It's all In a Name: Introducing Rewind Audio!

Hey Friends and Fans,

We want to take a second to talk about how far we’ve come.

When Oscar and I first started our little shop, choosing a name was one of the hardest decisions. We had so many ideas but settling on one that we absolutely loved was more difficult than we ever imagined. Finally we decided on "Rewind the Recycled Electronics Store. " We felt that it best reflected our merchandise and our committed interest in creating a safer environment at the time.  However, even though we've received positive feedback from friends and family on the title we still weren't satisfied with our store name. 

The good news is this: We have boldly decided on a name change! We are now Rewind Audio. We feel this will make things simpler and tie everything together. It will no doubt probably make things confusing too, especially for our fans.  In fact, because of this process we noticed we have close to 900 followers from Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, and our website and blog combined! Quite an accomplishment indeed -and we thank you all for making us what we are today!

With the rebirth of our shop, we are also creating a Youtube channel, a new Rewind Audio Twitter account and email subscription account which you can access at the new rewindaudio.com. And of course our new Facebook page which will always share the latest news and developments as they happen. We will be whole lot easier to locate as Rewind Audio. And your fingers will thank you, not having to type in so many words. (I know. You are so welcome!)

So wish us luck creating a newer, shinier, more tied together image of Rewind Audio’s awesome vintage gear and lifestyle! We couldn't do it without you, see you soon!

Coming Soon!

TEAC RW CD22 Dual Deck CD Player & Recorder w/ Remote +

INCLUDED ARE:

Teac RW CD22 CD Recorder
Remote Control
14 NEW TDK Music CD-R Discs
Owner's Manual
Now you burn CDs in the comfort of your living room with no need to use your computer as a go-between. Teac's dual-deck RW-CD22 CD recorder offers quality components and ample connectivity to help you bring your treasured cassettes, LPs, videocassettes, and radio broadcasts into the digital world.

Using a component CD recorder maintains audio quality during CD-to-CD transfers and greatly simplifies the process of generating CDs from analog sources. Deck one plays, while deck two records (either at 1x or high-speed 2x). One each optical and coaxial digital-audio input and output facilitate hookup with a CD or minidisc player/recorder and a surround receiver or integrated amplifier, while analog RCA inputs and outputs accommodate just about any audio source.

Ensuring the highest quality possible from your analog sources, the deck uses 24-bit analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. In addition to random and repeat play, the RW-CD22 offers programmable playback so you can alter the order of the source tracks on the CD you're recording. This deck also lets you adjust the recording level in digital domain, altering the signal level of older CDs mastered too low in level and/or new CDs mastered too "hot" to blend with other material on, for instance, a compilation you're assembling.

You can feed the recorder digital-audio signals from minidisc or DAT recorded at 32 or 48 kHz sampling rates, and the RW-CD22 performs sampling-rate conversion to CD's native 44.1 kHz on the spot. A choice of auto or manual track writing lets you take the reigns to determine where the song breaks will be--or you can simply put the recorder on auto-pilot (with digital recordings) and it will duplicate the track start and end points found on your source disc.

You can record up to 80 minutes of your favorite music and songs from any number of sources on either write-once CD-R or rewritable CD-RW. In either case, you must use the slightly more expensive CD-DA (designated "music" or "audio" recordables) to compensate the record labels for perceived piracy losses.

The player/recorder comes with a 34-key, full-function remote control and a front-panel headphone jack for private listening.

Technical Details:

Dual-well component CD recorder integrates with your hi-fi system--no need to use your computer (2x high-speed recording)
Optical digital-audio input and output, line-level analog input and output
Sampling-rate converter (32 kHz/48 kHz to 44.1 kHz); shuffle and repeat play, track programming
24-bit analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog converters ensure high-quality recordings and pleasing CD playback
Dimension: W. 17 1/4" x H. 4" x D. 12 3/4"
Weight: 12 lbs. 8 oz.

BOSE QC3 Quiet Comfort Noise Cancelling HEADPHONES QC 3

Proprietary Bose technologies deliver quality sound from these award-winning headphones―making listening a pleasure just about anywhere. Leave the noise behind and get the most from your music.

Hear the difference for yourself

Wear QC®3 headphones when you fly, and you'll notice a dramatic reduction in engine noise the moment you turn them on. For quality audio, simply plug the cable into your portable player or the inflight entertainment system.

Use QC3 headphones at home or at work and distractions fade softly into the background. An optional communications kit lets you use QC3 headphones with many popular mobile phones, too.

No headphones will eliminate all noise. But the Bose technologies in QuietComfort 3 headphones work together to make almost any listening experience more rewarding.

Proven performance

QC3 headphones feature Bose Acoustic Noise Cancelling technology that electronically identifies, then dramatically reduces the noise around you, while preserving the audio or tranquility you desire. Proprietary signal processing and audio reproduction technology also provide lifelike audio across the full range of sound—including deep low tones—from relatively small and lightweight headphones.

With ambient noise reduced, the high quality sound these headphones provide becomes even more apparent. You may hear nuances in your favorite tracks that you've never noticed before. And the soft-cushioned, easy-on-the-ears fit lets you listen comfortably for hours.

Fine traveling companions

QC3 headphones come with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and convenient wall charger. You can expect 25 hours of use from a fully charged battery, with a lifespan of approximately 500 charging cycles. An airline adapter plug and protective carrying case are also included. Earcups fold flat for easy storage in the slim case.

SONY EV S900 Video Hi8 8mm Stereo VCR Recorder Player

Your old videos have a life of 5 to 10 years. Maybe a few more if you're lucky. After that, the magnetic oxide on the tape drops off, and makes the tape unviewable. This process is called "Dropoff."

On the other hand, experts believe a DVD will last 100 years, and some think DVD's will last up to 300 years. We don't know yet for obvious reasons.

This Sony videoHi8 VCR will transfer your Hi8, 8mm memories to DVD, Laptop or PC! Also a perfect VCR to view your 8mm tapes.

To transfer to DVD or VHS simply connect to a DVD recorder. To transfer to your PC or Laptop, you will need a video converter such as the ones made by EasyCap, which you can find here on ebay or elsewhere for about $20.
