Not entirely related to this - although maybe just a bit, but I used to annoy an audiophile mate of mine by not earthing the coaxial cables connected to my amp so you'd hear stuff deep in the mix in mono that you wouldn't normally hear otherwise. Have a listen to Eurythmics 'Love Is A Stranger' and you'll hear a countermelody (over a C7 chord) that's normally barely audible, or the painfully sharp 'cello in 'Here Comes The Rain Again' far more prominent than when played/heard normally. It was the '80s and those are two examples I can remember. My dad's amp (Aiwa AX-7400) allowed the positive terminals of the phono leads to make contact before the negative ones when partly plugged in, so there was always an annoying hum whilst doing this. It worked with all sources connected via coaxial cables. You'd probably have to insulate the negative terminal with PTFE tape or similar (or bend the terminals on the plug) to do this on most coaxial sockets now.

wow awesome, thanks for letting me know this <3

I wonder how this would work with rude words which aren't often used in the US? You could hook this thing up to a VHS of Austin Powers or something, and see how it does with words like 'shag'.

If you wear a teenager in mid 2000s to early 2010 you had at least had three of these in your car

There's another way of demonstrating the sound of stereo difference. On stereo output connections, there's the common wire, and then the separate wires for each of the channels. If you connect only the separate wires to a speaker, you get the stereo difference. You can sometimes hear this on audio jacks where the common conductor doesn't make a good connection.

Many many years ago I had a device called a bug blaster that removed the macrovision signals.

this is the kind of video that can only be motivated by being a closeted homosexual living in the midwest

Awesome video.

Always watch to the end folks, always! 😂

always informative AND entertaining!

14:49 Thanks for the CC EasterEgg

8:59 Also known as the *Konami Codec* . True story.

7:41 Here again you make the same mistake of assuming one audio channel is derived from vertical movement while the other channel is derived from horizontal movement. The method in transcribing stereophonic audio into the groove of a record was invented by Mr. Alan D. Blumlein, a technician working for the then-infant *BRITISH* organisation, *EMI(The Gramophone Co.) Ltd., Hayes, Middlesex England* which, by the way is the *SOLE* owner of the Dog & Gramophone "His Master's Voice" trademark, having inherited it as part of the merger of The Gramophone Co. and Columbia Graphophone Co.. RCA had *ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS* using the trademark as when RCA bought out Victor in 1929, Victor was no more than a mere *licensee* with absolutely *NO OWNERSHIP, OR EVEN MINORITY SHARE* in the HMV trademark, so they had zero right to sell the trademark to RCA and, as a consequence, had *VIOLATED THEIR LICENCE* to use the trademark.

I see what you did there with the end theme, you sly dog.

Great video, thanks.

That surprise appearance of Aging Wheels really... surprised me, well done.

The fact they made gay a "bad word" on the strict setting but they also made it the replacement word for the worse word 😭

I was an early adopter of the VCR, and I paid $800 for my second one in the early 1980s. I had to get a bank loan to pay for it. A play-only device didn't seem necessary, especially when I could buy prerecorded movies on tape.

be in Australia where all they sell is single hose units, cant get those double hose units, cant get those mini split systems.. iv tried for years to find one here

Wait until I tell you about quadraphonic…

My somewhat pretentious Cuisinart 4 slice toaster stopped (had it for years) working...toast/bagels would not 'stay down.' I bought a cheap one at Walmart and found it would not let me push the lever down for a little longer cook time if toast/bagel was not toasted enough. So I bought a newer, fancier one on Amazon (a Cuisinart !) only to realize that I had neglected to notice the "cancel" button on both my other toasters. Now I am stuck with the 2 newer toasters plus my old Cuisinart. So this video helped me greatly, since I plan to dissect my old Cuisinart and see if I can 'fix it.' ...that is clean up the worn/ sticky spring and contacts mechanism and see if that does it. Most likely it will be a waste of time, but I am retired and need stuff to do !

we got evicted from a apartment here in Australia as a child because an American tourist had put the electric plastic kettle on the stove top in the kitchenette

for awhile, my only option was to use my grandmother's percolator that was handed down to me. I definitely appreciate having it, as she was very dear to me, but man... the coffee that that thing would make tasted awful and metallic, and would always have grounds in it.

