| Tonearms for reference 78 RPM system Technics SP-10R I wholeheartedly recommend the Acos Lustre GST 801.It is terrific and has two features you would specifically benefit from:1.

| Is There Any Reason To Buy A Reel-To-Reel Machine Nowadays?? Home made tapes are darn good, but not as astounding as pre-recorded tapes made from 1" 30 ips masters. We need to be realistic about the difference between pre-recorded from masters and home recorded (which has validity, but not the same SQ).On 1... | |
| Is There Any Reason To Buy A Reel-To-Reel Machine Nowadays?? I love my R2R, an am surprised that audiophiles who spend a LOT of money for minor improvements don’t add R2R to their systems. It’s not easy that’s for sure, but very rewarding. I progressed bit by bit, settled on Teac’s last Prosumer x2000r and ... | |

| Using a sub with no sub out on my amp I just checked, the 12" has no Port (my preference and advice). The 10" and 8" models have a rear port. If not near corners ok, but avoid them if possible to achieve the kind of imaging the pair is intended to achieve. Single sub, a port can get '... | |
| Using a sub with no sub out on my amp Prior response, add single sub, I assumed a space without a lot of space like my small office.IF you have the space for placement, and listening position to enjoy imaging, bass and the overtones of the bass notes give directionality and stereo ima... |
