| RU recording LPs on Reel to Reel ? While we are @ it are there any brands of tape that are considered to be of higher quality?Good sources for pre-recorded tapes (LA area) are the county library book sales. Though they have not been rotated many look to have never been checked out ... | |
| RU recording LPs on Reel to Reel ? Dennis:5-10 years makes DAT comparable to CDR's (based on what I have read to date).For archival purposes I would guess that the LP is first (by a long shot) and then is followed by quality magnetic tape (based on sane but still non commercial sto... | |
| RU recording LPs on Reel to Reel ? Hi Dennis:Reel to reel "can" end up being an expensive venture, but it's cool looking and sounds great if done correctly. For quality sound you need to record @ high speed, which uses up lots of tape.Another consideration is either finding the dec... | |
| What LP shows what analog can do? I have not read the above responses (maybe this was already mentioned), but most any decent 45 rpm LP should do the trick, just find one with music you enjoy.I have to increase anti-skaing a notch when I play them, but as my A-S is a hang weight o... | |
| hardwood floors and spikes Meech & Herman:Yes, sharp spikes will go through pennies (often within a matter of a few months).A friend of mine ended up using the pop out slugs from electrical boxes which were scattered throughout the house following a re-wire (two per spi... | |
| Which cables go with what????? Abe:Hmm, gender VS attractiveness is generally not an issue with heterosexual men/women (rolling of the eyes).I think the photos viewed were from a Hifi show (can't remember the event off hand).Anyway, I was just kidding about "it" bugging me. | |
| Which cables go with what????? RCH:Regardless of what/any intent Steve had in regard to starting this thread, I will say that his premise is an odd one (this not being the first time he has wierded me out, nor hopefully will it be the last).I can't imagine seriously discussing ... | |
| Make me feel better Well David:You have certainly improved since the time that you used a powered up Aleph 3 for a foot stool and ended up branding a portion of your body.Now you can consider yourself an older/wiser much more delicate/refined "klutz".Feel better? | |
| Talk Me off the Ledge - A cry for help Bundee:Take one of your thinnest LP's and place it on the bare platter. If you use a mat, place it on top of this LP and then try playing one of the problem LP's. This is a quick/dirty way to change VTA.Lowering the rear/tail end of the cartridge ... | |
| Starting a new system... Sorry, no experience here in regard to building a system from the ground up with the listed cables - however I may be able to suggest perhaps a better starting point (different cables to "sprout from") with a tad more info.You might also consider ... | |
| Embarrassing Tube Story Reminds me that I need to have the Tung-Sol 6sn7GT's tested. From what I have read they are more forward sounding then the old RCA/Sylvania 5692's. Might be a good match/nice change if used in combination with the 5692's.I will swing by Armetron w... | |
| Procedure for setting arm for Thorens TD165 Antiskate is adjusted by a hanging weight. If you don't have this item you can make one from a piece of shiny/finished thread (-w- a loop @ one end and a weight of your choice secured @ the other end). The weight should be approx. 5 grams, which i... | |
| Which cables go with what????? I suggest that this thread be deleted due to an overwhelming influence by either the heat, or more likely the economy. | |
| Which cables go with what????? Cornfed:Boring can sometimes be excellent (Henning Mankell novels for example).Now if you will, please do "jaded" (which though never excellent, is often entertaining:-). | |
| Dynaco owners please comment Just a guess, but your 120C may be an upgraded or modified unit (or perhaps a later version). I recall Panor (sp) selling various revised Dynaco models in the past 10 years (tube amps/preamps and something based on the SS 150, I think).I am not fa... |
