| B&W 801: Matrix s2, Nautilus, 801D deep bass response Sort of. Stared out with N801 and after nearly 18 years (?) upgraded to N802D. Much to my surprise bass on the N802D was far superior to the N801. Tighter and deeper. Soundstage and dynamic range was also noticeably improved with the N802D. In con... | |
| Ozzy Restoration OTARI MX-5050BII2 I had a Revox HS 2T B77 MK2 and upgraded to a fully restored PR99 MK2, absolutely perfect in terms of build and SQ. Could not be happier. Purchased from TechTrader in Switzerland ( https://www.techtrader.ch/PR99MKII.htm ). Shipping from Europe was... | |
| Gale GT 2101 questions A Gale GT2101 TT is extremely rare. People on this site maybe able to help you: https://groups.google.com/g/gale-audio If I remember correctly, someone posted an article on the site about a GT2101 complete refurbishment. Just checked, there are ... | |
| Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10 Thanks ghdprentice and others, you are absolutely correct, the Aurender N10 is a big improvement over the Bluesound Node. Finally installed the N10 last night and the improvement in SQ is immediately very noticeable; clearer/sharper sound and very... | |

| Loading Files On An Aurender N10 Thanks lalitk, however, the file does not open. | |
| McIntosh preamps I use a MC312 with a C52 preamp, the combination works perfectly for me. I am sure the MC352/C52 combined action would also work very well. Besides, it's McIntosh gear that sounds and looks spectacular IMHO. | |
| Reel to Reel Machine for 15 ips playback R2R versus vinyl, no comparison in my opinion. I have a very good vinyl setup; Michell Engineering GyroDec, SME IV and Clearaudio Maestro V2 Ebony. At the end of the day, a good 15ips tape on the Revox PR99 MKII sounds noticeably better, often, ju... | |
| Reel to Reel Machine for 15 ips playback I purchased a completely refurbished/rebuilt Revox PR99 MK2 from this company 2 years ago: https://www.techtrader.ch Cost and shipping to the USA was very reasonable for a R2R tape deck this good that looks and performs like new. SQ is the very b... | |
| Quality step-down converter for Sugden A21SE 220V to 110V I have moved to Europe, from the USA, twice. Simply bought myself a 2 kW voltage converter/power stabilizer. Worked perfectly for me. See my previous post on this subject. If your equipment has a switchable input and you can set it to 240V, that ... | |
| The best sounding live recording video you've heard... Finally; Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks band playing Midnight Up In Harlem from the 2010 Crossroads Concert. About as good as it gets IMHO: | |
| The best sounding live recording video you've heard... In tribute to the late, great, Jeff Beck, this is amazing: | |
| The best sounding live recording video you've heard... School Of Rock, Middle Of The Road. Extraordinary playing by a bunch of very young musicians and a great song. To fully appreciate just how good the playing and video is, make sure you stream it to a good HT system. | |
| How long does it take a decent quality speaker to "wear out"? Purchased a pair of Yamaha NS1000M speakers in 1980 and foolishly sold then 34 years latter. Still looked and played perfectly. Never had a issue with them during that time. |
