![]() That said will they sound as good as some of the earlier Nak models? No, but its a level of subtleties with the sound quality issue. Having owned many of the DR series, over the years and currently owning two of them that have worked flawlessly for years with probably 1000 hour each of playback and record time, they work mechanically as well or better then anything Nak ever made. First of all there is nothing wrong with the DR line of decks. Wow there is a lot of, lets use the word sketchy information floating in this thread. Tapes made on my previous decks sounded a bit dull and the Dolby mistracked. But, their design did not follow through to the heads. It was a shame because it had a unique feature allowing the playback head to change alignment (just like a video tracking control), which was obviously designed to optimize it for tapes made on other machines. So, yes the deck was first rate when playing back its own tapes, but it was less than perfect playing back anything else. If I recall I was told I could purchase a special set of heads which would more ideally match the curves of other machines. My experience was that tapes made on other machines played back incorrectly, which always disappointed me as I'd amassed a large number of cassettes when I bought the Nakamichi. Here's why: Nakamichi used a proprietary frequency response curve on their machines (if I'm wrong about any of this, which was told to me by a dealer, I'm sure others will correct this). As far as your stated purpose, I'm not at all sure it's a good choice. It's a great machine to record and play back on. I own a Nakamichi deck, unfortunately out of service. Judging from what's common on eBay, I think the CX-300 looks pretty good. Should I steer away from 1970s decks in favor of 1980s decks, assuming that more recently made decks still have a few years more life in them? Or do the 1970s decks still outperform 1980s decks or something like that? (I'm mostly going to listen to average commercial tapes, but I'd rather have the cassettes themselves be the limiting factor than any of the deck's specs.) Headphone output and microphone inputs are a plusĪbove all, the deck should sound good - as close to capable of flat 20-20,000Hz range as possible. Azimuth/bias adjustments are a plus, though I'll have to google a tutorial to figure out how to use themĦ. Don't need a lot of LEDs or digital lights - dependable/functional trumps "flashy" in my bookĥ. No auto-reverse (don't need to complicate the mechanics)Ĥ. Two heads (three heads would be a plus)ģ. Dolby B (Dolby C/HX Pro would be a plus)Ģ. Judging from what's common on eBay, I think the BX-300 looks pretty good. Though it's possible I'll fall in love with what probably will be the coolest tape deck I've ever owned and keep it. Not much use for the deck after that so maybe I'll just sell it back to the local shop after I'm done. ![]() I am primarily going to use this deck to transfer about 200 cassettes to WAV and then to CD-R. I have a local used equipment shop here that I'm working with to track down something in my price range, but I want to make sure I get a good model -dependable, good sound quality, less prone to breaking down, etc. I'm searching for a good used Nakamichi cassette deck.

Seeing a huge gold bullion from Pirates of the Caribbean on the castle sent shivers down my spine. Illuminations feels less like it was made for specifically for Sleeping Beauty Castle than Dreams!, which of course it wasn’t, not originally anyway.ĭisney Illuminations – Finding Nemo and Pirates of The CaribbeanĪfter The Little Mermaid we get Finding Nemo, because you know, water! I should probably write more about the Nemo scene, but really it’s not my favourite film by a long stretch, and sandwiched in between The Little Mermaid and what comes next, it feels a little out of its depth – pun not intended. Speaking of which, Sleeping Beauty Castle is used more as a projection screen than with Dreams!, where you had breathtaking scenes such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame, utilising the contours and landscape that Disney’s most beautiful Castle offered it. ![]() We go to the next scene via Mickey, who falls off of a log into the water, cue The Little Mermaid, which looks fantastic on the Castle. Water flowing down the Castle was always a high point of Dreams! and in the Lion King scene it is again, accompanied by music that we all know and love. The combination of music, special effects, fireworks and visuals in that opening scene are pretty much perfect.ĭisney Illuminations – The Lion King and The Little Mermaidĭisney Illuminations then takes us on a journey through a variety of films, each one looking as stunning as the next…almost. What was evident from that first scene is that the video mapping, lasers and everything that goes into making these spectaculars in Disneyland Paris, had now entered a new phase, one in which each and every element had been improved upon, with stunning results. I’m more of a fan of Mickey than I am Peter Pan, though I do like Peter a lot, so I wasn’t missing Dreams! at this point, not at all. I’ll start by saying that the opening segment with Mickey Mouse is superb, and the emotions that I was assured I wouldn’t have, I did from the get go. Firstly I wasn’t interested in seeing a video when I could see the show with my own eyes, and secondly the two Castles are very different, so even IF it were exactly the same footage (it isn’t) then it would be presented differently.