinnell/status/715530074028699648 I then purchased the items I'd need to make it - here's my ebay order history http://imgur.com/a/5aA0k but it's really no surprise to me that this idea has been done before - after all they sold Cassette to 8-Track adaptors and they also sold MP3 to Cassette adaptors....both are still freely available on ebay so guess what anyone who makes videos about old tech and also owns both adaptors and an 8-track player is going to do. To be honest I expected there would be half a dozen videos on youtube doing this. The fact there is just one other was a surprise. See The Simpsons already did it...for more about how many obvious situations or ideas have been done before. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpsons_Already_Did_It People have been messing with MP3s and 8-tracks for years...here's one video I remember seeing in 2013 when I was first getting into 8-track https://youtu.be/63kxRMJA69w - it's from 2010 where a chap has modded an 8-track cart to fit an iPod inside. ..and here's an earlier article from 2009 about doing the same thing https://web.archive.org/web/20101007192843/http://goingincirclez.com/Garage/MP3track I don't search youtube to see if someone has made a video on the same topics as I am working on, so similar coincidences will very probably happen again....in fact I guarantee that many of the subjects of my videos will have been discussed by someone at some time somewhere. I know that I've seen more than one person making a video about the Commodore 64 and listing the best games for it - I never considered that these people had Stolen the idea for these videos from each other - but perhaps that's because my brain is functioning normally. I have a room full of old tech, bought just to be used in future videos. I'm sure many other people will also own these same things and may also make videos about them. If the idea of two or more people making videos about the same gadgets from the past is in some way traumatising for you - it may be best to avoid this channel as I can't promise that all my consumer electronics items are unique (because consumer electronics items aren't unique). ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

A) I have one 2.5K stabilised video clip available in the samples - HOWEVER....If you want to see another video review of this camera - then this one is very good https://youtu.be/IH-JrsWxmx4 It also shows the other resolutions I didn't test in my video and demonstrates the image stabilisation. I would always recommend watching more than one review before spending this amount of money on a camera. Q) Would stabilisation remove the vibrations you get when you mount a camera on a bike's handlebars A) No - I've used the best in-camera stabilisation (on the Sony Action cams)- and it can't fix this problem. Handlebar vibrations are too quick and too severe. Q) Can it record and charge at the same time? A) Yes - this is a standard feature for all action cams I've tested. Q Can the screen be turned off during recording. A) Yes. Q) Does the camera get hot? A) No. Q) How did I mount the camera to my pocket? A) Watch this video https://youtu.be/2O9aLYSntTQ Q) Can you record and stream over wifi at the same time? A) Yes (this is pretty much a standard feature for wifi connected cameras)...but as you can see in the video, there is significant lag. Q) Can you output over HDMI/Composite? A) I don't have the appropriate cables, however it says that you can "Preview and play back videos and photos on your TV via the optional cable". on the Specifications page here: http://yitechnology.com/actioncamera/specs/id/5.html Q) Battery Life in other modes A) Roughly the same as in 4K - e.g. 1080p60, WiFi off, Screen Off - battery life = 2hrs 2mins Q) - More like a weird situation I seem to be in where a number of people insist on 'informing' me that to digitally stabilise 4K video you would need a sensor larger than 4K.... A) I know, here is a video from a while ago where I talk about image stabilisation https://youtu.be/eNZ6bg9uk0k?t=6m35s *A FEW COMMON FEATURES ON ACTION CAMS* EVERY HD ACTION CAMERA I'VE EVER TESTED - will charge off USB, will power and record at the same time, charges over USB, charges from a standard 5V 2.1amp USB power supply, can be powered from a USB battery power pack....this is standard. ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

I imported some Cinch Jones connectors from the US, and wired them up to RCA sockets but the sound recorded on the wire was clearer when recorded through the mic. I didn't include this section in the video because it was as dull as this explanation about it' ...and if you wanted to know why I didn't record the audio out of the headphone output....well the levels were very low and the sound had an audible whistle.

