| For 35 years, I'm an Audiophile wanna be I agree with j_stereo, service what you have. It will cost less and it's excellent gear. You amp should drive the Maggies just fine. | |
| A New Reel to Reel Tape Deck? Dhl93449,I was thinking that about my machines after I replied to you. A check of the schemeatics yesterday confirmed you're correct. My machines don't have any IC opamps.You make a valid point with regard to recording studios however. There are ... | |
| Dolby NR encoding - did it ever work If anyone ever experienced the dynamics of their recordings being compromised while using Dolby B, C or S, then your machine was not calibrated for the tape you were using. Once calibrated and proper recording levels set Dolby would have no ill ef... | |
| Reel to Reel uses - Cerrot,Is that from the abc records japan? The US company was purchased by MCA in 1979. I would be interested in some abc titles.Norman | |
| Epi/Epicure M1000 vs. Duntech Sovereign Back in the ealry 80's a very goof friend of mine rann two Phase Linear D-500's into the M-1000. His were from 74 or 75 and had the bi-amp option. Earlier models didnt have this but it is an easy retrofit. Any way, at well over 500 watts per cha... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today I could live with a pair of EPI 350's. They were killer, and needed lots of power to cook. But boy could they cook.. | |
| McIntosh MA 6100 modifications I'm sure you've already taken care of this, but when my Mac gear needed servicing I just sent it back to Mac. You would be stunned at how reasonable their repair costs are, and when you get it back it will meet or exceed original factory specs. T... | |
| Reel to Reel uses - Sam,Yes, I use the KM184's into the RT-1050. I have also used them with the Crown 822. Finding venues here in the Chicago area is easy. Most will let you set and and record their performance, especially if you promise to make them a copy.On one... | |
| Reel to Reel uses - Sam,Thanks for the link to Gordon Audio. Makes for good reading with my morning coffee. This is a much more elaborate way of recording live. I have a small Nakamichi microphone preamp, and a small CRATE 6 channel board was well which allows me ... | |
| A New Reel to Reel Tape Deck? hwsworkshop,A collection like that is worth getting a second machine and making safety copies. (I need to do the same)I love your final thought. RTR does deserve a comeback, and I believe that is what is happening. I remember not too long ago w... | |
| Reel to Reel uses - inna,I was thinking the same thought, but now I am wondering. When I last worked in a studio they were using two inch tape for 24 tracks at 30ips and then mixing the masters down to half track quater inch tape at 15ips. I would imagine that if y... | |
| A New Reel to Reel Tape Deck? Dhl93449,In a word... No. One must remember that no tape can sound 'better' than the machine it was created on (assuming all is functioning as it should). Any idea how many IC opamps were in the recording chain at the studio? Me neither, but we... | |
| A New Reel to Reel Tape Deck? french_fries,I agree! I see no reason why they can't spool up a 3600' of good back coated tape. If they did, it would take ONE reel at 15ips to get 45 min of music. I tape full LP's all the time on ONE reel in 1/2 track format. Using such a he... | |
| A New Reel to Reel Tape Deck? topoxforddoc,I wasn't aware of that. Very encouraging and that would make complete sense. Let's hope it will be something that is affordable. Fat chance on that last one.. huh?N. | |
| A New Reel to Reel Tape Deck? ct0517, larryi,I haven't had a problem with any reel to reel machine I've ever owned. I play them regularly and all of them are over 35 years of age. That and a quick Google check shows that here in the Chicago land area there are several qualit... |
