| Moving to Europe If you get Nottingham you would only have to replace the motor, about $400, I guess. Makes no sense to buy it here, though, it is less expensive if you buy it from the UK, don’t know about other countries. | |
| If you only had... Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame. First release Japanese pressing is best followed by Canadian 360 Sound first release followed by US original. | |
| Reel to reel 1/2" 30 ips, that's the spirit. But..some master tapes are really old so in certain cases your best master tape dub is original pressing record. | |
| Reel to reel Anyone using 1/2" or 1" deck ? Big difference ? | |
| Good Product or Nonsense? If I wanted to do it the right way I would get, say, four copies of a well done cd and compared Optrix, LAST, Auric and Walker treatments. Yeah, maybe better not to use Optrix on valuable gold discs. I treated three gold cds with it but only two M... | |
| Reel to reel I hope that audiophile tape movement is gaining momentum. It will always probably be a limited number, but if it is a very stable - it's good. Get in touch with Germans and Japanese, they got some stuff, privileged Americans do too. Where do you t... | |
| Reel to reel This whole vinyl thing is a money making industry BS. All the big ticket tables, arms, cartridges, phono stages etc. All we need is good tape decks and good pre-recorded tapes. Even no separate preamp is needed, though external play head preamp co... | |
| Reel to reel Ralph, I don't fully trust your hearing and your neutrality and objectivity. Tape is overall superior to any LP pressing in real world. As for theoretical possibilities, I don't know, but there is always an issue of playback. Put $200k vinyl set-u... | |
| Power - where to start? Mains, chords, conditioner, filter? Regenerator helps a lot in my case, I have older PS Audio PPP, but it is not enough when wall current is very bad. Possibly their newer units are significantly better. But again, there is no substitute for great equipment. Power cord on regenerato... | |
| Vibratory or Not? You know, brain vibrates too and sometimes not quite in a right way. This is one of the most senseless threads on Audiogon of all times.There is only one fundamental force in music.It's the emotions, stupid. | |
| Power - where to start? Mains, chords, conditioner, filter? The OP is an apartment dweller - no dedicated lines, only better outlets and power cords. Yeah, conditioners and regenerators is a complicated subject.In any case, nothing will create a situation of perfect power, big custom batteries might come c... | |
| Reel to reel I understand. But for me open reel deck would make perfect sense. I don't play most of my records entirely so I have to jump and move the needle. I would make compilations. Another idea, very difficult to realize, is to find master tape dubs of th... | |
| Good Product or Nonsense? Yeah, but I decided not to try it and got Optrix instead. | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? In my observation, those whose hearing is good enough - no need for golden ear - hear very similarly but they can verbalize it in a different and sometimes unclear ways and of course, sound preferences differ. Most of people around me prefer elect... | |
| Good Product or Nonsense? Never tried it, but Walter Davies of LAST usually or always makes good stuff. But he is analog guy. So is Lloyd Walker. |
