Inflation doesn't harm no one, it's the only systematic way for debtors to avoid repaying their debts.

If you can hyper leverage your assets by squeezing your asset base market prices, as happened through the collateralized mortgage market, you can have your cake and eat it completely literally when you can borrow the difference between the inflated price and the residual utility value of the asset after present value accounting adjustment for debt servicing.

Sounds like homegrown crypto, to avert signature detection.

when AES instructions first appeared. I thought it seemed a wasted opportunity. not to create some means of ring protection. Sure, malware can encrypt normally. but legitimate use should be access controlled, enabling audit and identification of unauthorized crypto generally by ser/des sampling for random data patterns. I want a log from a standard interface across CPU and offload NICs. coprocessors. iI want to view every crypto endpoint. and know how keys were generated. and how actually exchanged and stored.

post Spectre. i want audit as much. no more than i want patches.

My Netgear router could actually inspect crypto traffic against a global signature capture network. by Sophos. in 2010. at home. How is this better?

Wow, I still have a Nakamichi CR-7A 110V US lead, low mileage, second user, i storage here in London UK...

I paid quite some for it, none were easily available at all and I had reasons to be picky also, so I paid well over... yet stillI would be amazed to attain the current eBay ask for a current equivalent condition deck.

I see high at 2,300 and a live bid at 1200 due to close Saturday night...

sorry the 1200 seems to be a buy it now price...

that seems about OK really, but that seller offers no condition information

_holy cow, neither does the seller asking 2.4 kilobucks guve up any condition description other than cosmetic!

That's insane, these decks were twitchy - the Dragon wowed listeners more that it could sound good and be a tape deck, and was demanding as heck to get rolling with bias and the rest... everyone dreamed of a Dragon in my day... the one I have is the lesser beat but automates so much and simply doesn't expose the twiddling possibilities to the user .. forgive me my memory is strangely better of the glossy brochures I begged for as a kid, than my having and operating the Nakamich CR7-A in my home.

Why is that? I dunno but i sure guess it was simply unable to fulfil my teenage dream. Since then I have been spoiled with studio mastering gear - or rather the results of in the studio, it's not my field I'm marketing but my late biz partner was serious in music management, and I am still a frustrated engineer who reads TapeOp magazine like it's a top of shelf excitement I can't let my mom know I got... (anyone remember Stuio Sound & Engineering magazine? I can't even find reference to it. That was a insanely high brow publication I genuinely learned enough from to float around a music world full of proper big name people surround my partners' clients, and get taken for being a engineer/producer if I was not tempted to try to impress. Generally whatever did happen to magazines you could learn things from? Pro audio mags are terrible glossy ads now with no clue what a reverb is even used for in their reviews. I glean good things from GearSlutz forums but I studied EE for audio amateurishly stemming from a solid foundation, so I can filter fairly well... any hints or leads on good places to differentiate tech & technique from technique dictated by tech that the user doesn't understand, I'd be very grateful for... reverbs are a tough one for describing in words, some of the best members at GearSlutz are not native English speakers and take pains to describe well, but I crave a take on the effect in-chain: how do fiff freqs tail or clip? how long does a tail still comprise discernible signal before it is purely reverberating energy mushed by the synthetic environment or decay.. how much of what can be discerned feeding back at differing time on long delays... and a host of things that might mean you apply this reverb dead last or might indicate it will respond to more processing (eg dynamics rarely good idea post but it can work well) /frankly i never got any real idea about any kit since Studio Sound went off the shelves - it's worse today (or better for kit churning sales?) because there are less acoustically good places to listen and too many rack units of effects / processing: it frustrates me tomsay the least to read top pros experss the merits of a device solely in adjectives without using any concrete nouns regarding the device's actio on the signal that they are decsribing as sonorous, spatial, clear mids (which mids what voice or instrument what freqs, solo or blended feed?) and feeling like even the ones you know can't be bought are doing a infomercial.

Sorry for the rant - pls forgive a fast ageing cumudgeon.

