| Reel to reel The most wonderful thing about this forum is "Freedom of speech"; anyone can state as "unequivocal fact", that the Sun rises in the West and sets in the East, and that's a good thing. However, there are those who know, and those who don't know; i... | |
| Reel to reel I am not making the claim but stating the fact, as I have already stated in my post, but first you must tell me at what speed you are referring to, what kind of tape, and whether or not the machine was 1/4 track or 1/2 track?"There is always a los... | |
| Reel to reel Uberwaltz, 15 IPS is reserved for special LP's only, I record at 7.5 most of the time; especially with brand new tape.When you record and playback on your machine, even if it's a little bit off, you will still get good results because your record ... | |
| Reel to reel Reel to reel is ultimate audio, this is unequivocal fact; just a few days ago, in order to prove this to myself, I decided to record one of my favorite Santana albums at 15 IPS. This is something I had never done because it shortens recorded time... | |
| Reel to reel The aim of every audiophile is to go where no audiophile has gone before; it's for certain that I've gone beyond anything I've heard before, but it wasn't cheap, then again, it never is. I'm speaking of recording from a well set up high end TT to... | |
| Talk but not walk? Let me correct that post; they are as neutral as the sound of an electronics signal with no speaker at all; if a mellow cello is fed to them, that's how they will sound. | |
| Talk but not walk? Hombre, before CD, I auditioned the ESS Heil, and heard things that I liked, as well as things others describe that I didn't like. That's when I decided to separate the good from the bad; now let us get to the present.First, I consulted with a cr... | |
| Talk but not walk? I'm an electronics technician with a First Class electronics license, and I've learned a lot from audiophiles who don't even know Ohms law.The science of electronics is quite applicable in "Mid-Fi", but it gets hazy in HEA where audiophile ears an... | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? I can see why they are naming DAC's R2R, because that's the only way you can get CD's to sound like LP's; that's by recording them and playing back on a good 2 track; in reality, you have transformed digital into analog, because there is nothing d... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. Hi-rez is dead for me because you can only get FLAC, and I prefer WAV; however, I am very much interested in DAC's and CD transports. | |
| Why are you into hi end audio? For the same reason I'm into breathing. | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." Ivan, I'm just thankful that you are one of the few around here that's looking at anything outside of our little "ballywick". So many on Agon seem to live in some kind of insulated bubble; maybe they're in an upper economic class that's unconcern... | |
| Double blind test- over a month- could this be a reliable test for any equipment? I think one should first determine whether they prefer tube or SS; which would of course be sighted, and then go from there.I would never go double blind because I'd want to know every detail about whatever it is I'm trying to decide on. | |
| Choosing the right cartridge.... While there is no doubt I would be in "nirvana" with the Koetsu, the best cartridge for any individual will depend on his musical preferences; analytical for rock, and a Koetsu for jazz and female vocalists are the first generalities that need to ... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." Audiophiles who pursue and enjoy technical excellence as inseparable with artistic excellence are on the decline. The current resurgence in interest in analog vinyl is, IMHO, a revolt against convenience but it is also an anomaly and will not surv... |