Īpologies for the quality of the images – I like to use my own images where possible and I used my ailing mobile phone. Being the spoiler avoider that I am, I didn’t watch any of the leaked footage, nor did I rush over to YouTube and watch Ignite the Dream from Shanghai Disneyland when everyone and their uncle told me they were the same show. I was very fortunate to be there for the public premiere of Disney Illuminations in Disneyland Paris on Saturday 25th March, and even though I was almost alone in not knowing John Legend’s music, he sounded pretty terrific during the pre-show, especially when he sung Beauty and the Beast with the Sleeping Beauty Castle sparking along with the music. ![]() However, when Disney Illuminations was announced, I wasn’t sad that Disney Dreams! was ending, but more excited for what we were getting – a new night time show, with the some different film franchises featured, mostly. ![]() ![]() I’ve watched it many times since, through its various scene changes and seasonal variations and have been a fan throughout, some incarnations more than others. I was a huge fan of Disney Dreams! when I watched with the live premiere (ahem) with the rest of the online community, and I was an even bigger fan when 6 weeks later I watched it with my own eyes, and ears, in Disneyland Paris. ![]() Movement mechanics have remained the same in some cases.

![]() The change of scenery from overcast England to sunny Miami was a welcome respite. Seeing the Bee Gees faltering similarly, he sent them to the same studio. Interestingly, Clapton had faced the same drinking issues that had nearly derailed his career until Stigwood sent him to Miami to record, which resulted in the release of a highly successful comeback album 461 Ocean Boulevard: the address of the recording studio. All three Gibbs share their frustrations at knowing they were talented but unable to get a second chance. The band released two dismal albums during this time. They were playing to half-empty stadiums that eventually shrank to even smaller clubs. The money dried up, and each of the brothers began drinking heavily. ![]() In 1971, the trio regrouped but were dismayed to find that people weren’t interested in their style of music. But Robert declined, quit, and instead started RSO Records so that he could continue managing the Bee Gees, even if they were doing solo work at the time. The documentary reveals that when The Beatles manager Brian Epstein died, Robert Stigwood was asked to step in to manage the supergroup. A shocking moment from the movie is a clip of a live show in Auckland, New Zealand, which shows a large audience booing loudly as Robin tries to sing, with some audience members even charging the stage. In 1969, due to continued internal arguments, Robin quit the band and ventured out to tour solo, but venues often incorrectly booked him as the Bee Gees. Andy Gibb - the fourth musical brother - was far younger than the other three, though he did start his own band and began playing small venues. And Maurice was the peacemaker, who often carried messages between his two arguing brothers. Barry was the most confident and wrote many of their largest hits, which caused conflict between him and Robin both brothers wanted to sing lead. Robin was painfully shy, but also the goofball of the trio. The film takes us through their next three albums but detours to provide some insight into each brother. The three brothers worked on lyrics which became their first modest hit “New York Mining Disaster 1941.” In a dark staircase, Barry began strumming chords and describing the loneliness of being in the dark, waiting. Stigwood signed the boys to Polydor Records and sent them to a studio to record when the building suffered a blackout. In the documentary, Clapton now laughingly admits to being jealous that Robert Stigwood began to show more interest in the Bee Gees. Stigwood, who also managed Eric Clapton’s band Cream, took interest because he was from Australia as well. Their father approached Brian Epstein, the manager of The Beatles, but he declined and sent them to Robert Stigwood. In 1967, the Bee Gees released Spicks and Specks to slight success. Their father initially performed as their drummer, but he quickly became the band’s manager as they began to book more shows. The trio eventually started a teenage act and performed along the coast of England in various small venues before the family relocated to Australia. Robin and Maurice were twins, though they humorously considered themselves triplets. “Someone’s always left in the end,” Barry Gibb laments early on in the film, referring to his status as the only surviving Gibb brother.Īll born on the Isle of Man, the Gibb family moved to Manchester, England in 1955. ![]() Along the way, guests such as Justin Timberlake, Noel Gallagher, Nick Jonas, and Chris Martin provide contemporary commentary. ![]() Now, in How Can You Mend a Broken Heart - just released on HBO Max - we still get to hear the band’s most popular works, but we also spend more time peeking into what it meant to be a Bee Gee.

