| How often do you have to service your Studer or Otari deck ? Home not pro environment. Is 10k hours a realistic figure for a reproduction head ? Are Studer and Otari any different in that ? If I am not mistaken, Studers had an option of two different types of heads, and I have no idea of those differences. I would say that I would ... | |
| How often do you have to service your Studer or Otari deck ? Home not pro environment. I will pay him personally if he asks me to, in time, but until then I got other things to do. | |
| Do you have any concern for the environment when keeping your equipment 24/7 ? There are other problems too, in addition to relentless warming. Poisoning of everything, including the oceans, disappearing biodiversity and forests, soil and coastlines erosion, and others.Let's have fun while we can, who knows what awaits us ve... | |
| US Customs fees. What should I expect ? I see. Do they send you a bill or you have to pay when picking up ?I don't mind reasonable rates and smooth delivery.I think, most likely it would be TNT or EMS.Thinking about European integrated shipped from Europe or Asia and maybe new Nottingha... | |
| How often do you have to service your Studer or Otari deck ? Home not pro environment. Most musicians whose performances I would be interested in to have on tape are dead, beginning with Miles Davis. I am almost certain that he wouldn't mind me getting the tapes from wherever they might be, free or not - no difference.Many concerts ... | |
| $100k spent on music and $20k on the equipment or the other way around or 50/50 ? Can't be sure of the exact prices and some pieces would very difficult to find, but here is my take on $20k system. Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm, new or used.Goldring 1042 or Nagaoka MP-500 cartridge, new.Depending on tube or solid state choice o... | |
| $100k spent on music and $20k on the equipment or the other way around or 50/50 ? Extremely difficult, yeah, but with one source and a lot of patience it can be. | |
| How often do you have to service your Studer or Otari deck ? Home not pro environment. Yes, I know that regarding the paramount importance of the transport. Damn, I guess I don't want anything but those Studers . Telefunken would be hard to service, I think, unless I am ready to ship it to Germany. You didn't mention Studer A807, la... | |
| $100k spent on music and $20k on the equipment or the other way around or 50/50 ? I virtually stopped buying digital as well, very rarely do I buy a cd or two. My CEC cd plaer is 20 years old but I see no good reason to upgrade it. When it breaks I will find something similar or a little better, no serious money will go into di... | |
| Does it make sense to use 6k$ Nos tube with 5K$ tube amplifier? Good point, Larry. I changed my opinion, just put in the best tubes you can afford. | |
| $100k spent on music and $20k on the equipment or the other way around or 50/50 ? In my case so far, though it might change if I go into tape world , I spent three times more on the equipment. I don't need many records and cds. | |
| Best Headphone system under $1000??? Grado RS-1 or RS-1i or RS-1e Reference headphones plus Grado headphone amp, either battery powered or not.A little over $1k new but it should do it. | |
| How often do you have to service your Studer or Otari deck ? Home not pro environment. You confirm what I thought, about Studer., but no-one says that Otari is no good and not worth considering.This is one audiophile piece that I would want to keep for a very long time, maybe even never upgrade. And it would be my main source, so a ... | |
| Does it make sense to use 6k$ Nos tube with 5K$ tube amplifier? I like Elizabeth's idea. Problem is that unless you are just playing background music at low volume, you will not settle for less after hearing better tubes. Still good idea, if you can get away with excellent $1k replicas and keep $10k originals ... | |
| Does it make sense to use 6k$ Nos tube with 5K$ tube amplifier? Yeah, $15k is off the scale, $6k is 10, bordering on crazy. But they last very long. |
