Aw rats; Zarak, you reminded me of something the Wife said I did when we tossed out our "last" Boombox.(Actually it was an early HTIB)a few weeks back.

Realizing I no longer had a tape player, she stated the I announced the need no longer existed to keep my old tape collection.

So, she said, I unceremonially pitched out all the tapes!

And She's right; I did!

What was I thinking!!?? For a few pennies and a buck or two I could have bought a player and heard the tapes like I've never heard them before!

Actually the last time I listened to them was not on the HTIB. The HTIB dual cassette decks BOTH squeaked when they played. The last time in reality was back around '98 or earlier listening to a fairly high quality "fisher" bookshelf style boom-ish box. No sub and with around a 5" full-range pair of removable speakers. "No highs, no lows, must be.....mids only.

So, what the heck(insert rationalization, here)I probably wouldn't have recognized them thru the M50s any way, with all the missing sounds restored!
