Yikes

I just got one of these. It's not Dolby S but it's dual well and looks easy enough to do belt replacements in

there's two or three other video walkthroughs of belt replacements on this model as well

Next you'll probably double blinds, or cancellation tests, you absolute nutter.

I have beyerdynamic DT700s. I use DT100s and DT700s a lot at work and they're the most comfortable big headphones I've used. Sound good for the money too.

The WM-D6C is mint, and I have done the belts on it. I've done the belts on the TC-D5 too, but it does need a bit of trim on the output pots and it does have motor noise in the sound, so some capacitor is gone, which is beyond my ability. The Discmans (discmen?) are metal body top of the line players, and I have also owned the Z555. The D350 runs but is extremely sensitive for discs and movement, while the other one takes power, but does not spin.

The minidisc players are in perfect shape, but replacement gumstick batteries are a pain. They usually come with battery caddies for AA or AAA batteries, but that of course affects the ~aestethics~ Minidisc players are really a miracle of electronic and mechanical engineering, and in my experience by now they usually work perfectly or are completely unfixable.

Some other fun stuff I have owned:

Beocord 8002, god-tier tape deck:





Denon tower of power with DRS-610, 710 and 810, minidisc player and SACD player:





Sony DAT Walkman, the most fragile thing ever created:



Beocord 7000 tape deck:

This is really just scratching the surface of all the vintage hifi and stereo stuff I've gone through. Being a mid 30s white male in an unhappy marriage gave me a LOT of time to browse classifieds and go out to buy things from other white males in the same situation.

Edit, what the hell, let's throw in a few more!

The Technics RS-B965 that I mentioned earlier has dbx instead of Dolby S, which is better!

Or you could use spice racks from IKEA:

I still have those wooden things that hang on the wall, they hold 100 cassettes each. I have two of them and I think I bought them at Musicland in the early 1990's.

You can still buy them for $50 each:

I painted mine with Mars Black Liquitex Artist's Acrylic, with glow in the dark paint stripes. (I have excellent taste.)

Started collecting tapes this year and it's been a lot of fun. Up to 130 right now and I've been using random number generators to decide which one to listen to from the collection. I love the chonky buttons that cassette players.

Started with one of those new Bluetooth players, but upgraded(?) to a used Aiwa player which sounds a lot better! Figuring out storage is less fun, but I must continue this addiction. Who knew that cataloging via spreadsheets and re-alphabatizing the collection could be so enjoyable?
