    I don't think so... it should loop down under the tensioner. Plus, it's all manual controls.

     

    @Invidiosulus what brand is that?

    Actually, that is the power cutoff. On play back or rewind, that arm will drop down and cut off the power to the reel motors when you reach either end of the tape.. it's that way on at least 3 of the decks I have (I have more).

    Limited Edition, transparent red, Red Dirt Girl - Emmylou Harris. Wonderful! Just wonderful!

    Great album! I would put on some Nanci Griffith, but I only have one cassette of hers

  3. Lake Street Dive got their name from playing in seedy Dive bars on Lake Street in in Minneapolis, MN.

     

    I had thought it was an oblique reference to LSD, the hallucinogenic drug, but apparently not so.

    An album by a black woman singing a song about black women.

     

    I understand that, as well as McCartney's story about the meaning of the song. I think it's great, but like a lot of other music from that genre, it's simply great music.

    I can't figure out how the Beatles "Blackbird" got on there. It's excellent, but I wouldn't consider it a country song.

  6. When we updated our kitchen (removed carpet and dark built in cabinets and electric stove), we added a dishwasher. We've never used it. We both will wash and dry, but they are almost always done before we leave the kitchen.

     

    The largest employer in our county is the Roper Corp., now wholly owned by GE. But hey are owned by Haier, a Chinese company. A friend of mine has worked there his whole life, getting ready to retire. He said the new stoves and appliances they make are the cheapest he has ever seen. They are built here and shipped to China and they make money on them.

     

    His complaining may be sour grapes, but there could be some truth to what he says.

  7. My Heresy IIs, even after a recent recap, have plenty of bass, very well balanced.

     

    Then again, I was ok with my LS. I don't do home theater, so only music. Different genres,  but I certainly won't be modding them in any way.

     

    The H IVs have better bass, though but I'm still not fond of rear ports, but that's just me.

  8. Those would be right at home on my Snails, but I will have to start with something a little smaller. Very nice looking set.
