| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? With tape everything stays within the domain of electromagnetic energy, with vinyl there is a conversion of mechanical energy. Do you think nothing is altered in the conversion ?@inna There is a conversion of an electrical signal to magnetic, an... | |
| @inna Tell me your speakers and I'll tell you who you are Well I can do that! Your monikers are easy to see :) | |
| Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems No school like the old school | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? f you are saying that transferring cd's or vinyl to tapes sounds better then you are saying that the transfer is not an accurate transfer and that the distortion that the tape is adding is one that pleases you. There is nothing wrong with that ... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? They are the same track width so they should sound the same.... FWIW Four track 1/2" is uncommon- 8 tracks on 1/2' is a more common format, used by lower end semi-pro machines. | |

| Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems +1 on that.New Sensor bought the Mullard trademark so their stuff isn't 'fake' but it does not hold up like the original Mullard rectifier did in the ST-70. | |
| Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems If you want longer rectifier life, look for a Mullard made in the UK. Beware of fakes on ebay.I would also look at the cost and compare that to the garden variety. If its more than 4 times the cost, I would just buy the cheaper tubes and get a bun... | |
| Joule Electra preamp and Aragon 4004 mkII The SCA-35 is certainly musical. But I don't think its strengths are realized on many systems. Dynaco imposed come compromise on the circuit but some of them are easily fixed. The speaker terminals are a pain... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Besides, what about 1/2" tape machines ?They're awesome! Not many titles available, but you can record your own. The format is a bit pricey... | |
| Stacked Quad Questions Most of our Quad customers run the M-60. If its the ESL63, the MA-1 can drive the speaker louder than any other amp before the stock limiters kick in. If you've upgraded the protection that's a different story.If stacked ESL57s the M-60 is the onl... | |
| Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems I think my new Zyx cartridge is the culprit cause I wasn't playing quite as loud before. It sounds so doggone good though.:) that is because there is less distortion, so you naturally turn it up louder.consider folks who never previously built any... | |
| Most transparent power amp @fsonicsmith, I think you are addressing me, not George since the quote is mine.The DeVore is not a four ohm speaker; as far as their website is concerned, they don't make any. But it works best on your four-ohm taps. That is quite a bit different... | |
| Joule Electra preamp and Aragon 4004 mkII If you really are thinking about vintage, Dynaco made a wonderful little amp called the SCA-35. Its class A and makes about 15 watts per channel.If you find one it would have to be refurbished, and there are several inexpensive mods that will give... | |
| Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems The tube was not the problem.The original ST-70 design is hard on GZ-34s and they are the most likely tube to fail in the amp. Its fine as long as you don't push the amp hard, but if you are pushing hard, the limits of the rectifier tube can be ex... |
