All sounds typically very scary, but my suspicion is that no normal

You certainly will if you wind up the wick. It will feed back. Unless in
a
well sealed enclosure. It acts beautifully as a diaphragm.


Well aware (after nearly half a century as a user) that a record deck can
act as a transducer but the question is still the is any FB discernable
in normal use or even wicked up?

I might give it a go later but I notice the mint imperials haven't been
opened and I don't like them anyway, so it'll have to be with Tic Tacs...



OK, I have recorded identical samples with and without Tic Tacs and there's
not an iota of difference that I can hear.

Pic of the *unopened* Mint Imperials and the Tic Tacs in situ on my Show N
Tell page, along with the samples which, unfortunately, all have a ton of
hum that I didn't know I was getting! (Hasty wiring to this computer - I was
cutting grass at the time!!)

But hum or no, the samples are of an identical recording setup and are good
enough for a quick comparison!
