Joining the cassette geeks…

just noticed it has microphone plugs on it that be useful for a band player .

@Shrek - yep plan to investigate the heads at some point in the near future, and mixtapes from Tidal could be a really fun idea. Not sure if my preamp has analogue output though, will have a read up!

Took my turntable in for a setup. For the next week or so, this is now my main analog source 😎

I’ve bought a few more cassettes since & it’s amazing how good vs how bad some of them sound. Kinda pleased about the crappy ones, it’s nice to think they had been well-loved by a previous owner.

One of the cassette collections I picked up had Dog zest Dog’s album. That is amusing in itself, not the sort of thing you’d come across everyday. Oddly enough it’s probably the most worn/poo sound of them all. Maybe a Dog Eat Dog super fan ? 😂

I'm looking at your deck and I'm thinking fan heater with buttons 🤣 Still some life in the old analogue format. I wonder, is Tandberg still around? Remember the marque so well in the 80s.

No idea if they still make these. I bought this mainly as I saw a photo of it in an exhibition setup & fell in love. Googling it showed that it had decent spec & was well-liked.

For something that’s most definitely a piece of display furniture rather than serious listening device, it’s perfect.

It certainly has character, so aesthically different to any of it's peers and those VDU dials so much better than those boring dual bar leds you see with the competition.
I hope you don't have to wait too long for your Linn, enjoy! 🙂
