| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? Late to this party, but I love my reel to reel. I have a Technics 1520 with balanced and RCA out. I have a few tapes, maybe 200? | |
| do tubes have anything to do with volume? I guess it's possible the tubes are so bad it's effecting overall gain. Did you own the amp and preamp three years ago? I ask because you say the tubes are that old.If you have other tubes it would be an easy test. | |
| do tubes have anything to do with volume? have an amp now that is 50wpc and its much quieter than I expectedBy quieter than you expected, do you mean you must increase the preamp volume more than previously to achieve the same level?If yes, that's nothing to be concerned with, nor is it ... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Having heard both the Universe and the Dynavector I'm not surprised at the results of this listening test. The Dynavector is one of the three or four best cartridges ever made and the Air Tight PC-1 is another.When I had the Universe here on a fri... | |
| can I safely drive 250watt speakers with a 600watt I'm driving 90 DB efficient speakers with 3000 watts. 120 watts would make them play, but they sure wouldn't sound as good with the smaller amps.It's been said many times, but it's true. You're much more likely to damage a driver by clipping the a... | |
| Do enzymes only live for 8 hours Dan ed is correct--enzymes don't die --but Albert the dead cleaner is the chlorox used to clean up the murder seen --hence the name :)--richThank goodness someone else other than me is teasing a bit in the forums. It's getting as dry as unbuttered... | |
| Do enzymes only live for 8 hours How do we explain liquid detergent with enzymes? I see them for sale at stores, are they selling "dead" cleaner? | |
| White residue on stylus Thank you for the kind words. Even if you tried out Premiere' record cleaner at the going price of $20.00, that's cheap admission to test out it's cleaning ability.If you love it, maybe go for a massive order like I did. Truth is, unless you have ... | |
| White residue on stylus The company is Micro Care Corp. I would look for a local distributor as they do not sell direct. I happened to be lucky that there was a distributor here in Dallas.I had to set up as a dealer and buy 48 cans to even get a small break. I think it w... | |
| White residue on stylus Agree with AudioFeil, I had the same problem and I believe that's what it is too.I found the perfect cure, an LP cleaner called Premier'. It's formulated to do the same job as the old Freon based formula but safe for the Ozone layer (and EPA appro... | |
| The value of open space Yep, those Linn's do make beautiful music. Do you have an opinion on the music of Edgard Varèse?Also, have you heard any modern abstract artists you like? I am very fond of the music of Jan Jelinek, who also recorded under the names Farben and Gra... | |
| The value of open space Come on !Send me an email. Ill come get you if you need a ride. I hope to have my new Aesthetix phono and newly designed custom crossover by then but if not, the system is working well as is. | |
| The value of open space Well, I agree with Guidocorona on all points except format. Like you Chashmal, I too am a huge fan of vinyl LP's and have little or no emotional connection with music from CD's.I have several of Stockhausen's works as well as those of Edgard Varès... | |
| Which Turntable For Temporary Use/ please read Considering current pricing and what's involved in getting one of the old tables running, I'd go for the Garrard 301 oil bearing model. Cost will probably be around $1200.00 for table. Add a decent arm and you should come in under the $2000.00 mar... | |
| Sonny Rollins I'm jealous, bet it was a wonderful experience. I am a big fan of Jazz and he and Miles are among the best of the best. |
