There is a reason for it. Each channel had its own linear potentiometer. If you pulled the plastic links off, you would almost certainly be able to apply the equaliser to each channel independently. Perhaps try it.
I had a similarly crap mini system. Once during a power cut, I noticed that if I rotate the turntable manually I could get the radio to work! That provided enough entertainment (and exercise) until the power was restored! 😆
I really appreciate that even if something is objectively old and crap, someone can still find a way to love it. Especially the creative mind of a bored kid.
Despite it being objectively crap, it's lasted 31 years, inspired your whole career, and continues to make it's idiosyncratic noises. Subjectively speaking, it's a work of art.
This type of thing is what makes analog devices so special - the ability to have fun! It's sorely missing in more "perfect" but much more boring digital technologies that have overtaken any sort of analog tech. We need more devices you can play with!
@@4.0.4 Computers are much too abstract, and lack an element of "play". Early computers actually are better for this, since you had to mess with it to do anything. It's why stuff like Scratch is so awesome for introducing kids to programming. I'm also a big fan of PICO-8.
That's why I wrote a C program that takes a stereo WAV file and writes a mono WAV file that alternates the left and right channels 60 times a second plus some synchronizing signals so you can record stereo music on the linear MONO track of a VHS video cassette recorder...one 2 hour SP tape holds a little over 40 minutes of stereo sound...I did this so I can experience the tape dropouts and hiss of the VHS magnetic tape surface...of course...this is not a real-time solution...and I had a heck of a time getting the program to not have discontinuities in the output as it reads the WAV file digitized back off the tape and algorithmically splices back the stereo sound...now with artifacts of tape recording effects. I even used the system() command to run the Dolby B software encoder decoder to get better signal to noise ratio...the level that you digitize the signal back in doesn't matter much as there is a sine-wave after each packet which is used to set the DC offset and volume level, so song fade-outs remain intact even with automatic level control recorders.. In the future I want to make a program that takes a high-definition/4K 60 frames per second video file and re-draws it slower into a DVD video MPEG file which you would be able to record on a VHS tape then use a capture card to capture the image off of the VHS tape and re-assemble it into a high-definition 4K 60 frame per second video file complete with all the tape dropouts, static and other VHS glitches..(this is vaporware--I haven't wrote this yet!)
Honestly I miss how tactile hardware use to be. Not just because you could actually fix things without going to an officially licensed shop, but because all the clicks, jingles, whirls, and hums was a part of the experience.
I know right, and when you pressed a button - you actually made it perform the function. Now when you press a button it feels like your asking it's permission.
This was just beautiful. Something very specific and individual and personal to you yourself ends up resonating with others who are different and don't share the same experiences and yet ... I really like what you are doing on this channel and I look forward to more. Thanks for sharing!
The stop motion bit at the end was so heartwarming and special. Thank you for that! I hope the little stereo comes back even though it did not want to play the record!
Growing up before streaming (and as MP3 files were becoming popular), I had a few crappy stereos. It didn't matter if they were crappy, they were mine and the ability to record allowed me to make my own music or "radio" shows. I know this to be true for many other people. They might have been objectively bad, but they were the gateway to more 😁.
I have finally found someone who is as guilty as I am of meddling with HiFi systems. Mic inputs, half pressing the buttons and finding new functions that weren't in the manual and everything else that made summer holidays and boring days less boring. 🤘😂
For whatever reason, I seem to always find a way to "half press" digital stuff, especially the more modern "smart" crap, making them do all kinds of errors and freezes. It's kinda annoying being an unintentional bug finder.
I like how the AKAI has "DAD" mode. I assume that's so I can play my dad music at an extra loud volume while locking out my kids trying to turn it off. I need to get one of those.
1992, as I turned 7, I got a real component system from my Dad, with a Pioneer A-333, Sony CD-Player, a NEC Cassette deck and a Dual CT-19 Tuner connected to Braun 3-way Speakers with dome mids and tweeters. I was so proud and I knew I'm having the best Dad in the world. 🙂 Since I got this system I'm an hifi-enthusiast. Thanks Dad!
This makes me miss getting cheap garbage from goodwill and the depths of ebay to just go ape on it and hope maybe something cool will come out of it. In a world where everyone knows every trick, is nice finding something no one knows about and making secret discoveries. I love your brain
This has to be my favorite channel. The world of full of so many AMAZING things which we take for granted. Your videos communicate this fact incredibly. Big thanks for keeping this content coming
I'm having a hard time pinning down the nostalgia vibe I feel watching your videos lol, it's almost like the kind of far out videos you would get on VHS in the late 90's early 2000's in school, I love it.
Jesus, I can't stop laughing! 😅😂🤣 Unbelievable! I thought it was only me and some other local kids who have discovered that half pressing the record button in a cassette player would make it speed up. You see, different cassette players, different countries and different lives... But we are all connected 🙂. I appreciate another nicely done video!
I knew this from my FIRST boombox when I was 6 years old in the summer of 1988 way back at the end of the Crusades...Push the pause button halfway while playing and the pinch roller lifts up but not enough to take the take up spindle out of mesh with the motor...and Instant Rim Drive high speed mode...I did it so many times that the pinch roller fell off and got mislaid somewhere and from that point on it was always Chipmunk music...until I that discovered the top outlet which was wired to the light dimmer switch...simply dim the cassette player and normal speed is achieved....flash forward to Veterans Day in 2017 or 2018 when my father got the bright idea to dim the electric space heater...a loud POP!....then darkness....
If memory serves me well, dictaphones of the similar era had some sort of tape speed selection... of course the quality was much worse, but you could carry it around school recording fart noises or toilets flushing and different speeds with silly voices.
