Here's a question: Does any one of you hardcore Head-Fi'ers out there still have a working portable DAT? I'm just curious if anyone uses, or ever has used, a DAT as part of their portable rig.

I used to use DCC, DAT, and MD, but the last time I used a DAT machine was 2000. I tended to downsize after that and MD was the only one small enough (at that time) to allow me room in my shorts.

Nano not inside the pocket.

 
That is just an awesomely convenient bag.

You could probably cut out a whole for the screen and dial and sew it up.  That would be perfect.
 
Better yet, just go to a seamstress and have that done so that it comes out perfect.  Shouldn't cost much at all.

Not intended as a joke, it sounds quite nice actually.

Very nice, Meme. I recently found my second best cassette player in a storage box. Damned if I know where my best one is hiding...

Great looking pics there dfkt & meme! I had the WM-2 and TCS300 but here is my last cassette player:
 

 
I took the pic, replaced the battery, plugged in phones, and hit Play and "Forbidden Fruit" PVD came up. I tested the phones (MDR-G72) with Fuze, and they are are like the bizzaro-PX100, with rolled off bass, forward mid, and very sibilant high, so with tapes they're uh, "hissy galore"

Wow.

 

[flaming_june]

I can't believe people still have these.   My MD player doesn't even work anymore.

Wow,....these pics of gear are getting better and better. New gear and a great look back in time,..sweet.

@fidele-caput: I remember having those phones or at least something similar. Sadly those were the only ones that have ever been stolen from me :T

green copper ?

rawster, sorry to hear that and to bring back bad memories, but those types are thief baits. Unlike my baby stax that's actually looks older than dfkt's cassette player.

 

 
 
ps: E71 hpo is hissy and 2.5mm. Not very good.

I rubbed the 5-way navi of the Clip+ with some acetone... looks much better now without icons.

Also found a much better franken-tip for the SM3: Shure Olive inner tube for safe fit, foam from a standard drug store ear protector, Phonak PFE tip with wider inner diameter. Now they fit and sound much better than with their stock tips, and they isolate well too.
