@United States of Analog : ( great handle btw ) Thank you for sharing something personal from you, which I deem much more worthy spending my time on ( as compared to these mostly technical reviews and facts listings ). Have a blessed Holiday over there in the Texas region.
I worked in several record stores in Portland, OR and one in Aberdeen, WA for, collectively, about 20 years, beginning in 1972.. In 1972, we sold LPs, 8 tracks and that newer format, cassettes. I miss the camaraderie of discussing music with my customers,suggesting artists they may not have heard before, and discovering the customers' tastes. The excitement of new release day, seeing all of those new releases every week. I miss the general atmosphere and, although not as comprehensively as streaming provides, the discovery of new artists, genres, and music. I miss those days and I'm so glad that i have all of those memories.
Nice work Bob. As a man of a certain age, I relate to all your videos. Old school hi fi e.g. turntables and tapes is like having a wood burning fireplace. Part of the fun & enjoyment is being hands on. You must tend to it, like you are part of the experience. Streaming is cool and convenient, but no substitute for the joy of vinyl.
Grew up with music on the HH Scott 222C tube amp. At a young age, 5-6 years old, fascinated by the glow of the tubes and the little red light on the front that glowed once the tubes had warmed up. That feeling hasn't left me yet.
Wow, what an interesting place! I had just been looking at very vintage turntables, that Fairchild looks cool! I worked in a local record store in College during the change over to CDs, one of my favorite places to work ever! My diverse musical tastes today come from those years of learning so much from both other employees, the owner & customers!
Great memories Bob. I miss Sam The Record Man and A&A Records on Yonge St in Toronto... and Vortex for the used stuff. Best of times. Hope you and the family have a fantastic Merry Christmas and a great and prosperous New Year.
I own two Teac 7" reel to reels but have always lusted after a 10". Although if I found one, I'd have to sell one or two of my six turntables to make room! Always enjoy your videos. Happy Hollardays!
