| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? I own a Techics RS-1500 w/ Seduction output amp, and a Pioneer RT-707. Both are in constant use at Casa johnbrown.I record compilation tapes from CDs on the Technics (2 track, 7.5ips). For whatever reason, the CDs don't sound as 'clinical' once pr... | |
| Which Turntable For Temporary Use/ please read I'd go for either of the Garrards-potential for sound that you may prefer over the 'Raven', easy resale for 'at least' what you paid if you decide to sell. Doing the whole-plinth build thing is some work, but I presume you know that. The Thorens w... | |

| Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1? Where is the 'hyperbole' and 'hand wringing'? All I see is a correction of previous hyperbole-for instance, calling into question the birth of the 'magic diamond' as a 150.00 cart as "rubbish", with no evidence to the contrary (except a huge price... | |

| Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1? From what I've seen in the thread, the only 'evidence' to prove it's not a modded dl-103 (or, to give the benefit of the doubt, a 103r) is one guy who says that's "rubbish", a supposed 'letter' from a supposed 'friend of the manufacturer' claiming... | |

| Record Sleeves - Which ones and where? Agree with Markd51 about the Japanese resealable outers. They are simply a higher-quality way to store the records. Not as bulky, crystal clear, and I like being able to fully seal the album.One thing-they are not 6 mil thick, in fact they are ver... | |

Fortunately, we can rest assured that he'll always be here to remi... | |
| How to remove a 'press fit' steel ball bearing? You're gonna have to post a picture. I think a lot of folks still don't understand it.I tend to agree with those who say that, unless the existing bearing is flatspotted, don't bother. In particular, if you're doing this because of the tubesforeve... | |