Retro HiFi: DBX Disc - The best thing you probably haven't heard

1qtxPSR8q98 | 05 Jun 2016

Retro HiFi: DBX Disc - The best thing you probably haven't heard

In this video I demonstrate DBX Discs, and am blown away to find that that this forgotten 40-odd year old technology sounds as good (or better) than anything that I've ever heard. You can still find old DBX Disc decoders on ebay http://goo.gl/3dC8qX where you can also find some DBX encoded records. The Discogs marketplace is also a good place to source DBX discs. https://www.discogs.com/search/?q=dbx+encoded&type=all If you want to read the vinyl inlay card info about DBX disc - it can be downloaded from here: http://pc.cd/pUPctalK My related blog entry: http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2016/6/5/retro-hifi-the-dbx-disc.html Click here to subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 This channel can be supported via Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/techmoan One more thing - I didn't try this before because to me it seemed a patently ludicrous idea....however seeing as so many asked for this, today I tried playing a non-dbx vinyl record through the decoder to see what happened. It should come as no surprise to anyone that when you use a decoder to decode something that hasn't been encoded....it doesn't work.. The results sounded terrible. Like putting a pillow over a speaker. Or putting your fingers in your ears. Unlistenable. Rubbish. Awful.. Poor. Bad. As The Jam once said "The public gets what the public wants"....so in a (soon to be proved misguided) attempt to placate the angry crowds brandishing pitchforks and flaming torches - HERE IS A DIGITAL RECORDING of the first two minutes of Pramlatta's Hips. http://pc.cd/7pCctalK Wow whatever happened to humour....so many people pointing out “that’s not a lady” on the DBX information card. I mean come on, there is a humourous air to the video overall, it’s got flipping puppets in it so you know straight off it’s not going be the News At Ten, then on top of that it actually says “*j/k” overlaid on the screen during the joke itself. I don’t know how it would be possible to to signpost a joke any more that that other than saying...”the following words are a joke” but that would surely become tiresome. Try to lighten up a bit...have some fun, you’re only here once. ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Retro Tech: This 1960s BGM Machine played the Biggest Cassettes ever made

Retro Tech: This 1960s BGM Machine played the Biggest Cassettes ever made

A look at the largest music cartridge format ever made ....and the machine that played it, the 3M Cantata 700. Launched in the 1960s but still used in some places until the 1990s. You can download a poorly recorded sample of the music here: http://goo.gl/zxC6OA The problems with dubbing - I've spooled one cartridge onto my reel to reel machine and there is a lot of leakage between tracks (the sound of the mono music recorded on the left output can be heard on the separate mono music played from the right). Also the sound is very low when played at 3.75ips and then slowed 50% in editing. A number of people said they used to record their own tapes at home...but given the fact the mono tracks aren't in line with the tracks on a home 4-track reel to reel I feel this may be mis-remembered. ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

You can power a Dashcam via your OBD port (but perhaps you shouldn't)

The Gramovox Vertical Turntable - REVIEW

kvcoci3QLEk | 06 May 2016

The Gramovox Vertical Turntable - REVIEW

The Floating Record Vertical Turntable was a successful Kickstarter campaign.The idea was to make a quality turntable that takes up less shelf space, looks great and sounds good. Did they deliver - watch the video to find out. The official website is: http://www.gramovox.com NOTE : AUDIO HAS BEEN SWAPPED OUT due to greedy record companies claiming for 3 seconds of audio. As a result I've replaced the audio and all references to the records I used - so now they can make nothing. Great forward thinking.

There's more to '4K' UHD Blu-ray than the resolution.

RtTIaa-ZgL0 | 29 Apr 2016

There's more to '4K' UHD Blu-ray than the resolution.

Extra resolution is the headline feature of a UHD Blu-ray...but this may not be the thing you notice. NOTE - THE EFFECT OF HDR ...IS.....NOT...VISIBLE...ON...YOUTUBE WHAT I AM DEMONSTRATING IN THIS VIDEO IS THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE...HOWEVER YOU CAN ONLY SEE HOW THIS LOOKS IN PERSON ....ON YOUTUBE IT JUST LOOKS DARKER The TV used in this video is an LG 65EF950V (aka 65EF9500) - a 65" 4K HDR capable OLED with a 10 bit panel, HDCP 2.2, HDMI 2.0a. Notice when I said that I couldn't see a MASSIVE difference in resolution on a 65" TV when sat 10 ft away.....this is not the same as not being able to see ANY difference - It is of course noticeably sharper, but not MASSIVELY so. What makes a BIG difference though is the HDR..but this can only be appreciated IN PERSON. The intention of this video is to suggest that you don't just think of a UHD blu-ray as being a blu-ray with more resolution - because that's just one of the features and frankly quite probably the least interesting one.

