| Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend Ah, yes....Home Depot (I should have read the entire thread before asking the question). | |
| Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend That's a beautiful, industrial-strength rack and I think you made the right decision on the metal plate footers. Who sells butcher-block in that length? | |
| Aging Gear for Aging Ears So it's not just me.....I'll postpone the session with my therapist. I really believe there's some science or other logical explanation for this anomaly. Like a newborn animal, maybe we were 'imprinted' with the sound from our first system. I'll n... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound One factor that no one seems to have considered is that everyone's hearing ability doesn't conform to a template....just like vision can vary from individual to individual, from that of a hawk to the myopic Mr. Magoo, so does the critical sense of... | |
| If your were to assemble a vintage system ? I am in the process of recreating my first real stereo system (to the greatest extent possible). A Sansui 5000X receiver with 60 strong watts per channel, a Thorens TD-160 turntable, a Teac RTR, (original was a 4010-SL, went with an A-4300SX this ... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? True addendum to the Atlanta Pop Festival posting....I went with several friends, one of whom had been burned a few weeks earlier when he gave someone $20 for a bag of weed. The guy disappeared into a house and never showed back up. At the concert... | |

| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear One last recommendation for the jazz genre.....Charles Lloyd/Jumping the Creek. Try it, you'll like it! | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Anything by Rory Gallagher....quite the rocker! | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear I listen to Argus by Wishbone Ash fairly often...good stuff! Another album from that general time period that deserves a listen is Peaceful World by the Rascals (I know....the RASCALS???). It is almost a concept album and does induce peaceful feel... | |
| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? If I have to resort to 'baking' a tape to get it to work, it's time to discard that tape. The only stereo-related item(s) I have ever cooked are Vibrapods - when they get squashed from the weight of whatever they've been under, cooking them in a 2... | |
| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? Thanks for the service manual data-base info oldhvymec. It will help me to delve into this problem and decide whether to tackle it on my own or get competent help (I'm leaning toward the latter). I learned the Law of Diminishing Returns in painful... | |
| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? Thanks for the suggestions atmasphere, oldhvymec, et al. The problem evidently rests in the pinch roller/capstan domain as a different tape was played with thew same result. Dirty tape path isn't the explanation....I've only used the deck 2 or 3 t... | |
| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? Good thing I didn't reference the Three Stooges, Miller Carbon. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk! |
