    Sony tc 353 Tapecorder

    Well I did my research and found out that my mic is 350 ohm, and inputs to the Sony tapecorder are 600 ohm*. This falls far short of the guideline of “input impedance of the Tape deck should be 5 x output impedance of the mic”**. *600 ohm spec comes from the tc 252 manual which looks almost...

    Sony tc 353 Tapecorder

    The microphone inputs are mini jacks. Are these inputs compatible with mics of the larger size, ( sorry, I don’t have better spec on what I want to do ) like a Sennheiser with XLR interface. Of course I’d need to adapt from XLR to 1/4 inch phono jack to mini jack to input my sennheiser to the...

    Sony 252D

    My first R2R. I picked it up at a tag sale for $5. On power up, I heard the rumble of a motor inside. With a tape loaded, I turned to play and nothing happened until I gave it a push and it started playing and all was well. Nice to know that on rewind, the motor shuts down when the tape runs...

    12SQ7 GT

    It used to take a long time and then play but now there’s not even a sound coming out of it. Looks like I need a better method of troubleshooting than just replace and hope.

    12SQ7 GT

    The other tubes are 35Z5 and 50L6 GT. More accurately, the 12SQ7 has a glow inside but does not have the light at the top that the other 2 have

    12SQ7 GT

    My portable record player has 3 tubes. The 12SQ7 GT has no light as the other 2 do. Would it be likely that I need a new one? And would a 12SQ7 do ( minus the GT ? ). I see plenty of the 12SQ7 on eBay. Thanks

    LET AK DO THE HEAVY "LISTENING"!!!! (music experts needed!)

    During a recent home refurb, I decided to find some new tunes to help the time pass so i got on HOOPLA, the library take out service and punched in Kate Bush who I was a fan of for Hounds of Love. So I tried her “Before The Dawn” and have been listening to it ever since. Her music doesn’t get...

    What I learned on Craigslist

    I’m dying for a good music player I can load myself without internet. IPhone and IPad is out of the question. I’ve been using an old Samsung phone which has its own problems but it does have the micro SD. Questions please if you will: How do you load songs onto the IPOD, by cable? Is the User...

    On my Blue Ray DVD player to Vizio tv . I was killing time at the library and spotted this which intrigued me back in ‘19 when it came out. It’s the style of his I like and I’m a fan of soprano sax. “My Favorite Things” still a favorite.

    What CD are you listening to? What CD Player?

    Reviewing CDs that my library is giving away. Again on my Sony 5 disc player. Dan Wilson (who I didn’t know of course ) was pretty good. I assumed he was a brother of The Beach Boys Wilson’s. I had picked up a lot of theirs last year which were ok. And I got this one too just for who he was...

    Play my Own music on Apple IPhone

    Thank you all for all the replies. Plenty of food for thought there. Back to streaming, to me it means a service to subscribe , and pay a monthly fee. My music preference now is 1 or 2 albums by the same artist, music I own, and nothing else. I think streaming services value come from suggesting...

    Play my Own music on Apple IPhone

    Ok thanks. I just searched my phone for iTunes and it does not have. The info I’m getting refers me to Apple Music whose hype on the App Store states I’ll have access to 75 million songs etc. etc. I’m going to tread carefully here. I feel like I’m back to square 1 . My iPhone 6 SETTINGS menu...

    Play my Own music on Apple IPhone

    You’re right, instead of SIM I meant the microSD. I want to walk and listen at the same time. Thanks. I walk the back country so the music must be in my device. Actually, this comes up because I want to buy something which is available on CD, fine but I’m going to compare to see if it’s...

    Play my Own music on Apple IPhone

    I own a lot of music in .wav and mp3 and don’t care to have a streaming app. My ideal is to play my music on my IPhone. But I’m not keen on transferring my digital files and don’t know of any music playing apps. I use an old Samsung phone right now by loading the SIM and using its music player...