VCD vs UHD (Oldest & Newest active video disc formats)

VCD vs UHD (Oldest & Newest active video disc formats)

New movies still come out on the VCD format, 23 years after its introduction. How does a VCD stack up against the latest video format - 2016's UHD Blu-ray VCDs were purchased from YesAsia http://www.yesasia.com/global/en/movies-videos.html UHD Blu-ray on Amazon UK: http://amzn.to/1VWnm8N UHD Blu-ray on Amazon US: http://amzn.to/1Ul4Nta You can subscribe to this channel by clicking here: http://www.youtube.com/user/techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 The Techmoan channel can be supported via https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Pleeeeeeeeeeeeese stop posting that the VCDs are bootlegs...they're bloody not....they come from yesasia (link above) and are licenced releases from http://www.deltamac.com.hk/newdeltamac/chi/product.php?type=product&item=vcd Also....wow, what’s with the all the people taking this video seriously? I wouldn’t believe there would be more than 3 or 4 people on the planet that would think that a comparison of UHD vs VCD was something that has any value to it, but it seems there are hundreds who want to argue with the outcome. It’s a *JOKE* it’s patently absurd, ludicrous and farcical. If you take this seriously, then there’s an exiled prince that will send you an email soon, be sure to send him some money because he really will send you millions in return. ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

It therefore looks likely that this is an iMovie bug rather than any issue with the Cube+. UPDATE 2 - You may be interested to know that the Cube+ WiFi utilises the 802.11N standard...this explains the snappy WiFi streaming performance. I couldn't find the specs for this anywhere, but an interrogation of the WiFi signal shows that it's 802.11n 2.4ghz. ***BATTERY-LIFE BATTERY-LIFE BATTERY-LIFE BATTERY-LIFE BATTERY-LIFE*** It was mentioned and shown on screen at 00:26 as being up to 90mins. In my tests in 1080p30 I got 85 Minutes with WiFi off or 75 mins with WiFi on) ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Auto-Reverse: The Hard Way

Auto-Reverse: The Hard Way

A look at Akai's impressively complicated 1972 Invert-O-Matic Cassette Auto-Reverse mechanism. Features a New-Old-Stock Akai CS-55D tape deck. The Techmoan channel can be crowdfunded on Patreon at... http://patreon.com/techmoan A Couple of updates *CLICK SHOW MORE* If you want to see one of the Philips plastic chute machines in action, here it is https://youtu.be/rjXEiY8677w?t=1m53s and it's not half as exciting to watch as you may have imagined. The most common comment on this video is to mention the auto-reverse deck from Nakamichi seen in the movie 9 1/2 weeks. Not too sure why when it’s already shown in this video. But since everyone wants to talk about the Nakamichi mechanism - here is a video showing it in action. https://youtu.be/5mEQGmyDhiY?t=2m43s Also for some reason loads of people have insisted I state that amongst the other auto-reverse mechanisms not shown in the video, you can use a four track head so the tape can be played in either direction, this solution is commonly seen in small *players* like Walkman (Walkmen?) and car stereos. NOTE: 4 track heads are *not common* in *recorders* .... just players. The machine featured in this video is a *recorder*. ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Retro HiFi - The Missing Link

bsQafEQUfbo | 10 Feb 2016

Retro HiFi - The Missing Link

This is a video about two HiFi components that could do with making a comeback. The video features two devices, The first is the Realistic APM-200 - an external add-on VU meter sold in the 1970s & 1980s through Radioshack and Tandy. The main subject of the video though is the Onkyo U30 - an RCA Switchbox/Pre-amp. I really don't see why an enterprising manufacturer couldn't bring back either one or both of these types of devices. If they were to go a step further and add in a DAC, then we'd really have an handy all-in-one HiFi component. Perhaps I've just given someone the idea for a Kickstarter.

