I didn't realize the mics were switched to mono until part way through the recording lol

I did! You can hear the "click" of me switching the mics to stereo somewhere around the first 3rd of the video. All that said the speakers are very close together, and I placed the mics 6" away from the speaker so it's not like you're getting any stereo separation.Did you switch them to stereo mode? Tune sounds MONO throughout.
Lead-in background noises in full-range stereo! Prolly me moving something around. Dang! The mics are just so sensitive!

Bonjour tout le monde,
On m'a confié un vieil appareil Philips bas de gamme à remettre en état, le magnétophone à cassette et le tourne disque ne fonctionnent pas mais car il manque la cellule de lecture et les courroies sur le magnétophone sont détruites, la partie électronique fonctionne parfaitement et j'ai été même étonné du rendu sonore de cet appareil raccordé sur un DAC via une entrée ligne de l'appareil Philips.
les micros pour la capture sont placés à 2 m des petits haut parleur derrière mon siège au niveau de mes oreilles, c'est limite car l'appareil ne fait que 2x4 W, pour amener un peu de rondeur sous 100 Hz, les subs 46 cm sont en fonction.
Nos vieux appareils bas de gamme peuvent nous surprendre !!
Hello everyone,
I was given an old, low-end Philips device to restore. The cassette recorder and turntable don't work, but that's because the cartridge is missing and the belts on the recorder are destroyed. The electronics work perfectly, and I was even surprised by the sound quality of this device when connected to a DAC via a line input on the Philips unit.
The microphones for recording are placed 2 meters from the small speakers behind my seat, at ear level. It's a bit of a stretch since the unit only has 2x4W output. To add a little warmth below 100Hz, the 46cm subwoofers are running.
Our old, low-end devices can surprise us!

First video of the David's + sub in over a year (!!)
Just moved into a new apartment last week. Still getting things organized.
Testing out room nodes in the 12' x 10-7" master. System sounds a lot nicer than the past two rooms it's lived in (first room was practically a square with a giant bass cancellation null in the center, second one was an echo chamber ≠ acoustically poor). I don't have to push the sub as hard either.
Will break out the external stereo mics next time.

Glad to see you back. This thread became such a bunch of womp for me.First video of the David's + sub in over a year (!!)

Yeah I understand that, but then... Occasionally I'll go back through all you original OP's which re-invigorates my hobby or pick up titles you folks highlighted in your vids and pick up some music I liked. I'm still landlocked in this room waiting for my wife to move her office out in the house where I can take over that space, and I can record a few new vids. Doesn't look like that's gonna happen this year though. ARghhhh....

What does "womp" mean in this context?
If it's a bad thing, how do I avoid it?
¡Muchas gracias, señor!
@setup1 Joseph, this like all your other recordings sounds great and induces involuntary toe tapping! When people speak of musicality, the sound of your systems is what comes to my mind.
I also listened to Frank Sinatra, here is an audio recording of one of my systems streaming Frank Sinatra from Tidal during my listening session this past weekend:
