| Outputs, Technics 1520 Reel to Reel. I am primarily listening, buying tape at EBAY and where ever I can find it. Calling around today to several suppliers I found out Quantegy will resume operations after they get their finances reorganized. Stock is supposed to resume by the end of ... | |
| Outputs, Technics 1520 Reel to Reel. I drilled, filed and installed an IEC male in place of the convenience outlet on the Technics 1520 power and ground panel and then auditioned three power cords.The first was the original cord with a IEC female added, the second was a Belden that c... | |
| Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth Warren. First would be This Mortal Coil, "It'll End In Tears" as mentioned in my first post.Next would be Cocteau Twins where the voices are mysteriously intertwined and very melodic set to off beat timing and phasing. I have half dozen from this ... | |
| Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth The mysterious voice of "Dead Can Dance" is Lisa Gerrard, the same voice heard in the motion picture "Gladiator" and "Whale Rider".Her first album is simply titled "This Mortal Coil," produced in 1983 and available in the USA on LP in 1984. It's a... | |
| Outputs, Technics 1520 Reel to Reel. Too bad you don't "hate" all those half track tapes, what a nice library that would be.......400 tapes. It would take awhile to spin those. | |
| Outputs, Technics 1520 Reel to Reel. I know that is true, however it is difficult to find a machine that will play 3.75, 7.5 And 15 IPS in quarter and half track with single ended and balanced in and out.Other options were a highly modified Studer from Filmco in Canada for quadruple ... | |
| Review: Porter Port AC Outlet Customized Hubbell 8300 Tweak Thank you Larryb, your results are what I experienced in my own system. This may now be long forgotten, Porter Ports began as a personal project to avoid paying retail for the outlets I needed during construction of my listening room.I sourced un-... | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER So Ntscdan, you have NEVER heard an LP cut from a digital master that was better than CD? Guess you don't have a copy of Alison Krauss, "Forget About It" because the vinyl KILLS the CD. I too am a vinyl guy and have little use for digital. However... | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER Pabelson, are you speaking from a theoretical point of view? I ask, because had you made the comparison with a high end turntable and CD, you would not make that statement.All of my recordings from digital masters are better on LP than CD, but the... | |
| Am I crazy????? Try THIS Many speaker designs benefit from boundary reinforcement (bass gain) from proximity to foor plus rear wall. Put the numbers into CARA and view the huge difference placement make.http://www.cara.de/ENU/index.htmlBookshelf speakers in particular are... | |
| Digital Recording Telefunken Vinyl Don't know about the performance or the recording as those are completely separate issues.As for digital versus analog, I generally prefer analog but conversions from an excellent digital master DIRECTLY to analog at the studio is very different t... | |
| Agon Members at CES Audiogon Yellow.Everyone will be green with envy, especially Gunbei. | |
| Vintage tubes skyrocketing in price Yioryos, first of all, 6922 Telefunkens are not very good (in my opinion). You should consider 6DJ8 Telefunkens instead. I just clicked over to EBAY and looked at completed items. Today, 6 Telefunken 6DJ8's closed at $25.00 each, "pulls" from a He... | |
| Agon Members at CES I'm all for the green dot but wonder if instead it should be "Audiogon Yellow?"Remember, I will be taking photo's of EVERYTHING. If I catch any of you at the porn show or with strippers like last year, I'm gonna put it up at Audiogon for your sign... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? Performance wise they are excellent. Price may not be competitive (imported, heavy weight gear with duty and a middle man) but workmanship and musicality have always been their strong suit and I suspect they are equal or better than the last time ... |
