A Sad Day for Music Lover's
In December of 1991, my parents gave me the Panasonic Portable Stereo Component CD System (RX-DT675) for an Xmas gift. The system itself has wicked, with a mutli-band radio, dual cassette deck, & a compact disc player. Truly, top-of-line machinery. Since then, it has served me well. Click images for bigness:
One of my favorite features of this system was the dual cassette function which enabled me to make killer mix tapes over the past 17 years. I love mix tapes.
After spending a summer in various cities across the United States, I came back to the corn-hole and, fresh off mindless debauchery and great tunes from the summer, decided to make installment 8 of the Mix Tape Recovery & Give-Away Series.
But ah, all things must come to an end. When I went to set up the recording process, a sad thing happened...nothing. The cassette heads of the RX-DT675 did not move. A part of me died that day.
At the beginning of 2006, for my 29th birthday, brothers Z and J(3) purchased me the Panasonic CD Stereo System (SA-AK330) with M.A.S.H. and BI-AMP technologies. It, as well, has a dual cassette deck component, but I am unsure precisely how to use this particular system; obviously, I will have to figure that shit out. Nonetheless, elements of the RX-DT675 will now live only in memories and be relegated to nostalgia (it still functions as my bedroom, sleepy-time compact disc player).
