Not too much has happened this month - so here’s an hour-long video all about it.
Thanks to the eagle eye of a patron I’m taking a look at an audio tape cartridge you’ve likely never seen before, I certainly hadn’t. It’s a neat little format…albeit one that now suffers...

My favourite gadget of August 2024 (so far) - Personal Air Conditioning.
A quick video about a surprisingly effective device.
Remember my CD Shaver video about a device designed to separate the obsessive audiophile from their money. That video amassed 1.7 million views so naturally this seemed like a product category that...

It’s well over a year since I kicked off my ‘Interesting Things In Cases’ series - so it seems it’s high time I made a second episode.
Here’s my July 2024 Patreon update. I haven’t uploaded an audio-only version this time as a good proportion of this one is reliant on the accompanying visuals.
It’s a l...

In this video I’m finally going to play a Stereo Tefi cart - and you’ll get to hear it too (with a few caveats). A repair, a demo, some trivia and a bit of music, enjoy.

A short video this week - but it’s more than enough time to cover this simple gadget I’ve been testing…The Woojer.
In this conclusion to the award winning and critically acclaimed Sports Walkman video trilogy - I attempt to repair my WM-FS555 S2 personal stereo cassette player. An edge of your seat thriller you...

The answer to my present day AV needs, lie only in Sony’s past.
In this video I share my surround sound headphone saga. All 9.1 channels of it.
