Please be gentle....
catinwa ...I found this:https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/sharp_rdn_709rdn70.htmlThese aren’t worth much in today’s market. Good in their day though. You would need pre-recorded 4-track reel to reel tapes to play, With that thought in mind, dig around...

^^^ Hooked is the correct word, hifiman5. I am, totally, as my previous posts will attest to. In spite of an already humongous record and CD collection, I'm finding myself searching out new music and artists that I'm not familiar with. Not thinkin... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic

How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
A holographic image is part of the joy of audiophile-ism, no doubt. But ... it's not everything. The main thing to me is tonal accuracy. The instruments have to sound right first. That entails listening to enough live music in order to be able to ... 
Marketing slogans to catch the consumers attention
