| A New Reel to Reel Tape Deck? Inna,Coming from ReVox I am certain it will be of 'audiophile' quality. Yes, they're are many classic alternatives, as is true with any piece of gear we may be looking for. I beleive that this move by ReVox will inspire other 'classic' open reel ... | |
| A New Reel to Reel Tape Deck? It's hard to imagine that it will be manufactured in either Germany or Switzerland at such a low entry price. Maybe it will be built in China with a ReVox label? | |

| Vintage Crown D 150A II Amp -- How good was it? My memory of Crown gear is very different from what is posted here. The DC300A was an incredibly good sounding amp. Clean, transparent excellent high end. Yes it was used in pro applications but also in critical ones. I worked for years in record... | |
| Half speed records, are they any better ? atmasphere,Thank you for the education. Makes total sense and explains why the old Londons and Deccas sound so good. I am wondering though, why is it that some half speed masters don't sound as good as their normal speed 1st pressing counter par... | |
| How to clean vinyl records Steve, I have thousands of Lp's, all of them are nearly dead silent. I clean them using an Audio Technica brush and a record solution formula that I make myself. I got it from the December 1996 Stereophile magazine. If you or anyone else's want ... | |
| New Vinyl or Old Vinyl ? U.K. and German first pressings are amazing. I've heard that the Japan pressing is likewise stellar, but aren't they always?I am not a fan of remastering, especially if the original artist is not involved. Yes you hear different things but that i... | |
| Half speed records, are they any better ? I have a couple half speed masters that don't sound anywhere near as good as the original first pressing. George Benson's "Breezin' comes to mind as does Steely Dan's 'Aja'. I am probably not the best to offer advice as I only have maybe 25 titl... | |
| Cartridge Recommendation for Dual 1229 My main table is a Dual 1229 with a Grace 747 tonearm. The Dual stock tonearm is actually very good. I love my Nagaoka MP 11 Boron, Denon 103R, I have several Audio Technica/Signet's that are equally wonderful. And yes, Zavato nailed an excellen... | |
| is there a market? I live in Chicago, and I do get the chance to tape a few jazz trios on occasion, but no one who has a record deal will allow that anymore. I love your idea, and I'd be "all in" if one could make it work. Stereophile has made some pretty good ana... | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? I have never owned a record cleaning machine. That said I play records nearly every day, and I clean them with a Audio Technica record brush and a record cleaning solution that I got out of the December 1996 Stereophile magazine. Over half of my... | |
| Can you believe this? An old audio and Phase Linear guru friend of mine has one. He swears by it, and although I'm deep in the old idler drive camp I can't fault the sound which is spectacular. Gongrarts on rediscovering your turntable.Norman | |
| Hum from Empire 698 rwwear,Sounds like the cartridge is picking up a open ground loop from the motor. When the stylus is moved over the platter (i.e. in closer proximity to the motor) your getting hum. 60hz I would imagine. Try placing an additional rubber matt on ... | |
| Vinyl noob needs help with cartridge Try a tried and true classic. The Denon 103. It's under your budget, and every self respecting audio nut should own one. You'll probably do like the rest of us and keep it forever.. Also keep in mind that most of us own several cartridges. Fun... |
