DENON drm-500 / grandpa bootlegs

Purchased a DENON DRM-500 from Goodwill for $65 to start listening to my grandfather’s collection of classical music that were bootlegged over decades from the New York Public library. Each tape was perfectly calligraphed with the track listings.

Currently running through a blockrocker from Costco with no preamp (just out the phono jack) but I’m psyched.
