| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? raymonda, you should've read carefully what I wrote. I didn't say that cassette sounded better in all aspects of the performance. It is not all or nothing, you know. I never use any dolby.I also use top cables when recording and comparing the two.... | |
| Octave v70se OR v80se I think, you will never know unless you try both in your room. They also have something called super black box, at least they used to have it. When it comes to cost difference, it becomes very subjective.Top of the line models always get special a... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Aavik doesn't have XLR inputs, has only fixed 62db phono gain, only three line inputs and it doesn't weigh much. No thank you, not for me.T+ A looks impressive. Of those I would only audition the Gryphon and the German. Some do like Vitus, many ot... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Even if direct to disc can theoretically sound slighly better in some respects, I think, tape will still have an edge in smoothness and continuity, perhaps in drive as well. And think of the level of the equipment that you would need to get that o... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? I believe, best tape decks and turntables/arms/cartridges were made later than in early 70's. Or the tape itself, for that matter. He proved nothing. | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Yeah, some guys 'bake' the tape, use LAST tape and head preservatives and do other things. I use LAST head preservative that ideally should be applied before playing each cassette. My deck probably has 5000-6000 hours of playtime on it and the hea... | |
| Octave v70se OR v80se My suggestion would be to get the top of the line and more powerful model. Dynaudio like power. I also read in another thread that Octave responds very well to tube rolling with NOS Telefunken and Siemens tubes. If that's what you are inclined to ... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? trelja, I see. How would they sound with Focal Utopia, I wonder ? Both are French, and Utopia are high resolution but somewhat bright speakers. | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? I have couple of Vertex cassettes that I played more than 500 times. I almost never rewind or fastforward. They still play just as good as when they were new. And this particular tape is Maxell back coated tape that they used it their reels. They ... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? BIG SHAME !!!But it's not in museum, there is a number of people very serious about R2R recording and playback.Vinyl is great for archive, though, and back-up. | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Maxell Metal Vertex is the very best cassette tape, and my deck is not even specifically calibrated for it.I'll get Otari or Studer open reel deck in time and then the turntable, any turntable, will not sound better in any aspect. I will also be a... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? I can run the phono thru the deck, this gives extra gain at the slight expense of the resolution. The turntable has better dynamics and detail and soundstage, tape sounds more natural. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? trelja, what speakers do you use with Jadis ? | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? I use well-tuned Nakamichi 682ZX with custom transformer with Maxell Vertex tapes. Recordings from cds also sound better than cds, in the same aspects. Cassette is just a mini reel, four track, slow speed. But of course I meant mostly open reel de... | |
| How expensive are best NOS tubes ? And how difficult to find ? But for me, unless too much, better this kind of coloration than 'coloration by omission 'done by transistor amps. |
