"off duty" 1970 - 1997 - eine Freizeit-Zeitung für's US-Militär
Die in diesem amerikanischen (Freizeit-) Shopping-Magazin angepriesenen Hifi- und Video-Produkte waren auschließlich amerikanischen und kanadischen Militärangehörigen zugänglich - also zu kaufen - und vor allem zu ganz ungewöhnlich (verblüffend) niedrigen US $ Military-Preisen. Zu der einführenden "off duty" Seite geht es hier lang. - Um 1970 begann der weltweite Hifi-Boom bis zum 1. Crash 1978 und dann wieder zum 2.Crash um 1990. Über die 20 Jahre nach 2001 lesen Sie mehr in den Kolumnen auf diesen japanischen Seiten.

Bandgeräte Besonderheiten im Juni 1975
Eigentlich war analoges 4-Kanal Quadro im Sommer 1975 ja schon tot. Jedenfalls, wenn der wichtigste Audio-Markt der Welt dieses "Quadro Zeugs" nicht mehr kauft, ist der Zug abgefahren. Dennoch kommen immer neue open reel Quadro-Boliden auf den Markt und auch hier wird nirgendwo auch nur angedeutet, wie man echte Quadro-Musik da drauf bekommt und vor allem, wo man die Quadro-Musik überhaupt her bekommt. Denn diese ganzen echten Quadroaufnahmen konnten ja nur in Musik-Studios entstehen, wo sonst.
Die Anzahl der ganz großen Bandgeräte überrascht schon, weil auch hier nur die im europäischen military Vertrieb angebotenen open reel Modelle aufgeführt sind. Übrigens ist hier von TASCAM und FOSTEX noch immer keine Rede.