However I suppose I am prepared to sell that Nakamichi CR-7A if it still runs well, I'd not sell ever as is. But I could not ask these ratesm- tell me you've a project, evcen if you have to flip it afterwards, but tell me it aint the money to you and I'll be happy to respond to any genuine inquiry. Better yet, if you hapen to be like the AC above scratching a living, I'll make sure you can flip it to buy some decent metal tapes... even yet ask me if you are in a position to simply want some sweet cassettes "mastered" for you, my biz partner is long gone and I miss the passions of the music world my current biz apartner know the game but his nephew is a household name so I never see the private side of music, as nephew is too cool to need to share, not attitude but darn fact wonderfully.. anyhow, lemme know if you have need a proper tape deck for any purpose in London, and I'll respond constructively. I suggest one could run a master eq for tape copy, but if you have the environment to hear that, you probably aren't the likeliest respondent to me. Some eq'ing might work advantageously, but the pros synthesized their eq from big datasets of players response and in the end Dolby was selling just that, good mastering eq auth a reliable gain boost. Since they don't do that any more, a DIY / crowd thingy project to sample deck responses for a DB would possibly be a not worthless idea. Many relevant patents now comfortably expired. What i worry though is the seeming proliferation if desire to reconstruct sound or tracks from poor recordings. As if rthe next level of effect box will reply via Alexa "Hi new 500,i remember how "Stairway to Heaven Goes", and i can reconstruct a cleaner remastered version, lemme get that oh, sure, this is hiw it goes, now sing along everyone!" (dammit got to hang with my partner & family when they had rented the house John Bonham lived and recorded Kashmir... and this made me too sad, so many brilliant musical minds and not a single actual instrument --but i wouldn't dare fly with my guitar even today not anything i need for a set i'm paid for... as i sat with glass in hand on the steps he ripped out that infamous solo... No no moral to that story except don't divorce and spend on attorneys and not super houses please.. )

I've been thinking on my feet whilst typing and bottom line, these tape decks must be coveted by people not very willing to share. Nobody can usefully use a deck many hours a week for listening. Even retirees, the baby boomers just before my lot who eat my lunch and dinner and 401K waste money on pleasures such as buying a Nakamichi. They know it needs care & feeding too.

(my low mileage means low hours, means chance of normal lifetime before heads as rare and expensive as the desk might drift too far to corral back into shape, and Naks and other top end decks have lots of mechanics to handle slack & tension in ways that direct drive doesn't do well or else the sampling and feedback was not viable then)

In the day I'd wat more to do something cool with this deck.

I just decided I still rather do something cool, if anyone has suggestions?

  (London UK necessarily only)

Provided wear & tear seem likely low, or there's something viable in high hours such as making tapes for bands to promo (apols I no longer know A&R people but I may be good for basic how to approach them just i really don't trust I k ow how the world worked, on the verge of adulthood... i mean proper middle age.

A> Pls contact me if you have a COOL use/ project / band requiring a high end tape deck, specifically a Nakamichi CR-7A

B> Point me to a cool back story how having such a deck will do wicked things money couldn't somehow do, whether attracting A&R with current metal 60min tape fetishes, or attractig eyeballs for the coolness that sell your music to new people

C> Make me a offer, but I really wanna hear anything fro A and B above preferably, first. Make me a clear offer combine with either or eve both the above, and I'll probably only ask some credit i.e thanks on the sleeve/ insert for a timely assist, for the difference between what I think these should trade at and the silly money others want (They are worth a lot if you have the intent, deliberate plan, ability to use etc etc etc & I still coned myself and thought I had a plan, despite ability to know what Inwas getting into long before I purchased (otherwise i would have had one professionally, and nota bene how few saw any studio use...i never saw one even for lunchtime listener mixes - when offered to silence silly questions the answers came 50-50 "overkill" and "temperamental toy" "one was "taking my work home"by a tired tapeop)

You HAVE to buy one of these with clear intent and means to ENJOY AND DELIGHT IN THE EXPERIENCE AND THEY ARE TOO EXPENSIVE TO CASUALLY LEARN ON EVEN A FRACTION THE PRICE.

I will e.g. therefore cut a deal with someone only if they have a means I can enjoy the fact of the use of it by some means, recouping a "personal loss" when i had no time and packed all for shipping. So if things are cool, I don't book a loss as it were.

If nobody has any great ideas, I'm afraid it wont work to wait see if I bargain basement the deck on eBay ir however, I'll either sell privately and patiently and certainly fro less than the top ebay asks but to owner who'll be likely trading with me too (suddenly I found need or least use for a Korb bit SDS rack mount recorder, ideally a few, but they discontinued just as the possibility to use them came up. Nope, had to be a pro build dedicated device, and audio was to be split right after ADC to redundant racks, literally prepped and sealed save delivery eng. access whose job was to simply roll them as gig begins -- the proposition was to cut deals with unsugned gigging bands in return for top level live set multi tracking they can remix later (capturing live set, not capturig live feeds) but we cam up against needing generators (however small, necessary) nd hence paperwork and site manpower etc all nudging it past our deal happiness thresholds. CONT BELOW..

