| Advice/Warnings for a newbie au_lait,Sounds like you’re having fun. Good to see because that’s what this hobby should be about. And the small matter of the music of course It’s always sensible to ask around first but as mike_in_nc said, "Manufacturers have their fanboys, and ... | |
| Advice/Warnings for a newbie au_lait,It would be interesting to hear your impressions. It may not be the system of today, but there's little obviously wrong with the turntable/arm/cart or the speakers. 90db is a walk in the park for almost any amp.Of all the cartridges I used... | |
| Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in big_greg,He said any competently designed amplifier played back at the SAME volume would be indistinguishable from any other.I believe he is right.Give or take the odd tube design, but even they are now sounding like SS amplifiers! | |
| Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in When the designer of the speakers insists that there is no such thing as break-in (after the initial first few minutes) and that they were designed to be used with their grilles left on, don't you think it's worth paying attention to his words?Dis... | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? uberwaltz,Remember once cassette was the only way to get your music in your car.

| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? roberttdid,"This is why Bob Carver was able to modify a somewhat low cost amplifier to be sonically indistinguishable from an expensive amplifier. He matched the transfer functions of the two amplifiers with the real speaker loads."A seminal momen... | |
| Revel Salon2 with Linn Klimax Solo Dynamik I'm sorry you got sucked into the dreaded Linn trap, but I would have thought the Klimax Solo (500+ watts into 4 ohms) would have easily had more than enough drive to do the room-friendly Revels justice.There would have to be something seriously w... | |

| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? tomshults,"None of the posts that I saw raised the matter of Dolby cassette noise reduction and its tracking issues."I think a few of us did, albeit by omission.I for one never liked what Dolby B did to the sound.

| Is it possible to transfer analog tone and soundstage of vintage reel to reel to digital. roberttdid,"I think you have your answer already in the last 4 words of your statement. It is all in the mixing, and what you like is the mixing. The format is secondary in this case.Sam here again. I have a hi-res digital rip of the rolling stone... | |
