| Good Reel-To Reel Blank RecordingTape You have a few choices for new production blank recording tape, including ATR Magnetics and Recording the Masters. What do you hope to gain by recording LP to tape? | |
| Used gear prices and the state of the hobby. bigtwin No warranty? That would not be the case in something less than a year old? Many warranties are not transferable; they typically apply only to the original purchaser when bought through an authorized dealer. There are exceptions, ... | |
| Used gear prices and the state of the hobby. bigtwin ... it drives me crazy when I'm selling something that is high quality, less than a year old, like new condition and buyers think 50% is a fair offer because it's "used" ... It's not only used, it has no warranty. I never offer more th... | |
| Trying to convert my streaming service from Spotify to Qobuz. stowohioguy ... When I started this downloading the Qobuz app, it required that I have itunes on my phone as well, is that the key to this process ... No, not at all. I can’t imagine why your download worked that way. | |
| ETHERNET CABLES fredrik222 ... confirmation bias is a huge issue for the untrained. Measurementalists enjoy no immunity to confirmation bias; it is no less an issue for them. | |
| Time/Process of Hooking up New Equipment I among those that take their time when installing new gear. The task is pleasant enough if time is not a factor and of course there's that fun of opening a carton and - as my dealer likes to say - enjoying all of that fresh Minnestota air as it e... | |
| Doobie Brothers' drummer John Hartman dead at 72. That’s an interesting story. I’ve been a major Doobies fan from the beginning and have long thought the band was underrated. Shogren apparently had a life after the Doobies and never lost his ambition, based on this obit. Speaking of the Doobies,... | |

| Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl mofimadness While I agree that most of the Dan catalog was well done, these are UHQR’s. Should be the penultimate of reissues ... I can only hope you're mistaken @mofimadness, or that you don't know the definition of "penultimate." | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them What I have found interesting about the MoFi issue is the level of indignation - and even outright anger - that it has prompted from some. And I have to wonder: Have any of them actually ever bought any MoFi LPs? It will be interesting to see if ... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions dpop FM reception these days can be very noisy. That's another reason why OTA audio processing is kept aggressive, to mask that noise. Another factor is FM stereo performance, which at best has a S/N ratio of -65 dB. If the same station has a de... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions The truth is that the stream of most radio stations is very lossy mp3 quality. So even if the stream has less processing than OTA, the sound suffers. Same with so-called "HD" radio. It's not high definition at all, but lossy digital. And that's wh... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions paradisecom Why not just stream any station you like? Why be restricted to the 1 or 2 that might be available where you live? The fidelity of OTA audio is almost always better than streamed radio. Once set up, you can't beat the convenience o... | |
