Just wanted to introduce myself.
Hey Ryan, thanks for listing your studio gear. I'm very impressed. I have visions of George Martin working in your studio.Have you heard of The Tape Project? They are committed to high-end analogue music production.

Ryan, do you have a studio setup with a console? Can you tell us what associated gear you are using?

Yes @dweller , there were decks that recorded at 30ips. Before my time.Ryan, it's so cool you are in touch with Brian Wilson.And very cool that you're working with pro gear. My favorite deck was the Ampex 440, a real workhorse. Definitely need to ...

Better idea... is your wifi turned on? (look for the icon)If it is on, maybe iTunes isn't connected to your network.

Hi, Ryan.  As a young guy, how did you get involved with reel to reel?   I've had my hands on many 1/4" and half inch decks in my profession. I wish I could afford to invest in R-R for my home system.What decks have you owned and what tape stock h... 
So I just inherited a bunch of CD's and some are made overseas...
I've been buying from Discogs for a while. It's great for research and finding the orginal version of a CD or LP, not a remaster.

The Power Rating of the 8.1 is 40 to 300 watts RMS. That is a wide range and it would be to your benefit to move up to higher power and not be near the recommended minimum.

TBH, in the world of amplifiers, that is a negligible difference in power between the 2 models.  We've established that your Kappa's are basically a 4 ohm speaker, so we are not interested in the 8 ohm spec of 75 wpc. The speakers will be drawing ...

You're right, specs vary online.This one has a rating of 70w into 4 ohms.https://www.cnet.com/news/low-costhigh-performance-contender-onkyo-a-9010-integrated-amplifier/I think the real issue is that the Kappa's are more demanding than a 4 ohm spea...
