| Why not magnetic tapes in stead of vinyl records? Ralph, I agree. I was thinking of my air conditioned basement while others have finished attic. Humidity is perhaps the worst followed by temperature changes. | |
| Help fixing Receptacle It is not simple - It LOOKS simple. Get licensed electrician. I was zapped couple of times by 220V and have to warn you that it is much, much worse than 120V. Don't take unnecessary risk. There are certain areas where saving money is not very wise. | |
| Why not magnetic tapes in stead of vinyl records? As I said before - attic is possibly the worst place for storage of tapes with excessive temperatures, big temperature swings between day and night and uncontrolled humidity. I would rather store them in my basement that has pretty much the same t... | |
| Why not magnetic tapes in stead of vinyl records? I guess baking and storage are different things since recommendation from National Technology Alliance states: "Storage at high temperatures ( > 74° F; > 23° C) increases tape pack tightness. This results in distortion of the tape backing an... | |
| Why not magnetic tapes in stead of vinyl records? Onhwy61, Do you expect to be alive in 2089? Taiyo Yuden CD-Rs data retention is rated 100 years. Same for SanDisk flash memory. I need only 30 years - no issue for me. | |
| Why not magnetic tapes in stead of vinyl records? Kijanki, I'm not having a cow- its pretty apparent you jumped in without reading the rest of this thread:The original question was "But, why don't they just copy the magnetic tape to other magnetic tapes and sell us those?"I've tried to explain i... | |
| Why not magnetic tapes in stead of vinyl records? Ralph, where one gets analog recordings? Where to store thousands of tapes in proper temperature and humidity? How often to rewind them to avoid print-through copying? Ampex recommends rewinding within 3 years of storage (and to keep track of it).... | |
| Why not magnetic tapes in stead of vinyl records? Practical, flexible and easy does not equate to best sound To get absolutely best sound I could hire Symphony Orchestra to play in my home, but it would be expensive and impractical. | |
| Why not magnetic tapes in stead of vinyl records? Ralph, that's true, but practicality is important at home as well. I've heard opinion that best analog TVs were better than modern digital HDTV. I don't question that, but it perhaps was very expensive set in studio conditions, plus analog broadca... | |

| Why not magnetic tapes in stead of vinyl records? My friend works for large recording studio. They got rid of all analog recorders long time ago. Before that they had people assigned to rewind constantly tens of thousands of tapes in the archives to prevent track to track copying. Don't forget hi... | |
| Is Audioquest clean and fast? King Cobra was called Python before AQ moved production to China and lowered prices to stay competitive. I had them before (XLR, 0.5m) - It was more clean/refined than AQ Viper. Viper replaced Ruby adding extension on both end and tighter bass (pu... | |
| Lead shielding Mapman, mu-metal is great for magnetic shielding but it is expensive and difficult to form since after bending it has to be annealed.Choice of lead is not the best because it is toxic and has high resistivity - 10x higher than aluminum. RFI can ge... | |
| How to configure Jriver 19 to Airport Express Dasign, but how do you connect DAC2 for DSD. If it is by USB cable can you use it in asynchronous mode for PCM? | |