Cassettes - better than you don't remember

Cassettes - better than you don't remember

In this *Beginners Introduction to Compact Cassette* - I'm using Metal Tapes and Dolby S for the first time to see if a cassette tape really can sound 'almost as good as a CD'. Useful links below - click SHOW MORE to reveal.. eBay UK - Cassette Players http://goo.gl/awzyQR eBay US - Cassette Decks http://goo.gl/sfgahf If you are looking to buy the same model of machine I bought - the model is the Sony TC-S1 - this link will search for it on eBay UK http://goo.gl/leqEIP However the TC-S1 is part of the Sony Scala system and some people list it under this - so this link will look for the Sony Scala on eBay UK http://goo.gl/TUFz82 Whatever eBay search you are doing - it's advisable to expand it to include the rest of Europe - the prices and condition are often better if you source a machine from Germany, Austria, the Netherlands etc. Don't just search for Dolby S - as often this spec is not mentioned in the title of an auction. I *bought* my blank Metal Tapes from here: https://tapeline.info They sold out long ago. Here's the video I mention at the end, about the LAST AUDIO CASSETTE FACTORY: https://youtu.be/CMTpvr9HXeI If my video was too basic for you, don't complain, it's futile (the video has already been made and can't be changed now) - Instead you can head over to TAPEHEADS.NET and talk to the infinitely more knowledgeable people there about any tape related subject in detail http://www.tapeheads.net ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

What a 10hr music playlist looked like in 1992

Creating a playlist of your favourite tunes can take quite a while - but spare a thought for the mixtape playlist pioneers of 20-odd years ago. In 1992 playing 10 uninterrupted hours of your own selection of music took a lot more preparation and used some rather specialised Hi-Fi equipment.

The WiFi Coffee Machine - Review

The WiFi Coffee Machine - Review

Instead of going to a coffee house to use their WiFi, why not let a Coffee machine use your home WiFi ...or something like that. You can see the product and look at alternative reviews on Amazon UK http://amzn.to/1HZgkox (CLICK SHOW MORE) The coffee machine I'll continue using instead is a Senseo Sarista. It may be discontinued - but still available on ebay here: http://goo.gl/ewujtJ It used to require pre-filled coffee bean funnels, but Philips discontinued these and sold a refillable one instead that you put your own beans into. My old video about it is here: https://youtu.be/yme8cCIXPpE and despite most of the comments and reviews doubting its reliability...it's still working fine almost 3 years later.

Dashcams - Why you need one and how they work

Dashcams - Why you need one and how they work

An introduction to car cameras. [CLICK SHOW MORE] In this video I explain why many people have decided to fit dash-cams in their cars and show how they work. This is a beginners guide, so there is no unnecessary jargon - If you are looking at getting your first car camera this is a good place to start. This video features the Asus Reco Classic Car Camera. Available here; http://amzn.to/1Nkjszr (Link goes to Amazon UK) Sample Clips from the Reco Classic can be downloaded from here: http://pc.cd/G1TrtalK A list of my recommended dash cams can be found here: http://www.techmoan.com/what-is-the-best-dashcam/ NOTE - ASUS DID NOT PAY FOR THIS VIDEO. I made it for them on the proviso that I could also use it on the channel. My hope was that Asus would feature it in a way that would get a bit more exposure for this channel and drive some traffic. It probably won't happen, but you don't know unless you try. AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE All links are Affiliated where possible.

Add Bluetooth to an old amp with the Logitech Bluetooth Adaptor

A quick & simple video about sending Apple streaming music to a HiFi using a bluetooth receiver. You can buy the Logitech Bluetooth Receiver on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1SiSXfD (UK) http://amzn.to/1Mt7LmY (USA) This video seems to have caused a surprising amount of confusion. The number one question asked by probably a dozen people in the first hour was - "Why didn't I use Chromecast Audio' The copy and paste answer is as follows: "My family streaming music subscription is with Apple Music (which doesn't have a Chromecast app) and I wanted to auto-connect whenever the HiFi was powered up, so Airplay was also out of the question".

Al Fresco Coffee & Vinyl - Goin' out like a hipster (4K Video Test)

Al Fresco Coffee & Vinyl - Goin' out like a hipster (4K Video Test)

