| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? R2R is a different story. R2R using Dolby SR can be argued to be as good as, or better than, hi rez digital. D2D never made it because it is essentially a live recording. | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Inna,Please enjoy your cassette recordings, as that is what it is ultimately all about. However, I could never imagine how a cassette without the use of Dolby would be an improvement in any regard. However, I respect the fact that you do. I have o... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Maybe I’m wrong, but if your cassettes sound better than your turntable, then something is wrong with your vinyl set up or hardware. Cassettes can sound good but ultimately I find vinyl better. Now, if Dolby SR was used for all cassette mastering ... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Geoffkait,Compression is added to get "punch". As a recording engineer I learned this from others and use it myself. If your kick sounds loose and flabby, add compression. It will give it punch. If the bass is a bit defused and lost in the mix, an... | |
| Audible Illusions M--Are you using built-in phono or external phono preamp? John Curl’s Gold Phono board is a special order phono board and only on select preamps. It also is made for low output moving coil cartridges. Given that the OP is using a BPS, which is moderate output, I doubt he has the Gold Board. The stock pho... | |
| Audible Illusions M--Are you using built-in phono or external phono preamp? I have a 3a with mm section. My AcousTech ph1 premium, with op amp upgrades blows it away. However, since I run LOMC's I really have no use for the mm section in the 3a. When I have run HOMC, my AcouSTech still out performs it. That at being said,... | |
| How was the sound of your TDSS upgrade to your Nuforce Ref 9 amps? I had him do the full monty for a pair about 1.5 years ago. His communication, care and work was A+. They are driving a modified pair of Maggie 3a's and sound wonderful. Full spectrum, with excellent drive. Absolutely no complaints. You should be ... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? I don't find that to be true for cassettes vs vinyl. | |

| Arm suggestions to replace Magnepan Unitrac on TD 160 Super There is another arm that has been getting great press, although, I have no experience with it. I am considering trying one, though. Check out this site: https://designbuildlisten.com/collections/the-wand-classic-tonearm | |
| Arm suggestions to replace Magnepan Unitrac on TD 160 Super I think a Graham arm on a TD 160 is extreme overkill and the table would not benefit from this excellent arm. The Jelco or Rega variants are within the price point for this table and can create an excellent end product. If you are considering a Gr... | |
| The Music Room Bought a pair of JM Labs Micro Utopias. They worked with me on the price. One woofer was damaged during shipping. They paid for the speakers to be sent back to them. They purchased new drivers replaced them and sent them back to me as quickly as t... | |
| Arm suggestions to replace Magnepan Unitrac on TD 160 Super Jelco 750 or Michell Tecnoarm, or Audiomods. | |
| Thoughts on the new Sutherland KC Vibe? I am also an owner of an AcousTech PH1Premium. Great pre amp made even better by replacing the op amps. Makes it quieter and more dynamic.im also interested in how the Vibe sounds. | |
| Amplifier that visually matches Thorens TD-160 I think a tube integrated would look best. Try Jolida. You need both the tubes and transformers showing. |
