Reel to Reel decks
I owned a reel to reel machine 35 years ago. I loved it. I kept it for about ten years. I never bought any pre-recorded tapes. The only tapes that I played on my machine were my LP's that I recorded to tape. When I went to record stores in the mid... 
pass lab owners: can i afford one?
When I first got my Pass amps, I left them on all the time. The bill promptly went through the roof. When not in use now, I promptly turn them off. Waaay too expensive to leave on all the time. 
Sunfire TGA 7400 versus Krell FPB 600

Best Blu-ray/DVD player for under $800?
.Get a pre-owned Marantz BD-8002. Killer Blu Ray player.The Blu Ray picture is outstanding and it has no equal upscaling standard def dvd's. It can be had for $700-$800 here on the 'Gon. I paid $2k for mine and I still think it was a steal..

What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE???

Todays new vinyl LP's better than LP's 40 yrs ago?
.My memory must be going. I just checked and it seems that I posted this same exact thread in 2006. I read the responses of that thread and it seems the responses are almost identical to the responses nearly four years later with people lining up ... 
Pass amps + Power Cords ??
The stock cords sounded just fine to me in my original setup. When I moved my system, the stock cords were not long enough for the new placement. I purchased longer power cords from Signal Cable and they sound great. 
Mods for ARC preamp / amp
.A few years back, someone posted the statement that "we're all as crazy as we can afford to be". I think it certainly applies when it comes to modding a $12k preamp. I certainly wouldn't do it....because I can't afford it. But who knows? If I had...
