Optimus Karaoke Machine Cassette Not Spinning

We use it mostly to connect SM58 to Pioneer Karaoke machine and match the impedence. Works great.

I very much like the HamiltonBuhr Cassette Tape Player/Recorder because it is a sturdy machine that works as well as I hoped. I purchased it to play old cassette tapes and it plays them efficiently and as well as the player I had a long time ago. My only criticism of it is that it does not have a counter, but aside from that, I think this is an excellent machine.

I ordered this over a weekend and I got it on a Tuesday, once all the parts were in I installed them and booted the new machine, it booted so fast my head is still spinning. Price was good and shipping was quick!

This plate is very light and the machine work is excellent like all acratech products that I have purchased. The ridge across the end keeps it from spinning.

This thing is small, fast, and large capacity. The spinning hard drive on my brother's iMac was going bad. Before it could totally go belly up we installed the latest OS on one of these, migrated his data on to it, and then booted from it without any problems. The machine is operating just as fast as before because of the USB 3 interface. Since he lives in a small town, he is running off of it until he can visit me in the big city to get an internal SSD drive installed inside his machine.

This is replacing a spinning platter for my Time Machine backup. It is very fast, compared to what I am used to. Since it is a SSD it is very quiet. It does not get hot and takes up such a tiny amount of space. I can travel with it with my laptop so I will never be without Time Machine coverage. I formatted it APFS as soon as I plugged it in, which was a quick process.

I bought my wife a Karaoke machine for Christmas which was two 1/4 microphone inputs on it. I was thinking how cool it would be to have wireless mics so people could hand them off as songs changed, instead of being limited by a cord, and having to swap seats. The WMS40 fit the bill PERFECTLY. I was a little concerned, with the low price, that the quality wouldn't be there, but the system is static free and sounds GREAT! I used balanced 1/4 cables (pulled from patchbay) to connect the microphone base unit to the Karaoke machine. The distance from the singers to the base unit is under 30 feet so I can't speak for the range of the unit.

I needed something fast for a public talk and I have no expertise in AV. This is basically a karaoke machine with 2 mics, super fast set up and was good to go in 5-10 minutes. It is completely adequate for speaking engagements. The speaker is a little larger than I would have liked but it was a good purchase for novices who just need to get up and going asap.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put these in my daughter's karaoke machine and it had provided exceptional life to the electronics!

It's just perfect for what we need. Sound cranks. The microphone makes it an instant karaoke machine. Just great device.
