Very neat!

 

[Al ears]

Are those devices in a sealed stand? Difficult to see.

 

[WayneKerr]

That is a lovely neat set-up, Andy, top marks mate 👍

 

[Shrek]

Thanks all 👍

No its not a sealed unit they are glass doors the units are sitting on glass shelves there are draws below see my good old cassettes perfect storage for them.


I have sealed of the back now after comparing cables and various avenues to minamise the dust.

Not moving it any more for now 🙈

Superb stereo system.

Some nice stuff there 👍

Call me old fashioned, but there's one thing that fills me with horror:

One way of bulk erasing your cassettes would be to get a degaussing coil connected to the mains....then move it very close to the tapes.
It's the electromagnetic field that does it.

There will be a large transformer (giving off an electromagnetic field) in the Marantz which is far too close to your tapes for comfort.
I know the drawer is handy, but for the sake of your tapes, best that they're stored well away from magnetic fields.

It won't erase them but it may well add noise that no Dolby will get rid of.

(Some say that, weak though it is, over several years, the magnetic field of the earth doesn't do magnetic tapes any favours.....but there's not much you can do about that 😉)

Both transparent to magnetism - and the proximity is the concern.

Like you, I've got loads of tapes. I'd no sooner store them that close to a powered transformer, than in a bucket of water.

If you value your recordings, store them elsewhere....otherwise, as you are 👍

Done a real good Job.
I actually feel motivated to do some cable tidying.

 

[Shrek]

Ive never had a home Amp before with a Bass output only dj amps ,its hard too set up the crossover and level its sounds brilliant at low volume .

 

[Shrek]

i got it at a good price and its not over sized .

 

[Shrek]

thats why i was asking about subwoofer cables !
