Maybe it will bring me some good karma...<br /><br />What's really getting my attention are those "sing-along" microphones. Depending on the year, that's a 2.5 or 3.5mm jack. 2.5 is a nuisance and some soldering but 3.5 means "sing-along" is still plug and play by today's standars! That jack isn't any different than "audio in" on a standard sound box (like that Solid State Bee Gees Guitar Amplifier).<br /><br />...and Audio In, brothers and sisters, means your late 20th century audio players are fully compatible with 21st century audio players!<br /><br /><br />One of the best kept secrets out there is how fantastic the sound-quality is in the better 80s boom-boxes. Even many "standard" models from back then have better frequency response than the "good" portable audio players today!<br /><br />Admittedly, there's the hipster music-snob appeal of playing your music on old Magnavox or Soundesign with a two-plug RCA male to 3.5mm female adaptor for your mp3 player.<br /><br /><br />Granted, <i>these</i> models are going to have a tinny 70s cheap consumer electronics "sound", and that's a good thing. It's essential for an authentic Bee Gees experience.<br /><br />Seriously, a big thank you to our kind host Brian for putting me on to this merch!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
