Thread: 8-Tracks Galore

A good friend of mine was giving away his 8-track collection and two nice 8-track players. Well realistic and akai. To bad his tastes was a little different than mine in music. But still 7 boxes of 8-tracks. In different conditions.

As for my 8-track history. When I was a young boy. I found a 8-track player at a yard sale. Top of the line for its time. Including a feature I have yet to find. Fast play. I assume for dubbing onto another deck? Never did figure it out. Well anyway. Turned it on one day. No go, no work, got power and it wasn't the belt. So I trashed it. Don't feel bad. I only had a few 8-tracks. I grew up in a time when CD's was new, Tapes was the thing and even in my first truck. I played tapes and thus, everybody was getting ride of there 8-tracks. So I picked up pink floyd, ac/dc, etc, etc.

Good times. Even if it was all used.

later,

Josh

Was there ever any media Pink Floyd didn't sound just perfect on...?

Sorry for the rhetorical rant.

Diogen.

I probably still have Dark Side Of The Moon in the Q8 format...

Whats an 8-trk

LOL
I remember 8 track..........I don't have any left, I knew they were out of fashion when even my Dad threw his away probably 20 years ago.

I do however still have a turntable in my stereo rack at all times.

My favorite...
When playing the DVD-A or DTS Audio version (most probably derived from the former) and jumping
straight to the sixth track - Money - you can witness a 100% workout of all 5 channels.
Very strict separation, clean vocals, guitars...
Heaven...

The old Quadraphonic Dark Side Of The Moon mix would circle you in spots...

That one requires all speakers to be full range.