Everytime this man posts it brightens my mood - even if I have to wait a year for the next video it's worth it; the amount of childhood wonder he has brought back to me is beyond words. I didn't notice, but it really started with the hot water color video - I used to sit and stare at the pretty patterns unfolding in front of me when mom cooked and I didn't remember that before this channel. I'll probably never know you, but you've done a lot for many, many people, and it's appreciated :)
I absolutely adore the sounds of people fucking about with their cassette-corders. Takes me back to the days when I used to spend all weekend at my grandma’s house jamming pencils in the cassette wheels to get wacky noises on the cheapest cassettes I could find lol
Cool to hear the old Eurosignal at 3:44. Eurosignal was a pager system used in West Germany and a few other countries. It was transmitted just below the FM band.
we used to put a switch on the erase head so you could overdub on cassette, sometimes bridge the selector so you can have the mic live over source, then overdub during cue/review. If the motor has a pot, you can adjust the transport speed. The beauty of a crap hifi - the beauty of a crap anything - is the freedom to experiment.
There's something about Crappy Audio and Crappy sets that has a much more homie feeling to them compared to High end ones. I think the reason is majority of us grew up middle class or poor and one could afford or our parents could afford the cheaper stuff. Cheap CRT TVs, Cheap Computers, Cheap Cassettes and CD Players. it all had a effect on our lives. Like just looks how what's popular now? Lo Fi, Vaporwave, Neo Y2K videos and Music sounds. there's a reason we all resonate with those sounds.
One of my favorite Skinny Puppy songs has them live, tuning through the radio dial connected to a sampler. I can't believe I tortured my brain with that stuff.
I'm sorry, you made the track at 1:30 in the year 1992? While you were still a kid?! Holy cow! You have an INSANE amount of talent! You are a bona-fide creative genius, Posy!!! I don't think I could have even dreamt of creating something like what you made in 1992, especially as a child! I truly cannot wait to see what else you'll make! Glad to have subscribed to you!
kids are all more pure and talented. they just dont have the experience, knowledge and status. we devolve into adults due to society programming our talents away into mindless robot slaves. good job, society!
this reminds me of when I was a kid and discovered that if I placed my small tv on its side it would change the colors of the screen, I dont remember the brand unfortunately. I would place sonic 2 on the megadrive with my head tilted because it was fun seeing knuckles turning green
That's makes me travel to my early teen age, full o fun making and rediscovering the pitch possibility and basic and not so (but exhausting) editions from cassette to cassette, lot of experimentations were made whit that. Very touching nostalgia in there.
I'm beginning to fall in love with this channel. This stereo brought back so much nostalgia to me, as I grew up with a stereo with the same kind of "quality".
As an enjoyer of watches, cars, and basically any kind of technology, I love the intimacies you unravel with these objects and such that I feel are hard to experience without physically being with the object.
As much as a love my quality stereo and bluetooth preamp and how they made cd obsolete my top music memory will forever be how I finally got bomfunks mc freestyler recorded on a tape with a similar system, still got the tape in my desk drawer instead of a dusty box somewhere. Changing the tape/cd was a chore sometimes but boy was it worth it, especially when you read the booklet for the lyrics and band facts.
What a beautiful human being you are and it shows in the quality, creativity and sensitiveness of your videos Thank you for always making me smile with them 💖
thank you for posting this and reminding us that the closer we listen and the more we explore sound, the more we enjoy it. i wish there was as much content like this as there is content talking about how "good" or "bad" certain audio gear is. i feel very inspired by this video
I had to sign in to google, just to comment how relateable and brilliant this channel is. Dude. Oh, also as a fan of lcd screens, here's my newest addition to my kid's toy set. LCD powered "Magna Doodle". I just can't figure it out.
I'd take a Sony TCM-939 around everywhere with me as a kid. That also had the same speed funkiness by half pressing the pause button, and distorted automatic gain. Lots of fun, as was this video!
Wow, I love that you used this more as an instrument than a stereo. (Or perhaps just as much.) Also, tulip plugs being a selling feature in your fake ad was funny. And then the stop motion at the end was a treat! Reminded me of the things I used to make.
Posy, you never fail to achieve such amazing quality and authenticity in your videos. The professionalism, the storytelling, the music, everything. Thank you for bringing such incredible experiences to us through your videos.
I'm envious, I never had a 'REC on REW' capable machine, but I wanted that! My favorite thing (30 years ago)was getting a sony 2 deck cassette boom box to record the radio at extra-high-speed dubbing speed; then play it back at the same high speed. This actually improved the sound quality enough so I didn't like regular audio cassettes ever since! Just don't overheat the motor by running it too fast; ALSO tiny tape capstans + extra high speed can result in a catastrophic tape jam (capstan can/WILL wrap LOTS of tape quickly and that can break off the pinch roller possibly destroying the deck... like mine did) otherwise, you could tune the speed for the best sound you can get out of it.
3:40 oh the nostalgia of that weird data signal at the 88MHz, always been wondering what it was, only found when I had the internet, it was messages to pocket pagers. but the SW/MW also had its lot of strange radio signals, I wonder why I always been fascinated by that, I now have a RTLSDR but it's not the same feels. so it's a crappy stereo but still beats anything by Dr Dre.
The fake 6-band equalizer is incredible!
It clearly works as a multi band filter bank. Just listen to the noise timbre changing. Lovely stuff
There is a reason for it. Each channel had its own linear potentiometer. If you pulled the plastic links off, you would almost certainly be able to apply the equaliser to each channel independently. Perhaps try it.
I was always appalled by that as a teenager. But if people are ok with it (because it's cheap) then that's ok with me.
Highly advanced in it's time.
It was common on cheap systems.
I had a similarly crap mini system. Once during a power cut, I noticed that if I rotate the turntable manually I could get the radio to work! That provided enough entertainment (and exercise) until the power was restored! 😆
Haha thats awesome! :D
Lol
So it was basically the vinyl version of the clockwork dynamo radio....I'm guessing...
Woow, talking about redundant systems! 😁 Really cool!
Crystal radio.
I really appreciate that even if something is objectively old and crap, someone can still find a way to love it. Especially the creative mind of a bored kid.
Some of the best music I heard in childhood were the various ringtones in my dad's nokia phone,
So yeah...
The world before internet was an interesting one.
@@joshm7769 Better too!

