| ARC Ref phono 2 vs ASR Basis Excl 2010 I am having a hard time reconciling "nothing is wrong" but yet you feel the need to mod a brand new very expensive piece of gear. Doesn't that void your ARC warranty or does ARC acknowledge GNS mods? ARC usually doesn't look kindly on their gear t... | |
| A new TT from Steve Dobbins,"The Beat." ??? MikeL-I too love the Tommy album-it is a timeless classic. I hope I hear that bass punch you referred to in the Overture. I don't think it exists on the other pressings (Track, Decca, and MCA). Do you have a copy of "Won't get fooled again" on MCA... | |
| A new TT from Steve Dobbins,"The Beat." ??? MikeL-based on your comments about the Simply Vinyl Tommy LP, I ordered one this morning. I have a really nice MCA version, but it doesn't have the bottom end you are talking about. | |
| ARC Ref phono 2 vs ASR Basis Excl 2010 I think something is very wrong here. Either ARC is hosing people with the price of the ARC REF 2 because it is essentially an unfinished product which must be sent off to be modded right away to fix all of things that ARC negelected or people are... | |
| Strange phenomona this hobby. There are some interesting thoughts here. For many of us, our goal is to have our stereo system come as close as we can make them into fooling us that we are hearing live music. We can argue whether that means we are being transported to the recor... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over I want to thank everyone for the kind comments. I have been out of town all week on business and just returned last night so this is the first chance I have had to read all of the new comments posted.Dertonarm-the mailman just pulled into my drive... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over I didn't mean to place undue emphasis on the work involved in setting up the FR64s. This was my first encounter with the FR64s and there is more work involved in setting it up vice other pivoted arms I have owned in the past and it puzzles me that... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Thanks for all the kind comments and I am going to try and answer some questions that were asked. With regards to what device I used to set up the FR64s, I used the Dennesen Soundtracker. It is Dertonarm's opinion that the Soundtracker is the best... | |
| Reel to Reel The C-37 was never intended to be a field machine-it was designed to be a studio warhorse. I will certainly be interested in hearing your recordings if you want to share the wealth. | |
| Bent cantilever on Exact 2......oops Adam18-I almost glossed over that you made two posts here and that you are a dentist. When I first read your post I thought you were some poor kid or a married man whose wife rules the checkbook. I have never heard of a poor dentist. Geez, I thoug... | |
| Reel to Reel Kipdent-I don't think your A80 will last any longer than a properly maintained C-37. The C-37 is built like a battle ship and was designed with maintenance in mind. The tapes that Dertonarm is referring to are the early 2 track tapes that were mad... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? I disagree with both Syntaz and Frogman. I hardly believe there is "no hope" left for High End audio. And Frogman, I think you have the subjectivist argument reversed. I think there are far too many people who will believe anything versus people w... | |
| Help me start off right in the reel to reel realm 4musica-I can't help you because you don't know what you are looking for yet. TP stands for the Tape Project and they are selling 15 ips 2 track tapes that are usually made from the master tape (but not always, the Linda R. came from a safety copy... | |
| Help me start off right in the reel to reel realm You need to clarify what type of prerecorded tapes you plan on playing. Are we talking TP type tapes here or 7 1/2" 4 track tapes or both? The answer will have a profound effect on which machine you should buy. | |
| Late Night Hum Issues: Help? I don't think RF causes hum. If your cables are unshielded, you will actually hear the radio stations as your cables act like antennas. You need to make sure you are using properly shielded cables and that there is nothing wrong with your ground w... |