SORRY i'll cut this and paste that para continuation below, but if you want a reason why I wont sell at silly bubble rates anything not bought for that idea e.g. stocks etc, why i value even second hand positive experience from a new owner in real monetary terms// it's all because they aint draining the swamp, if they did that they'd show where the love is buried... Love = money, for real. Make a lost man happy, he becomes productive. It's worth to me to have even purely vicarious good experience over what when i was firced to sell everything would be cold hard much needed cash, in crisis.. i knew cash in time of crisis is never enough - how to spot a soon bankrupt? if when you lend him money matters above all else. How to never get outta bakruptcy? Tell creditors you have money... soon as time and deadlines appear to affect you, you will pay more than you can, which you cannot do in bankruptcy, but yet so many do. That ought to be the lesson pinned under the Great Seal of America, lesson best taught by incoming leader. But its true. I echo his useful lesson and stick my finegers up to the system just as he did so successfully, only I want to do so in style. Like a younger me was told by a diplomatic level dept trade guy i met accidentally in a bar who later joined my endeavours, it's *how* you say f-ck off, he taught me much besides. Show me the Dem pols freaking out asking what everyone did wrong to not learn what Trump can teach (also usefully) so not to repeat, and I will sleep well at last, but my objection to your new Prez is simply he worked the system so well but with no style that everyone could agree on. He won't easily learn how. I merely hope he'll be the lesson everyone everywhere needs to forget HIS promises to drain swamps, but to do it in our back yards. Thats why I am back home... Britland is too small to cope when it gets a bad flu. Importing mostly people who are sadly not welcomes by the unheard (cannt say silent, but it almost applies if they could utter more than the monsyllables they are encouraged to repeat to fulfil caricatures for cheap press) masses if not majority, unwelcome lots of people just are unable to influence a population even if briliant and well meaning, and we got 10% new population under Blair just like that (i feel bad for the immigrants forever now more likely to be scammed by their imported social classes and subclasses than learn and change us for good) and because generally we forgot "our own" not meaning racially our own but those we already know which in my life is not majority white. Mostly old, too, seeing their savings rot at 30-50% every efw years if notminvested in property... low rates made a new middle class instantly, bought votes en masse, cndemned us to uncntrolled spending and less well ff unable to even get jobsm, the avg wage here barely 33% up during my own lifetime while any home up 1000%. But if I get any ideas, I will run back to where trying to sell something to someone is not still a universal offense, as seems to be the one thing every adoptive brit understands and earns truly pronto.

pls forgive my hella long rant. I meant only to justify why I might let a valuable tape deck go for far less than market, despite I'm pretty broke nowadays. IT's because the joys of ownership escaped me, and now t me the only rare commodity is positivism above a baseline world I would have expected to cause massive suicide rates among youth when i was young... i dont think trying to enfiorce a "pay it forward" agreement is viable or really a reasonable thing, but send word please if I can get off on cold winter nights knowing my old deck is rocking with a new crew. I was gonna tape tons for my old aunt too b/c she knows a tape walkman and loses it with newer stuff, but remember those "tape adapters" for CD playersnyou shived in your car tape player that relayed the CD signal? I'm thinking how to hack a means to autumate labelling tapes with "Bach", Mozart etc on barcode, read thatbback to a RPi and feed stacks of high but FLACs wth the FF/RW etc tape walkman buttons signalling.

As someone already stated, cassettes are a great thing to pjysically stack and index, just the right size. Heh, Sony gave their salesforce new shirts with bigger pockets to market their first "pocket size" radio, but still the physical frmat is goldilocks good.

I want to build a grann proof tape "index card" system for a FLAC archive in a RPi using a (for parts ebay buy) Sony D whatever "walkman pro" or similar. I mean to have tapes that change search parameters, so "mellow Mozart" refines a search to bubble fav tracks up to first ones the FF SKIP goes to... mostly to be manually refined, but i only gave this 20mins musing thus far... ideally i want a ARM board in there able tom run headphone equalizers to fix the headphone response as apps exist for already. The plus points are hopefully able to cram hugeb battery in there, the cassete window can show thru an OLED big enough to be clear to seniors, and handle setup ertc for me, that I can over the phone send youtube etc searches to the device to help my aunt remember her favs etc, which separatelty inxed as whether played etc to replace with HQ audio versions.. and if i could dream i'd put it all inside the cassette eve so can be shared with others.

I want the stability.
