| 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... | |

| 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... | |

| Apogee Acoustics repair Apogee Divas are one of the best speakers I have ever heard, period. Worth talking to Rich Murry at TSW about restoring them. Full restored they are reputed to be among the best sounding speakers in the world! Ken Kessler of HiFi News certainly th... | |

| An audio rack that really does make a difference. Core Audio designs are esthetically and functionally superb. My TT and associated equipment sits on a 3 shelf plyKraft rack. They look incredible and are extremely well build. These racks are so sturdy you can jump up and down in front of it whils... | |
| My "audiophile" weakness(es)...ie: how the item looks, and you?. I agree entirely, the look of HiFi equipment in my living room is very important. This is why I assembled this system:https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7324#&gid=1&pid=1At the end of the day I have combined outstanding sound quality wit... | |
