| Have You Tried the Super Platter Stringreen-Just wanted you to know that I purchased a sealed copy of the Gordon Lightfoot LP on Ebay that you referred to in your other post on the VPI rim job. I will listen to the cut you referred to in order to see if I can hear what you did af... | |
| The VPI Rim Drive I didn't mean to pick on VPI in particular, just the LP rabbit hole in general. And as far as Stringreen's statement that anything Harry has ever done has been an improvement over what came before it is flat wrong. I was told to get rid of the add... | |
| Koetsu step up transformer - who knows about it? I agree with the statement that no mc tranformers sound worth a damn. I personally wouldn't give you $.02 for any of them. If you want to read one of the best articles I think was ever written on the sound of step-up devices, get the copy of TAS w... | |
| Tape Project Tapes Check out my thread I started on the analog forum asking how many people still had reel to reel decks and used them. Several people responded that belong to the TP. I personally talked to one of the guys on the phone and he loves the tapes. He sai... | |
| The VPI Rim Drive "threadcrapping"-I like that term. Well, I personally don't think most people know that RTR sounds better than LPs and that was my point. As for how many of your records from a 30 year collection are available on RTR, if you mean currently other t... | |
| The VPI Rim Drive The biggest improvement you can make to your system is to quit buying the latest gadgets that VPI makes (and they offer 100 new upgrades each month that makes the last 100 upgrades from last month obsolete)and buy yourself an outstanding reel to r... | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? For $131.00 for a Revox A-77, I would be doubtful of the working condition. Please let us know how it works out. Is this the 1/4 track 3 3/4 ips-7 1/2ips version? | |
| What is the BEST phono stage Wow. Best preamp on the market. I guess that settles that argument. | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? Kichoi just made me think of something I could do if anyone is interested. I have Cat Stevens Teaser and the Firecat on LP, CD, and 71/2ips 4 track tapes. We could select a couple of cuts and I could record all 3 formats to a Sony CD recorder that... | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? Please keep us informed of your findings. I would love to know what you think of the Otari decks vs. the Studers and what you think of tape vice LP. I find all of this highly exciting.Mark | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? Mike-Wow!! You own some awesome decks! If your Technics RS-1500 deck is stock, which deck are you using to play back the tape project tapes? The technics doesn't have the IEC playback equalization that was used to make the tape projects's tapes. P... | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? Jsman, which tape deck do you like the best? How does the Revox sound compared to the Otari? | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? Casey-You bring up an interesting point. One of the things that tape also has going it for in comparison to LPs is that LPs can't sustain the same level of bass and treble information across the entire disc. You start off with a 12" diameter at 33... | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? Kmulkey-we have all been through the "wish I never got rid of that piece of gear" remorse. And you did have some really good decks. The Akai GX-747 is a really cool looking deck and brings big bucks on Ebay. Lots of people love the Pioneer RT-909 ... | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? Les-I was reading your mind! You need to be very careful when buying a reel to reel. Any ad that states the seller has no way to test it can be translated to say that the deck is broken. In fact, unless the deck is coming from someone who has just... |
