Ha Ha ... not that one ... but Asleep at the Wheel ... yes sir ... along with a wide range of hard rock, blues, jazz, country, classical and some stuff that didn't really fit in categories. LOL
When my Wife & Daughter were cleaning out the attic recently, they ran across my old cassette carry case with 60 music cassettes in it. I had ... and still do have ... a wide, weird range of tastes. Ah ... memories.
I bought a 2000 Harley Truck with 20,000 Miles a couple months ago. It has a Factory Cassette & 6 CD Changer. It gave me a chance to dig out my old tunes.
Early '70's Bob Carver started a company called Phase Linear -- before Carver stuff ever existed. He had "Quadraphonic" preamps and amps up in the Seattle area. I still remember going up there to see what was what - and smoking a doob with him and a group of engineers... listening to their latest 400 Watt amp... You needed TWO of the amps to do "quadraphonic" and I couldn't afford TWO so I bought one and the Phase Linear 4000 Preamp... and then the coupe d'gras was the TEAC 4340 10" reel to reel that was 4 channel Quadraphonic. I blew up more speakers than I care to remember with that big ass amp!! Nobody had that kind of power back then - and the speakers just couldn't handle it. Even my JBL 99's!! Or the Marantz 7's.... oh man.... I can't believe I can even remember those names!
I loved to come home at night and put on some headphones and fire up the Teac deck and watch those reels go round and round.
I don't think today you could even buy a reel or the tape!! And the reels had to be aluminum or you just weren't kool!
This picture was taken later - because this is the apartment I first had when I moved to New York City in 1976... and if you look closely in this photo you can see the Phase Linear stuff -- and I think that was a Yamaha "tuner". LOL -- Good times back then!!
Spaced on why I brought that up! Shortly after I'd bought the Phase Linear and the Teac -- NAKAMICHI (?) came out with a high end "cassette" deck but nobody wanted that new fangled stuff! Who in their right mind would want a "cassette"? Shortly afterwards thats all we had...
Looks like a Yamaha Receiver - you could actually use them as a Pre-Amp.
I've got one of those Fancy High-End Cassette Decks - it was over $1200 in in 1978 Dollars!

I remember looking at the Carver amps back in about 87 and wanting one but they were out of my range so I ended up with Luxman which was good stuff also the cassette player I bought was like 800.00 and honestly sounded better than the optical output on the CD player . Now I have a Samsung smart phone that somehow makes music come out of built in speakers???? lol