It still boggles the mind though. One needle for two competing vibrations on the same needle. So is the sound created by the vibration of the needle or the oscillation of the pickup within the stylus? Putting the electrical pickup directly on the needle?? That floored me as well. Needless to say I’ll be watching this video numerous times until I can wrap my head around this subject 😄

I just made my own aux tape now even tho they probably don't cost much

I recently got a chance to use this kind of can opener. The moment I opened the can was really a mind-openning.

my friend mounted 2 on the hood of his honda accord it was great!!

Oh I see it @ 3:32 thank you :)

So basically a stereo record isn't really stereo, just simulated. I have records that are old, in stereo that when played you can hear distinctly the separation. Also, another fact, the older from late 60s through to 80s, the 'modern stereo' had a processor in it that would accentuate the stereo effects, if you played a conventional mono or high fidelity record, unless you had a cut switch for the stereo processor, would appear in sound to have a minor stereo effect, ranging from either just unbalanced sound to having missing tracks in one or the other speaker. In the early part through around the mid part of the 1970s, they came out with quadraphonic stereo sound. This was reproduced by either a record album or through usually 8-track. On a record, to decode the sound usually meant having a special cartridge that allowed the vibration of sound to bounce in all 4 corners instead of just on each left or right sound. Once the sound was separated, you can send it through a decoder which can either be built into the receiver, or a stand alone that fills the sound into 4 separate channels where the receiver should have 4 inputs to reproduce the sound.

No the opening is not a speed glitch. :) Cascade are great tablets. Everything comes out gleaming.

Ah yes, sealed memes. My favorite. Honestly, I really like sealed beams. My 1983 Mazda RX-7 has them and they function better than a lot of other proprietary headlight designs. The main issue with them is the limitations in design that come with them, and they are outdated with the onset of LEDs. On the topic of rhd cars in the US, I have never had issues using the Japan exclusive glass headlights on my van. The US spec vans used plastic headlights that yellow very badly, and SUCK. Not to mention the Japanese headlights have integrated fog lights (used yellow bulbs from the factory), and I have never seen the US ones with them. I've never been flashed, though I did purposely the lights to the right more than "normal" to avoid this as well as get more light on the shoulder. The fog lights also improve visibility quite noticeably. Though there's something I've never understood about fog lights. It seems that cars with factory equipped lights disable them when you activate the high beams, however my JDM van does not do this... I have retrofitted lights into nearly all of my cars, and purposely wired them this way. I notice that I have improved visibility with the high beams and fog lights vs just the high beams. So why?

“I’m bad at piano”? bullshit :)

Corporations are the worst thing to ever happen in this world. HOW IS THAT EVEN LEGAL?!?! It's straight up false advertisement! They are being paid to recommend it, and heavily focus their directions to it. HOWWWW?!

With a forced air setup with central air conditioning in a heat pump setup, I wonder if the gas burner originally in the furnace could act as the backup? It shouldn't be disabled in any way I would imagine.

I find the difference in sound engineering interesting among the many different media that music is delivered on today. I still enjoy a well engineered vinyl record most of all. There is a warmth to the analog reproduction that does not survive into digital media. Despite it's drawbacks it still has subjective qualities that digital media cannot capture. I do love the convenience of CD's and streamed content, but sometimes the analog recording is simply the best way to use my ears!

Interesting idea. I never knew anything about this.

The only real path to electrification is nuclear... renewables are a joke.

I know I'm seven months late, but does anyone happen to know what model typewriter he's using in the first few minutes? I might want one (:
