Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? @woflie62 " Admittedly, RTR with dbx noise reduction, his playback is of tremendously good SQ."I still have a Teac A-3340S and when coupled with dbx and played at15ips it is really good. It is boxed up and in a closet with 4 or 5 ampsand tapes an... | |

It happened again tonight @rodman99999 I got married in a cathederal with the real deal pipe organ and organist. He was thrilled when I requested Bach's 'Toccata and Fugue in D minor' as the music in the middle of the ceremony. Well, he kicked our a$$eswith that performa... | |
CD Treatment Under the "Fun with CDs" category: Get a yellow sticky note and scissors. Cut a very sharp angle from the note where the glue is, say1/4" down to a point. Attach to the (duh!) none label side with the point near the center just after where the p... | |
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? @millercarbon " Power cords are included as a courtesy, just like patch cords. You aren't meant to actually use them. They are meant to stay wrapped in the plastic bag in the box to be passed along with the owner's manual to the next guy."Excelle... | |
Dbx encoded discs Interestingly I ran into the few DBX records I have left. Back in the dayI would buy one and copy it to a Teac A-3340S at 15ips. It would make a perfect copy. I don't remember the model number of the DBX "compander" as they were known. But it ... | |
Does this happen often? Thanks for that one Miller. Looks like I'll be going down the Qobuz rabbit hole with Mel for a while. | |
Has anyone else auditioned something that really was terrible? I would hope we can all agree that sonic/aural memory is somewhat faulty, not as in I can't remember what my rig sounds like, but as in it'sdifficult to remember someone else's rig you heard a month ago.With that as a background, I heard the worst... | |

Useful Information @millercarbon " Sarcasm. Clever. Maybe you are lonely too. Or if not no worries, keep on running around without a mask and you will be."Mr. Miller, Had I known that you are actually lonely as you elude to in your reply I wouldn't have gone there.... | |

Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?.... Still using a Sansui TU-9900 for 42 years now. Sounds great with WBGO Jazz station out of Newark NJ. Available on the web as well (of course), its a listener supported station, hence no commercials, but the occasional fund raiser. | |
Bose 901 I owned a pair series IIs way back in the day, yes they were setup properly and I thought they sounded great. Sold them. I now have a pair of series VI that are in my garage facing backwards. It may sound crazy but they sound really good in a 100... | |
Audio Connection/Johnny Rutan Walked into the Audio Connection to purchase a Bryston BDA-3.14 Streamer/DAC. Hadn't been there in years. Had a very pleasant conversation which included some haggling. We agreed on the price and he ordered it right then and there. I said than... |
