| Reel to Reel Tape After all is said and done, the "quality" of the sound of an LP that has been recorded on my 2 track reel, when played back, is better, and this even goes for CD's.This "high end" thing is not about frequency extremes that are inaudible; it's abou... | |
| Reel to Reel Tape The commonly stated range of human hearing is 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Under ideal laboratory conditions, humans can hear sound as low as 12 Hz and as high as 28 kHz, though the threshold increases sharply at 15 kHz in adults, corresponding to the last au... | |
| Reel to Reel Tape Thanks for that "heads up" John; I am out of everything, and I was just wondering where to re-supply.I enjoy happy spinning daily, and now, thanks to you, I'll get supplies and take care of overdue maintenance. | |
| Reel to Reel Tape "Logic ain't worth a squat in high end audio"; and flawed logic ain't even worth that.In regard to recording: my TT and reel are in the basement on a concrete floor; records are recorded to reel, (2 track 7 1/2, 15 is for live) and this is tran... | |
| Best MM? Chakster, the cartridges on jukeboxes were quite visible, and that brush on the end of the Pickering cartridge was unforgettable.The jukeboxes I'm talking about were in sophisticated lounges that also featured live entertainment. The same profess... | |
| Best MM? Ckakster, jukeboxes in the city were the only high end; maybe you're thinking of jukeboxes in "podunk". Gangsters fought wars over whose jukebox would be where.I would not have fed those jukeboxes with quarters for jive time music; they were comp... | |
| 2 track or 4 track reel to reel deck? https://www.google.com/search?q=size+of+tape+recording+heads&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&... This should straighten you out. | |
| Best MM? Chakster, I was thinking about this cartridge, but it's not MM; https://www.needledoctor.com/Koetsu-Coralstone-Platinum-Phono-CartridgeTo be honest, I'm quite satisfied with the Grado; it reproduces nuances quite well. People who didn't cho... | |
| Reel to Reel Tape Raul, in one word it's "bigger"; the signal is bigger on playback because the 2 track tape heads are bigger, that translates to "apparent" larger speakers, and more powerful and more forceful power amp. The music has not been altered in any way s... | |

| Best MM? Raul, the question I asked was a very difficult one to answer; it involved different characteristics of the same high quality cartridges.For example: let's compare cartridges rated "B" by "Stereophile"; we already know they're good cartridges, we'... | |
| Reel to Reel Tape What are your sources for blank tape? | |
| Best MM? Raul, I've got a question for you; it's not that I doubt the validity of your evaluation of cartridges, but I wonder what music you use to evaluate.For example; what differences would you find when evaluating this music with different cartridges; ... | |
| Best MM? Let us put things in their proper perspective; this stuff was a lot cheaper in 1960, and it was what the average person played music on; that's why jukeboxes pulled in so many quarters. https://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?... |
