| Why didn't DAT tape decks succeed in the market? My Tascam portable DAT that I recorded live shows with had both 16/44.1 and 16/48. Still have the deck and the live recordings but haven't used it in years. | |
| MAC Autoformers? To clarify a bit I made reference to Class A3 operation as implemented by Jack Elliano and used in the design of his A3-500 300B/6A3 amplifier. As Jack does not design amplifiers with multiple taps, this Class A3 operation achieves similar results... | |
| Small or large sub for music I hardly ever sit in the sweet spot. and I have never been concerned with getting the deepest bass. I can't think of any of my guests wanting to stack up on or behind the sweet spot either, but we all want to hear good sound wherever we are in the... | |
| MAC Autoformers? The link Roger posted did not seem to work so here it is again: https://www.stereophile.com/content/devore-fidelity-orangutan-o96-loudspeaker-measurements | |
| MAC Autoformers? I neglected to mention that the 6AS7GA tubes I am using are General Electric military spec. In addition, as Roger had performed measurements and had data on the tubes he was able to match them so they were drawing an equal amount of current. Match... | |
| MAC Autoformers? @atmasphere - Hi Ralph, I know we have had conversations about the 6AS7GA tubes and your comment above echoes the advice you gave me. However, Roger has a nice stock of those tubes and he asked me if I wanted to try them in the M-60s. So I took it... | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker Roger has done a drop in board modification for the Acoustat direct drive amp. The main upgrade is the elimination of the solid state input (opamp) in favor of a tube input using 3 x 6DJ8/6922 tubes. I use am using the Acoustat direct drives on my... | |
| NEEDED!!! Bi Amp Pros out there that can give me some advice Yes the direct drive amps are nice and Roger does use them in his home system. In the shop we just listen to whatever is lying around. I think right now it's a vintage Marantz receiver with some basic small monitors. The digital source is an old S... | |
| MAC Autoformers? In addition to Brooks, John Ruttan at Audio Connection used to sell Vandersteen and MR combos and IIRC correctly it was the RM-10 and 2s. Given the new cost of the RM-200 a used one for under $3k is quite a bargain. It should also be noted that t... | |
| NEEDED!!! Bi Amp Pros out there that can give me some advice @bdp24 - Yes Eric I have what Roger now calls the Airspring woofer system. They are sealed 1.4 cu.ft. (internal) boxes with 1.4 cu.ft. Very small footprint in comparison to the Audiokinesis Swarm (which are also fantastic) and work quite well. Whe... | |
| NEEDED!!! Bi Amp Pros out there that can give me some advice Rooms without treatment are for listeners not serious about their music reproduction. Rooms sound HORRIBLE with zero treatment. (no comments about my room has no treatment and sounds great, it just means you think horrible sonics sound great)This ... | |
| MAC Autoformers? @georgehifi - Yes let's go with the MkIII. I'm sure while ruffling some feathers on the active preamp side, you could ruffle a few more as there have been a few vendors venturing into the passive LDR space at prices quite a bit above what I paid f... | |
| MAC Autoformers? Paul was awesome. I had the pleasure at hanging out with him at RMAF several years ago. We met in Bobby P.’s room as Paul was a Merlin owner. It was there that I mentioned to him the Lightspeed and he bought it soon thereafter. In addition to the ... | |
| Studer vs Otari Other than the MP-3 I guess I just lucked into the other two. A friend of mine bought the DeHavilland and was not happy with it, so I took it off his hands for pretty cheap. The attraction is that it has both IEC and NAB EQ, where the MP-3 has IEC... | |
| Studer vs Otari I may have missed this but is the intent to use the tape deck’s internal output section and run it into a preamp, or to bypass the output section by taking the signal directly off the tape head and running it through an external tape head preamp?F... |
