| Reel to reel Apologies Orpheus for not adding my updated status over the last several months. Work kept me away from home for most of the summer. And my Avenger purchase was a bust, with horrendous bass feedback at all but the lowest listening levels. Long sto... | |
| Reel to reel Yes Orpheus10, the Otari is an excellent deck. So is my Technics RS-1506, but it cannot record in 1/2 track mode, only 4 track in both directions, which is what I needed it for at the time of purchase. The 1506 is also in need of a recap and goo... | |
| Reel to reel I reached out to the vendor and they promptly responded, offering to replace the defective Side B tape. They are a husband/wife team and she assured me her Husband listened to the master tape and confirmed the master is perfect, so the audio arti... | |
| Reel to reel Thank you for your kind words Orpehius. It was my mom and she is missed. She did not suffer and we are thankful for that.Glad you enjoyed my detailed post. Perhaps a bit too detailed for most.Well, here is part 2. And unfortunately, it doesn't ... | |
| Reel to reel orpheus106,112 posts04-18-2019 1:25pmGusser, I'm looking forward to hearing about your results. Taking all things into consideration, 7.5 is the best (recording) speed. Hello All,My apologies for the late follow up. A family member passed away... | |
| Reel to reel I'll give the SPL meter test a try. Found one on feebay cheap and it's in good working order. | |
| Reel to reel Yikes! $600... way out of my range... Good thing I haven't heard any of her music yet...if I become a fan, it would be hard to resist, but I just can't justify that kind of $, regardless of the quality of the format... maybe if I hit the lotter... | |
| Reel to reel tomic6012,520 posts04-20-2019 12:45amAnybody do the free experiment yet ? tomic601, not sure what you are referring to... I enjoy a good experiment (as long as it's nondestructive to my gear) and free? You have piqued my interest... Of what d... | |
| Reel to reel I can see the dilemma, Inna. This one tape's cost of admission is $200, on sale with free shipping for the sale. I am quite aware that this tape may make it difficult to go back to LP's, but alas, saving for retirement limits that kind of discre... | |
| Reel to reel Agreed! I will report asap. | |
| Reel to reel Thank you for your thoughts on recording Orpheus10. I believe I will stay with 7.5 ips as well when I make my playlists. 15 ips does use up a lot of tape in a short amount of time. I'm sure the difference in speed will be of little consequence ... | |
| Who uses power conditioning? I live in a rural area, prone to power outages and voltage sags during the summer when everyone (including us) have the a/c going. My "A" system has evolved since I became enamored with audiophilia (is that a word?) and my system's components are... | |
| Reel to reel Crazy price, but considering all the R&D that was necessary, perhaps a reasonable MSRP, but way out most audiophile's budget (including mine) just to play 1/2 track tapes. Recording is not an option. | |
| Reel to reel Inna: Yes, it is! It is near new in appearance and operation. Quite exceptional since it was built in 1986. RE: tape transport. Just my HO. I have spent minimal time with the Otari and should reserve judgement. I am awaiting a replacement i... | |
| Reel to reel Orpheus10, I wish I could help but when I purchased my 1506 in '84 at a hole in the wall used hifi gear shop in Lawton, OK while in the army, the soldier selling it via the shop did not provide with feet, all 6 selector switch plastic covers wer... |
