  1. It's 1982 and it's Spring Break or just before Summer and you want to "play your own kind of music," how do you do that? Techmoan to the rescue, with a Sony cassette player that spreads "the music all around." Press PLAY if you want to be exposed to Matt's portable Karaoke machine! As usual, the secretary is out to lunch and doesn't know anything about your shenanigans...;)
  2. After ten years, the tale can be told. "Techmoan" presents Part Three of "the tape recorders of 'Mission: Impossible"! Press PLAY if you want to find out more about the Concord F-20 reel-to-reel tape recorder that appeared from 1966-1972. This recording will self-destruct in 10 seconds because The Secretary is on her lunch break...;)
  3. Are you a fan of bird calls? No? Techmoan has something that will pique your disinterest. In an nondescript box, he found a set of 1970 recordings for bird brains. Is Techmona doing it right? Press PLAY to find out about 1970 Audible Audubon recordings that will tantalize your cat!
  4. Those "Chatty Kathy" dolls had a tiny record and playback mechanism inside, back in the first half of the 20th century. "Techmoan" has accepted his current Mission: Impossible, to get these tiny records to play on a 1970's Action Man Field Radio player. Press PLAY to find out what secret messages are to be found on "Chatty Kathy"! As usual, if "Techmoan" is caught or killed during his mission, The Secretary will disavow any knowledge of such activity...
  5. It's Saturday morning, time for another "Techmoan" Tech video. Did you ever hear about "MQA-CD"? Me neither, by that time, in the early 2000s, music CD sales were about to take a death dive. "Media streaming services" offered EVERYTHING recorded "at any time/all the time" without the "clutter of physical media." Back in 2018, "Techmoan" looked at MQA-CD and found that the decoders and players were only available at "Audiophile Prices" (Thousands of Pounds Sterling, of course.;) Recordings of this latest "better than regular CD" format were available only in Japan. Flash forward to today, hardware and music CD prices have flattened out, but the format appears to have "only historical interest." Press PLAY to find out about the "tempest in a teacup" Internet battle for tech information and sound comparisons...if you dare...
  6. Submitted for your entertainment, UK Post Office slide show+audio from the 1980's! In a dramatic first, "Techmoan" had fewer-than-usual problems getting this imported-from-Germany unit to work. Press PLAY to see what your loose change would get you at the Post Office...
  7. Matt found this modern background music player set in 2022, but put it aside, since it might require a subscription to operate. It's now 2024, and "Techmoan" decides to power up the little box. Does the music play in random order over time? Press PLAY to find out what Imagesound put on the 16GB SD card.
  8. Submitted for your amusement, the last Tefifon, the Model KC4. What will "Techmoan" find in this very well packed box of wonder? Press PLAY if you don't mind hearing a Stereo playback machine "do Mono.";)
  9. What's worse than Christmas Muzak at the mall? According to Techmoan, Karaoke videos. Once some necessary repairs are complete on this old piece of tech, Matt will sing Christmas songs. Press PLAY if you dare to endure a Christmas Karaoke aural assault.;)
  10. "Techmoan" found a late 1980's Graphic Equalizer/Spectrum Analyzer to fine tune his audio system. However, he ran into the "hidden system battery" that can gum up the works if it isn't changed regularly. Press PLAY if you want to find out how/what Matt did to get the beast to remember custom settings. Audiophiles beware, your feelings will be hurt!;)
  11. "Good morning, Techmoan, the unit you see before you has a time bomb in it! Get your tools out and defuse it immediately, so it can be a prop in the 2023 movie, "The Creator." Should you be blown up by this MiniDisc recorder, the Secretary will be ROTFLMAO." Press PLAY if you want to find out what Sony forgot to mention and what Matt found inside...
