Buying A Used Tape Machine

The sound of analogue tape is still revered, but acquiring and maintaining your own machine presents a unique set of challenges. At least a generation has grown up without hearing high‑quality analogue tape recordings, and with no experience of using reel‑to‑reel machines, but as more people move to digital recording, the old technology is becoming more affordable, and there's a resurgence of interest in tape. There are plenty of reasons to want to use it ('Analogue Warmth' in February's SOS explores them in detail), but buying and maintaining a tape machine can be a minefield for the unwary... Look Before You Leap! Let's start with a reality check. If you want good results, a tape machine can be expensive to run and is likely to become more so over time: there are lots of moving parts in even the simplest machines, and they spend their time slowly wearing themselves out. No big manufacturer has built new machines for years, so some spare parts are

Tips on choosing the best wireless doorbell

Doorbells are important security appliances in the home. With the growth of technology, you don’t have to install cables in your house to install a doorbell. It is now possible a wireless doorbell that is easy to install but still performs the same function as the traditional doorbells. When looking for a wireless doorbell, there are features that you should check. A wireless doorbell is all about features, and the bell that you will choose will make all the difference when it comes to selecting a doorbell.

How to Choose the Best USB Charging Station for All Your Gadgets

Smartphones, smart watches, tablets, fitness trackers, and all our other gadgets leave us burdened with multiple chargers and so much clutter. Liberate your outlets and charge all your devices with a single plug. We all have multiple devices to charge every day, and that number is only going up. If you use the individual charger that comes with each device, you’ll quickly gobble up multiple outlets in your quest to charge your personal phone, work phone, tablet, and other devices.

With a charging station, you use one power outlet for one transformer which in turn p