I feel this. All of those unlisted features we found by half-pressing keys and the fun we had.
I no longer feel alone, my brothers are out there!

3:42 the lovely sound of Eurosignal transmissions… Tons of memories. Was mysterious for me as well in my childhood.
So THAT's what it was. Another mystery solved 😁

Seeing some of your content throws me into a strange happy-sad mood of remembering what a great youth I lived. Thanks man.

My first hifi was Aiwa with 3 cd changer that was amazing to look how that mechanism worked...
man i love your videos
it has a nostalgic feel
old youtube style
please continue making videos
the whole video from start to finish - the visuals, the audio, the stop motion, the songs made - just amazing
It's good to see the personal history that led to your sampling masterpiece, Some Kind Of.
The Irresistible Force! Such a great project, as well as that whole era of Ninja Tune records
This video is a work of art. The word “crap” in the title is clear a misnomer.
Hit the nail on the head with the amount of fun you could have on cheap old analog apparatuur.
A relic of a video, truly a venture into childhood discovery and creation.
That present made you into a gift for us!
Thanks mom and dad!
These videos are so full of love and passion

Best UA-cam advertisement in the Galaxy so far
The sense of style in your videos is incredible!
Great idea to put dozens of cassettes with magnetic tape around speakers with strong magnetic field. Genius! Brilliant!
