| Why Not Bring Back Analog, Reel to Reel Tape Bring back analog, RTR? If you go through the trouble of lugging a great machine, a fine set of mikes and a good pre wherever you can find a group of musicians willing to let you record them you'll realize just how good analog tape can sound. If t... | |
| Reel tapes recommendations Congratulations on getting into the RTR sound with TTP and a Studer A810. Both are quality products and should more than rival the same music on vinyl. However, just as with vinyl, you need to take care of the media and the machine. Most of the ta... | |
| How to order Wally Tools... I put up my money, order a proven product, then wait for how long? In today's economy, If I pay today I better get the goods tomorrow, if not I'm dealing with the wrong company. Thoughts from a guy that owns a company that depends on the housing m... | |
| How to order Wally Tools... Quite a while back I ordered three "Wally Tractors". The only way I FINALLY got delivery was to ask a good personal friend of mine, and also a personal friend Wally's, to call and ask about my order. I received it a about a week or so later. Unles... | |
| SOTA reel to reel players Alley cat, IT IS ME ! the only problem is that you photoshopped the important appendage. Had you not done that, the only thing we would've seen would be a blurrrrrrrr. regards, Fritz the cat. | |
| SOTA reel to reel players Atmasphere, The silica gel and plastic bag is an idea that most don't think about, Kudos! I'm going to use both. Food for thought; I bought 80 reels of one pass Ampex 456 tape for $20 bucks a reel. The reel alone is worth about $14 bucks. I baked ... | |
| LP eccentricity, spindle hole center,The fix?????? Hi Raul, It's been a while since we crossed threads. I have a feeling that by now you have a few more tone arms and cartridges; Ain't it great! I'll send 50 bucks to kick it off if I can get a Happy meal coupon with my tax free donation. regards, ... | |
| LP eccentricity, spindle hole center,The fix?????? Dertonarm, The center spindle was not omitted. The spindle dia. on the Denon is .284 inches; the smallest diameter generally found on LPs. If i find a record with a larger hole I notice the back and forth motion of the arm. I then put the polycarb... | |
| LP eccentricity, spindle hole center,The fix?????? Has2be, Whenever you think you're the craziest person on the planet, someone trumps you. Thanks for the reply, Ken | |
| Airtight vs My Sonic Lab I've heard the pro's and cons about both cartridges being the same, especially after I asked my seller of about purchasing a PC 1. The response was, "They're made by the same gentleman, why would you buy it twice?" Would the same response be to t... | |
| Reel to Reel Commcat hit it right on the nose, there's not much more one can say about the sound quality of RTR recordings. A few years ago I was lucky enough to buy back the Ampex 351-2 I bought new in 1958. The friend to whom I sold it, put it in his closet ... | |
| SOTA Millennia - Comments? Sit, I have comments on the Millennia and Sota in general. I too have grown accustomed to the brand, having bought a Star with an electronic flywheel from Robert Becker at a CES show in Chicago too many years ago. I had a platter upgrade about 15 ... | |
| Can you adjust the phase between subs and mains? Shadorne, You're exactly right!. It goes just before the bass amps and shifts the phase from zero thru 180 degrees and will also invert the phase to allow adjustment thru a total of 360 degrees of one full cycle. I guess it's the same as if the pr... | |
| Can you adjust the phase between subs and mains? Shadorne, Phase was one of the most important points I had to address when building the speakers. The more drivers you use, the greater chance you'll have phase issues.All the drivers in the three front towers are time aligned with respect to each... | |
| Tape Project Tapes Gentleman, Please allow me to make a comparison of a vinyl system to a tape system. The TT / arm combination will allow the cartridge to retrieve the information from the LP. Buy a $50K table/ arm and compare it to a $500 table on ebay. Buy a tape... |
