Great AKAI setup. I have a number of excellent AKAI pieces as well.

Ah, the POPCORN tune from the 1970's. This is probably the father of all modern electronica music heard today.

[madmax064]

best machine forever,i have this receiver at home

[madmax064]

best machine ever

[jamesbvideos]

what is the name of the audio track playing in this video

[whitemachines]

@jamesbvideos - The name of the track was famously known as 'POPCORN'

[lukevash]

....why are people calling this vintage?? shit if this is vintage then i must be fucking old hahaha

[FerroChrom]

@lukevash Because this tower is made in 1978 - 32 years ago. There are some differences between people and electronic machines. :)

[lukevash]

@FerroChrom oh i see hmm i would not call it ventage though but then again im not with the times anymore 20 years to old

[alaf22]

I love vintage,it's much better then that crappy shit of today.

[aleksandarradenkovic]

Ultimate version song Jean Michel Jarre

I lowe akai line

[nkx1]

A tape player mother fucker? Ha ha ha ha ha.

[djbazzmaster]

shut up, your defenitly not an audio lover. old stuff like this is worth a lot these days

vintage audio rules!

[nkx1]

No, you shut up. That tape player is not worth much; what the fuck are you talking about? No self-respecting "audio-lover" woud listen to a tape player, 8-track, etc.

[AiwaMail]

I love AKAI VUmeters!

[GDSK6]

What speakers are you using?

[danocean111213]

vintage cassette decks are amazing contrary to what many believe as obsolete.

no way! i personally know oldschool will always be superior.

great equipment. sinc,jay

[themasterofmovies]

whjeres the EQ, cd player, turntable and reel to reel?

[zozo76hun]

Super Hifi Tower!

Original soundtrack:

gerson kingsley - popcorn

[muzica008]

Very very nice pieces....i have de cs-M02 deck and the only difference betwen yours and mine are de VU-meters....

[batterymaker]

That's when purchasing stereo equipment really meant something. Not the pisspot material you see out today.

[thevintagehifi]

Nothing better than vintage audio!!!

[petrunic1]

nice oldschool! I have an akai amplifier, 25 watts and it's better than any rotel or marantz

[allboutk]

ah yeah

what model you got?

[danocean111213]

depends on exactly ,what rotel and marantz you are comparing it too.

[Amphile]

simply Akai

[stijnkraft]

Nice set. Akai really made nice stuff in those days. Their cassettedecks and r2r recorders rocked and the amps weren't half bad either. The music is a bit too eighties for me, but it seems to sound good :)

[scottieneon]

Cool amplifier!! love the song!! Where can i download it????

[Watcher3223]

Made back when Akai meant something special.

[hoplite1766]

[tune] Hot butter - popcorn

[CassetteMaster]

SOO COOL stereo! And I love that song!

[theblackhand2]

I miss the textile feel of the controls of old Hi-Fi equipment. Every thing now a days have tiny little buttons that feel mushy.

[CassetteMaster]

Right!

[scottieneon]

I agree.

[TheTerminatorT101]

Agree 100%

[turntablesrock]

DUDE! what speakers are you running?

[guimbadriver]

hey what the model of this tape deck ?

[MovieMakerKeith]

I have that same amp setup with a pair of B&W bookshelf speakers. Do you thinks that amp would ruin that set of speakers if I ran it at full power? Not full volume. Thanks

[microsoftiscrap]

There's something great about old audio equipment. Perhaps its the analogue meters.

[eddie23a]

That's the M + H Band, the original version was written by Gershon Kingsley on his 1969 album Music to Moog By. Kraftwerk have never performed or recorded Popcorn.

Possibly the most missattributed tune ever!

[kool4ever]

I luv that tune!!!!!

[raymondleeleggs]

I love old audio gear!
