| Revox Introduces A New Reel-To-Reel Deck...$16k All I can say is; IMHO 15ips 2T tape can have the best SQ of any medium, albeit at a stupid price. For example, Lyn Stanley, London With A Twist, or Norah Jones, Come Away With Me, both these recording, and others, make people think they are liste... | |
| Here's a really, really great video on Richard Manuel (and oh yeah, The Band). I had no idea up until seeing/hearing the above videos how brilliant The Band was, now I do, thanks for posting. Quite simply, as good as rock music can be, definitely going to look at The Last Waltz again. | |

| Core Audio Designs ....The Man, The Myth...The Legend - Arnold Marr I agree entirely, Arnold is an absolute joy to work with and a true gentleman. He has built 2 racks and a custom TT shelf for me, The second rack is a custom double plyKraft 3L rack (2x3 shelves). Quality and functionality are beyond reproach. | |

| Upgrade From SME IV to V - Worth It Many thanks for everyone's input/advice. The general consensus of opinion is; keep the SME IV. Good advice, which I plan to take. The suggestion to replace my Clearaudio Maestro V2 Ebony MM cartridge with a Soundsmith Voice MI cartridge is interes... | |