  12. Hello there, you early-adopter-of-tech, how's your 1980 Sony TTPS-L2 holding up? Still playing Compact Cassette mix tapes from your youth? Great, "Techmoan" has something "designed from the ground up" as a music player, the Walkman II! Press PLAY to find out how Sony made it smaller and better...if you dare!;)
  13. Got some "ankle biters" hankering to use the SmartPhone to play music? Yoto to the rescue! "Techmoan," being a "12 plus" kid, takes an in-depth look at Yoto's "my first music player." Press PLAY if you want to know how versatile this "child's toy" really is and what it can pull off The Cloud!;)
  14. Hey there Creighton, do you want something that will impress visitors to your digs? Get out some serious cash for the Bang & Olufsen Beosound 3200. Techmoan got the CD playing unit and found some powered speakers, thinking it was time to see what this "Rich Hippie/Calvin Fischoeder"-level was like. Press PLAY to find out how Denmark confused normal people with their strange user interface.;) ("Bang & Olufsen"? Never heard of it!)
  15. OK, you're the rejuvenated macabre movie villain, Dr. Phibes. It's the 21st century and clockwork orchestras are so "last century," so what is Vincent Price to do? Found on a Japanese website, "Techmoan" explores an "animated/robot band" that plays over 20 Jazz-inflected tunes. Press PLAY to find out how entertaining this "sound and motion" thing is.;)
  16. Here's a mystery package for "Techmoan" to ponder. An commercial passenger aircraft in-flight entertainment system. Open it up, and there are Compact Cassette tapes! Press PLAY to find out more about the company that made it, the airline that used it, and what's on the tapes!;)
  17. "Techmoan" wanted a state-of-the-art late night movie audio experience. However, "your mileage may vary" is the key phrase for this expen$ive "Bluetooth Speaker system." Press PLAY if you want to find out how an over $300 speaker system is as good as $60 stereo headphones.
  18. Well, the idiots "dropped the big one" and the apocalypse has arrived. What do you do for music if your guitar is now feeding a campfire? Techmoan has the answer: Crank It Up...continuously. Press PLAY if you want to know how to hear Freddie Mercury "off the grid.";)
  19. There are Boomboxes, then there's the biggest, heaviest Boombox of all. "Techmoan" has found the last "bits and bobs" that connect to this AC-only sorta luggable audio package. Press PLAY if you want to find out what constitutes "the whole package...
  20. It's the 1990's and Philips has something revolutionary to show Compact Cassette fans: Lyrics! Matt's copy of the BeeGees' "Size Isn't Everything" Digital Compact Cassette displays song lyrics for fans of Karaoke! Press PLAY to see if you can sing along as the DCC lyrics scroll by...your name is "Superman," right?;)
  21. There are Bluetooth speakers and there are stereo speaker pairs. "Techmoan" has found an exception to that observation with TWO Bluetooth speakers. First off, these are 250 Pounds Sterling EACH. (Matt bought a "lightly used" one on eBay.) Second, Bluetooth "pairing" is the least of your worries. Press PLAY to find out why "Techmoan" likes these as a pair.;)
  22. How small can a record player get and still sound "good"? I looked up the Mighty Tiny mini record player, but more on that later. "Techmoan" saw the "creepy ad" for the Mighty Tiny and looked for one with mini records. He got one that wasn't working, so this is a "back from the dead" video. Press PLAY to see/hear if Matt succeeded in repairing the Mighty Tiny. 1967 Ohio Arts Mighty Tiny mini record player
  23. Got a mountain of 8 Track cartridges? Want to play them anywhere but the car and your home system? "Techmoan" has something for you! But first, some repairs are needed to get this weighty 8 Track "Boombox" working. Press PLAY to find out if Matt can repair this dodgy 8 Track cartridge player...
  24. For people who like visual music displays but have problems with the LP jacket or CD case, "Techmoan" has a solution for you! Press PLAY to "get the flash" in your music...
  25. It's "back to the future" time again, with "Techmoan." Return to the mid-1980's in Japan, where 3D is about to take the video market by storm as The Next Big Thing! But it wasn't, either in Japan or the rest of the world, since this was sub-Laserdisc video quality. Nevertheless, 3D fan "Techmoan" will take you there as he looks at what/how this CD-pickup system worked and why it failed, only to be revived in the DVD era, for a while. Ready, Set, Go! if you don't mind a few glitches, in the darkest room in your place...;)
