Paul (Slugbug) here. Thanks for putting my stuff in your videos! The "BUG SOUND quad matrix" was based on the QS encoding matrices (and I monitored thru a QRX-7500 a lot of the time) but it's not really a true quad album as some of it was just regular stereo and no 4-channel master exists. I don't think you'd get good results decoding it off cassette tape due to the inherent azimuth randomness but NAC did a fine job in all other respects. Those were duplicated right before they ran out of chrome tape forever, no Dolby, I never thought it worked well at all on pre-records. Actually the master I sent them had the treble jacked up on purpose and it came out about right...

Prog post-wave, Amigacore, country, orchestral mood and casiocore all in one video. Only VWestlife.

That thing looks like a perfect deck for a hifi like techmoan just put together recently if his didn’t have a cassette deck built in already....

Like this comment if you enjoyed the performance of "Vuba Mumba" by Tommy.

I wish I had bought at least 5 of these (brand new from Radio Shack) back in the early 2000's when these units came out. They sound great & very easy to repair & replace belts.

Whatever's on "The Music Tape" sounds like something straight out of Homestar Runner

That vertical oriented system is definitely cool and I also would love to have one

I'm glad you keep promoting Slugbug. Paul's such an oddball. No one else quite like him. :)

She said ... "I bought these albums on cassette, what do you think of this format"?<br>I said ... "Awesome, but I count five, and my name's not Matt".
