| Reel to reel , is it real the hype! fuzztone, I attended the same Lyn Stanley AXPONA 2018 seminar. Apparently the tape was made simultaneously with the DD, cut as a safety copy. From the Lyn Stanley web site:The original session used RGMI 468 1/4 inch tape at 30ips as the lacquers w... | |
| Reel to reel , is it real the hype! I got into R2R this year (fully refurbished 2T HS Revox B77 Mk2 and 2T HS PR99 Mk2). With the right, expensive, tape nothing beats a 15ips, 2T well-recorded R2R tape for SQ. Plain and simple, why do you think high end manufacturers are now using R... | |

| Is There Any Reason To Buy A Reel-To-Reel Machine Nowadays?? Ever notice at HiFi/AV shows today, most high end manufacturers use R2R tape to demonstrate their equipment. Wonder why? All I can say is I just got back into R2R and purchased a fully refurbished Revox B77 MK2, HS 2T machine. First tape (15ips, N... | |
| Reel To Reel Connection Question I am a new adopter of RtR technology. My first pre-recorded tape is a second generation copy Lyn Stanley Live at Bernies, recorded at 15ips, 2T. I can honestly say, after being a HiFi enthusiast for over 50 years, hands down the best recording I h... | |
| Yamaha NS1000M tweeter angle. I used to own a pair of NS1000M speakers, owned them from new for 35 years and regret selling them. As far as I can remember the tweeters on my speakers sat perfectly flat. Your speakers have probably been repaired at some time and the replacement... | |

Arguably the best sounding power amp I have ever owned. The other item of HiFi equipment I regret selling were a pair of Yamaha NS1000M speakers I purch... | |