![]() This means that it capitalizes on other protocols like the stablecoin decentralized exchange (DEX) Curve, lending/borrowing platforms Aave and Compound, the DAI-issuing protocol Maker, and more. Yearn’s platform is designed to collate reward-generating opportunities across DeFi. Although it was built on Ethereum, it has expanded to include support for other chains including Fantom and layer 2 solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism. ![]() Yearn has continued to grow despite the departure of its founder, and its community has guided the project into a period of stable operation. Despite its meteoric rise, Cronje announced in October 2020 that he would be leaving the project and DeFi altogether, but later would work on other projects like Fantom-only to step away again in 2022.Īlthough many projects reserve some of its supply of tokens for founders, investors, and the development team, Yearn approached its YFI token distribution with a “fair launch.” Through this process, all YFI were distributed to users of Yearn for providing liquidity or staking through the platform. Originally named iEarn.finance, the project saw almost immediate success, with its YFI token-released in July 2020-reaching a market cap of over $1 billion by August that year. ![]() Yearn was initially launched in early 2020 by South African computer scientist Andre Cronje, who is also known for co-founding the Fantom blockchain. Yearn’s Ethereum-based token, YFI, allows its holders to participate in governance and decision-making on the platform. This makes its platform a yield aggregator.Īlthough users can manually try to find opportunities like this across DeFi apps (called yield farming), Yearn instead allows them to deposit funds into vaults, called yVaults, which use different strategies in an attempt to earn passive income on their crypto holdings. Yearn Finance (sometimes stylized yearn.finance) aims to find the best opportunities for rewards and assemble them into one easy-to-use place for DeFi users. Reward-generating strategies are some of the most popular ways to use DeFi, whether through decentralized lending and borrowing, providing liquidity to an automated market maker platform, or seeking out the highest incentives offered by DeFi protocols. Last week, investors piled into the radical project YAM, only for a bug to crash the network -and its price.Decentralized finance (DeFi) gives crypto users multiple opportunities to increase their crypto holdings. Plus experimental DeFi projects are risks. Not to mention that even YFI’s developer Andre Cronje himself didn’t see any profit from his creation, leaving the platform’s governance completely in the hands of its community. There was almost never enough supply available, and the folks who were able to ‘yearn’ enough of them, did so via providing millions in liquidity,” pointed out Dennison Bertram, a former developer advocate at security audits firm OpenZeppelin. So I don't think it turned too many people into millionaires if any to be honest. Simultaneously, looking at YFI’s rapid growth, crypto enthusiasts shouldn’t beat themselves over “missing the gravy train.” Thanks to the token’s small supply cap, it’s rather unlikely that YFI made a lot of people millionaires in just a few months, some experts argue. But it also means that if they all suddenly sell-it could crash the price. Since yield-farming allows holders to receive interest “out of thin air” by staking and lending their tokens, the majority of them aren’t really in a hurry to part with their assets. What this means is that more than half of YFI are not liquid and don’t participate in trading, thus the demand for tokens far outweighs the available supply, driving the price up. >60% of total supply is locked in staking pools. ![]() If you're wondering why YFI keeps pumping, consider this: |