For full details about this video - click Show More. The main products featured are the 1982 Sony PS-Q7 Mini Turntable and the Handpresso Auto. The Handpresso is available on Amazon UK http://amzn.to/1jOdvko & Amazon US http://amzn.to/1LiE5vo & ebay http://goo.gl/2rtKVy The Sony Turntable is a vintage device and they occasionally come up for sale on eBay. Search LINK: http://goo.gl/NK9KzH It's surprisingly capable, fully automatic and with good quality sound. Headphones - Philips Fidelio X2 - available on Amazon US http://amzn.to/1LiGshy or Amazon UK http://amzn.to/1Nj0Fo8 12v to 230v Power Inverter: http://amzn.to/1jvTOOF This is just A TEST VIDEO. I made it to experiment with editing and uploading in 4K. This is not something I plan to do with all my videos due to the file sizes. If you can't view 4K - you could download a frame grab from the video here to see the detail that's captured http://pc.cd/Q4MrtalK As far as the point of the video - it's just a bit of a visual joke - the idea was to enjoy a coffee and music on the go in an unnecessarily overcomplicated manner. In real life most people will use their phone for music and a shop for the coffee. I wanted to shoot this on a bench in the middle of nowhere, but couldn't find a suitably secluded one, so shot it in the back garden where I could easily have just popped back into the house to get a coffee. If you think the idea of using a car battery to power a turntable and portable car coffee machine is a bit ridiculous - it is, and that's the point....it's just a bit of fun. Incidentally the car power inverter introduced a buzz into the audio, so this isn't really a practical solution to powering a mains record player on the go. If you are interested in finding more about the handpresso range of portable espresso machines their official Website is here: http://www.handpresso.com This 4K video was shot using a Sony RX10ii - and edited in iMovie 10.1 The 3min 20sec file uploaded to youtube was 717MB The music is from the Youtube audio library. The titles of the tracks are 1) Right Place, Right Time 2) Safety Net The video resolution is UHD which is not strictly 4K - 4K is specified as 4096 x 2160 pixels and is a 1.9:1 aspect ratio. This is a 16:9 ratio video in 3840 x 2160 resolution. However the UHD/4K terms are commonly interchanged as 3840 x 2160 is the resolution used at home on UHD/4K TVs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution The title of the video is a play on words on a 1992 Willie D gangster rap album (I'm goin' out lika soldier). Unfortunately Al Fresco is missing a space on the title card. AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE All links are Affiliated where possible.

Why it's not always appropriate to play audio in HiFi videos

kiC8YMCO3YM | 21 Sep 2015

Why it's not always appropriate to play audio in HiFi videos

I really made this video, just so I could link to it when people bring up the same old comment that I've seen repeated under a few of my HiFi videos, namely.....Why don't I play music through the device to accurately demonstrate the sound quality'...Hopefully this video might explain that their request is forgetting one tiny thing......SCIENCE. Incidentally if anyone comments that I could of course use a better Microphone they have missed the point again. The best mic in the world played back through the worst speakers in the world will sound as bad as the speakers...not as good as the mic.

HUD - Demonstration of a Heads Up Display in a 2015 Mini Cooper

XJNtyXT6JdU | 22 Aug 2015

HUD - Demonstration of a Heads Up Display in a 2015 Mini Cooper

A look at the Head-Up Display manufacturer fit option. Demonstrated in a 2015 Mini Cooper S Hatch. NOTE - The display on THE HUD APPEARS SMALLER IN THIS VIDEO THAN IT DOES TO THE DRIVER. See this short video to get an idea of the size of the display from the Driver's position. https://youtu.be/GFRXmdgpZwA HUDs ARE DIFFICULT TO SHOOT, They are tilted and magnified so the driver of the vehicle gets the optimum view- however if you were to put a camera in front of the face of the driver.... then it's not possible to drive the car. So to get the footage used in this video the camera was placed much closer to the HUD (approx 30cm) - and out of the driver's (mine) line of sight - this means that the image in the HUD in this video is NOT SHOWN AT ITS FULL SIZE/MAGNIFICATION. There's a reason it's taken me over four months after getting the car to find a way to shoot this video - and that's the same reason you won't find many HUD reviews on youtube. Quick demonstration of the magnification effect: https://youtu.be/GFRXmdgpZwA MY BLOG - http://goo.gl/JTqsgB

The upload date on the video is Feb 4 2014. At this time there were no clones as the SJ4000 had only just come out a couple of weeks earlier. Companies can't clone what doesn't exist. This was the first review of the SJ4000 on youtube. I mentioned in the video, that it was likely clones of this camera would start appearing soon. I had experienced this occur before with various popular mini cameras, and a few months later SJ4000 clones did start to appear. The clones were the reason for the later SJCAM rebrand - I was in touch with the manufacturers a few months prior to making this video and I recommended that they start branding their camera with a recognisable name rather than just a number so people could better identify their specific models and avoid buying clones. When they introduced the SJ4000 WiFi camera they started branding all their cameras with the SJCAM name. The manufacturers true name is Shenzhen Hong Feng Century Technology Company Limited which doesn't trip off the tongue (or fit on a camera). ------AFFLIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.
