Finally! A new video - the Fisher DAC-145

Good day!

https://youtu.be/bxN2JSMpvCo

I've been taking some time off this month (largely because I adopted a cat!) so I've been a little slow-going with the whole video thing. But I've made something that I think you'll really like. I've had this device for some months now, and it's a weird one. And I think you'll see why from the thumbnail.

I'm doing another shorter turnaround on this one and plan to have it public tomorrow. Largely because I've got a little secret. Followers of Tom Scott have probably seen the new game show he's put out - Disconnected. Well... you might see a familiar face on that show pretty soon!

For the immediate future, though, I hope you enjoy this!

Finally! A new video - the Fisher DAC-145

Have you seen the B&O BeoSound 9000 6-CD player? I remember watching a documentary about how B&O spent a lot of time getting the mechanical mechanism "feeling right" in their devices.

PLEASE. NEVER. CALL THIS. A TAPE. You heathens. It is a CASSETTE tape.

Jacob Ford

Cat pictures?? :))))))

Watched the Disconnected episode last night! It was good fun :)

Just saw you on Disconnected. Did you ever imagine you'd be known as 'the guy with the toaster video' when you started out on YouTube?

Elizabeth Sullivan-Burton

Hah, he did remain connected :P Had a laugh at the Disney question, that wasn't gonna fly with him :D

Kilrah

CD spotted: "Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration" :)

Daniel Pritchard

If I may make a request- Could we get a video on the history and technology of 8-track? You mentioned in your cassette video that 8-track had some weird flaws, and I'd love to learn about it from you, the very best explainer of dead media formats.

Leo

Another excellent episode, and congrats on winning your episode of Disconnected!

Sean Hearrell

Beautiful device. My grandpa's Hi-Fi (he was always an early adopter) had a different setup for the CDs (I believe the cassette tape deck was in the same device). Gotta love quality turntables, though.

Benjamin Rippel

I still love playing the original RCT!

Elizabeth Sullivan-Burton

I love the fact there’s a roller coaster tycoon cd in the tray.... one of my all time classic favorites

You gotta show us a front loading record player

You have to show us the cat!! :D

Moritz Bäcker

Do you have a roller coaster tycoon cd in the player??

Professor Kroog

Those people who like to put things on top of other things, did they have a society of sorts?

Asaf Sagi

You realize we now demand cat video's, don't you?

Bobo Boom

So first you had me loving Aging Wheels and subbed to it. Now you have me subbed to Anders Enger Jensen. Best plugs ever. I'm not even mad.

Raphaël

I think you may have switched videos halfway through there. :-D

tellumo

funny no technology brags "as seen in the bible"

Galen Thurber

To anyone who uses "vinyls" that way, well, I just ask them if they collect ferrics, too.

Brad Jones

Congrats on being adopted as Reed's very own hooman! You'll have to share pics (or at least sneak in a clip after patreon credits?) because the internet always needs moar cats. Also, holy ballz Tom Scott and you in the same video!? YES!!! Will definitely be looking out for that vid!

Send cat pics.

SovietBear

Well that's...cool, yet kind of pointless. Which I guess just makes it even cooler, weirdly.

Chris Crowther

omg omg omg omg A TC/TS crossover?!?!

Justin Tokke

The market is for people who own records but their house was destroyed in a fire, so they need a new record player and CD player, but during they fire they were out with their record collection - probably at some middle-aged persons rave or something.

Big Car

Somewhere in the universe exists a CD changer that has a chrome body that you load your CDs into two slots in the top, they would then automatically--beyond belief I'll wager--descend slowly into the toas--er--player to be played to a golden brown and slowly ascend when done.

Never mind. Cat tax was paid via alternate means. Dammit now I have to join Twitter https://twitter.com/TechConnectify/status/1295494994086813697?s=20

Tytyty

You said a lot of words, and then you said “cat”, and there were some words after that but none of them were a picture of said cat. Pay cat tax, please.

Tytyty

Do you have any Raffi?!

Funny stuff. I kept vacillating between “I gotta have one” and “that’s useless” in parallel with your commentary. Also cool info about The Fischer lineage. Oh, and where’s the cat?!

Wow, never knew that existed, really cool indeed even if of dubious utility, and I second the "slot load record player and top CD player" thing :P Also, I believe there is a law somewhere that says that if you tell us you have a cat you're subsequently required to play with it on camera in every video from then on... Awesome about Tom Scott, another awesome youtuber even if the games aren't usually the main thing I'm interested in, but will watch that series now. Guess you'll be able to reconnect whatever got disconnected :P

Kilrah

Cool! And I totally agree: it's not very useful, but in a way, it's cool, and it's creative, I like to see such products in these kind of videos, that's why I'm a Patreon of both you and Techmoan ;-)

MrHammond

May there be a Technology Connections Video on various cat gadets around the corner ;-)? Congrats on getting a Feline friend!

Yannic Meyer

Love Tom Scott's game shows! Can wait to see it!

Virak

Echoing Honorary Octopus ... never mind the turntable, where's the cat :)

Ian Cull

There were a thing in the 80’s I have a sharp model that even lets you program the tracks and on both sides

Well my „great” td124 doesn’t like AC voltage changes and now I know what to replace it with

You made a dangerous mistake. You mentioned having a cat, now people will want to see that more than anything else, lol.

Honorary Octopus

Video idea: (?) I was at a cabin that had a gas-powered fridge. How do those work?

Neph

> google image: Tray loading Vinyl player Aww ... only 3 model, and 2 of theme are Sony aluminum thingy :(

Vlycop

Fancy! Have a wonderful day!

Doom speaks truthiness

That's awesome news about the Disconnected feature. He seems like he'd be a cool creator to work with.

Do what you feel is best for yourself. We appreciate the time you take to make your videos and will wait patiently for your next piece of content

Delightful Destruction

I saw the first episode. Can't wait to see your debut!
