This is a short video about something very simple, but its one I’ve been meaning to cover for a few years. A tidy up and hunt for something else resulted in this project finally rising to the top...

It’s a good job that I haven’t been covering obscure music formats in chronological order, as if I had, this video might have signalled the end of the line. There can’t be many newer than the...

Yes it's a bit early...but you could always wait a few days before listening if the timing is an issue.

I needed to post now to try and get ahead of a couple of things. Trust this is OK.
You may recall when I recently made a rather ill considered double-dip and bought another bundle of untested MiniDisc machines from Japan. At the end of that video I stated that I would show how ma...

I have no idea how this video got so complicated. I know how it started though. A very nice chap sent me a movie on HD-VMD. This was the missing piece to my recent HD-VMD video and it opened up a r...

A shorter and simpler video this week consisting of a look at an unusual boombox from 1986.

I enjoy watching movies at home. Outside of making YouTube videos it’s been my biggest and most consistent passion since the 1980s. Movie nights can be my happiest times and while must-see new mo...

Better late than never. This week I’m featuring what appears to be a ridiculously rare device - this may even be the only surviving example. That’s unlikely, but I also suspect I won’t be tri...

Thanks to a viewer in Korea I’ve received a new personal stereo cassette player (aka a ‘Walkman’ but not really). I had hoped that this device would prove that it is still possible to make a ...

You might have noticed there’s been a longer than usual gap since the last video. That’s because this one has been a bit of an epic to assemble.
It’s the July Patreon exclusive update. A spectacularly disjointed effort this month - but a ruthless edit means that it’s almost listenable now.
