| Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track Just remembered a guy (Roger) I occasionaly hung out with in the 80's. He had an 8-Track player in his old Dodge Dart, but he only had "one" tape which was David Bowie "Diamond Dogs". When we played darts @ Kings Head and The Cat and the Fiddle ... | |
| Too Much Gain the Issue ? (preamp and amp) Here's a USA purchase source for Rothwell, but I'm not familiar with them (purchased mine almost 20 years ago). They are listed under accessories and I think that I paid $40/pair ages ago. I went for less expensive as the AI preamp was a loaner ... | |
| Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track pehare: Allman Bros Fillmore East is my most "remembered" tape along with Santana, Ten Years After, Johnny Winter and the "Magic Carpet Ride" band. I first heard a stereo cassette tape around 1971 (Advent player?) though I owned a mono cassette... | |
| Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track The 8-Track was pretty much responsible for me coming close to acing my ACT/SAT tests. Remembering which matchbook(s) and where to place it/them for each 8-Track (while stoned) was quite a mental workout. DeKay | |

| Too Much Gain the Issue ? (preamp and amp) The input impedance of the Pass is too high for the SLP-05. 10K ohm is recommended (per a Stereophile review/measurements) and the Pass is 50K/100K depending upon single ended/balanced connection. The mismatch will theoretically give a leaner so... | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl curiousjim: The AT unit was recently reissued for $199, but is listed as sold out (per the following link). The original model "seems" to go for big bucks @ auction sites. This said, the "original" sounded like crap (nothing like the YT video I... | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl Try it again, but spend your analog dollars more wisely. DeKay | |
| Recommendation for integrated amplifier for Paradigm Studio 20s v.5 Kota: I almost ordered the ML amp you noted to try room correction, but per the on-sight info I do not own any of the devices required to utilize the "ARC" feature. I assume that most here do, but all I have is a 4-5 year old iMac and an approx.... | |
| ACME 300B matched pair - different blue glow intensity - new in amp world I've experienced the blue glow (floating on the glass) on numerous 300B tubes to varying degrees and never found a correlation between such VS sound quality or longevity. The only high failure rate 300B's I used were from Svetlana St. Petersburg,... | |
