2 track or 4 track reel to reel deck?
It's been awhile, but I don't believe that you can play a pre-recorded commercially released reel to reel tape (4 track) on a 2 track machine. You can, however, play a 2 track tape on a 4 track machine. 
is interconnect more important than speaker cable
Pops, do you prefer your system, or a Bose system? :-) 
is interconnect more important than speaker cable
I was told the exact opposite! My old dealer (Sound Images of Westport, MA...I moved out to AZ) was truly interested in High-end audio, and rather than just making a profit, educated each potential buyer. I was told that speaker cables would give ...

Atma-sphere M60 II.3-Any good for 4 ohm speaker?
Trelja, your NOS 12SX7's that you bought, are you talking about USA or EU brands, or Chinese, Russian, or Yugo brands? I'm not sure, since you say that the 12SX7's are not being produced, so all tubes would technically be considered NOS. What are ... 
Power Up the System - What Do You Do?
Sd2005gt, then you've been lucky for years...don't push it! Why is you're system "popping" the speakers, anyway?

Ralph is back!Many of you may not be aware of the fact that Ralph Karsten has returned to Atma-sphere, along with his proven track record of product development, customer service, quality, and integrity. The other parties who were briefly running ... 
Power Up the System - What Do You Do?
Sd2005gt, you're playing with fire! No decent system should "pop" the speakers when turned on. Speakers should NEVER be connected when an amp is powered up. Short out your amp output or speaker terminals on a hot amp, and you're asking for a world...
