| Television technology - where are we? A point to bear in mind during all of this “4K” insanity is that IPTV and streaming services like Netflix et al are restricted by the bottleneck that is your Internet connection. True uncompressed 4K uses 6gb/s of bandwidth for 2SI and square divi... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Chalkster, my 3 kids, ages 18, 20 and 23 despise rap as much as I do. They like many formats, but genuinely love Rock. | |
| Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement @geoffkait I’m familiar the the rock and bottle test, but not the water bowl tweak. | |

| Splitter -- One preamp to two amps. What to use? Captaindidactic, I’m running the same setup as Al and Mr Decibel mentioned, vertical bi-amp with a NAD 1600 feeding a pair of 2700 amplifiers. The 1600 and your 1700 can easily drive several amplifier input stages as they have significantly higher... | |

| Forever turntable under $2000 Ummm, Jeffreylee, you could be right, but I don’t think so. Assuming that “some people” don’t like superior quality, but that’s a stretch, because common idiots don’t really count as a people. Hel-loo! | |
| What brand was better than it is today? This is too easy. Everything analog was better in the good ‘ole days. | |

| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Don’t forget the Open Cassette introduced by TEAC. | |
| What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000? All that is required is quality Amphenol connectors on Belden Brilliance cable. That’s what they use in recording, mixing and mastering. Everywhere. |
