Tape heads
You need to be very careful when you demagnitize your r2r heads.NSGARCH gave you the correct info.I have the Teac E-1 as well, and the original instructions that came with the unit & my technical manual that came with my Reel to Reel.The techn... 
Grado Reference vs Benz Glider and H2
Overall the Morch Up-4 with my Grado is a very magical experience indeed.I also use the Wally Tracker Protracter mirror to get that last bit of retrival off the LP grooves.It is sensitive too VTA changes,and I try not to fiddle with it to much.I k... 
Grado Reference vs Benz Glider and H2
I am using the Morch UP-4 Arm with my Grado REF.and used the Cardas test record and was shaking really bad at the 10 Hz signal,But not at the 8 hz or above the 10Hz .I am using the red dot version for the arm,But have not encountered any problems ... 
Grado Reference vs Benz Glider and H2
I have the Grado Reference Reference as well,and I would find it very difficult to obtain a higher level of performance unless you spend a great deal more money on say a Lyra Titan MC for 4K,ourelse the top of the line Grado Statement which is a v... 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
I have remembered this reviewer from many years ago in the S. Calif. area where I was raised.At the time he was using the top of the line Sound Lab A-1's I beleive with a SOTA Subwoofer which I can't recall,But the sound quality was very accurate ... 
New Records noisy
I bought a new 45 RPM Classic reissue Willie Nelson Stardust and one of the lp's out of the 5 was somwwhat noisy.I tried to hand clean it,and instead of making things better,it increased the surface noise dramatically.I know now I'll need to get a... 
Basic questions about analoge to digital ripping
Sorry I haven't responded back on this post.I had computer problems and now I'm finally back online,with a new Emachine just for internet use only.I assume that the output level would not be sufficent enough to allow that to happen.The Mv. level i... 
Anyone heard the Sota Millenia?
I heard this table as well at the Audiofest and overall liked the sound vey much.IMO a bit better then the VPI's I listened to ,and definately better then Teres from the show conditions.The SOTA was more accurate,But for my personal favorite I pre...

Music Reference.I have not seen these in a long time,But have heard them and like what I hear.I've been told that they are very reliable tube products as well. 
ZYX Universe and Lyra Titan
I missed all the action from the posts.My connection is down and I'll reestablish in about 2 weeks.Here I am at the public library reading the posts after several days not seeing the flame wars going on.Yes I must clarify that possibly the system ... 
ZYX Universe and Lyra Titan
I listened to the Lyra Titan at the Auddiofest with the Brickman Table and Arm combination,and the ZYX Universe with the Teres Model 360 Table and I beleive the SchroderArm.Actually both analog rigs sounded entirely different.The Teres rig with th... 
CAPACITORS, OIL reliability VS. other CAP material
I have many many oil caps installed in my old Teac Tape Player 1969 vintage reel to reel and have never had a problem with them,But I don't run them 24 hours a day and would not advise it.The unit sounds so nice in the midband,very natural and tub... 
Basic questions about analoge to digital ripping
I record straight from my Turntable to reel to reel in 2 channel,then I put material directly on hard drive via my spdif stereo y connector into my stereo input of my soundcard.I keep the file in real time using full wav files,but the sound qualit... 
Opinions on the Oracle Delphi V's performance?
I listened to the Oracle V at the Audiofest along with the Walker Table ,Avid ,and VPI TNT,Brickman,SOTA and others I may have forgotten to mention,and IMO the Oracle V was far more musical then all the other tables by a wide margin.It reproduces ... 
Avid Acutus
I had heard some of these tables at the Audiofest and I actually from a musical point of view prefered the sound of the Oracle V with the SME arm they used plus a Dynavector XX.The sound of this setup had a coerence from bottom to top that was unm...
