HiFi VHS for audio recordings

[whabang]

Just tried it for fun yesterday. Thought the FM-modulation in the VHS would give less noise than a casette recorder. It did. Not quite CD-quality, but fully acceptable. When I took a look on the net last night I discovered that many people has been doing this for ages. Cool.

Anyone else here who have tried it?

Hehe. I won't replace my MD anytime soon. I just found it funny that such old crap actually had pretty good sound.

:lol:

I can understand that! :-D

but what to use as a source

Hmm... Dunno really. Recording on an LP is nothing you just do at home. Usually anyway.
The quality of HiFi VHS-audio is comparable to FM-radio, so I guess that would be a suitable source.

Anyway, the only use I could find for this is for party tapes. One tape running in the background all night. No need for drunk guests to play around with my CD-collection. :-)

No.

The DVD-player can play MP3-CDs though. That would still be CD-based, though, and I don't want people to play with the collection when drunk. I've lost to many CDs already.

Time to invest in a 15 m. cable between the computer and the stereo, I guess. :lol:
