| 8-Tracks and Open-Reels: Who’s Got ‘Em and Whatcha Got? @undefined: Who is the "independent record label that releases only on open reel tape" ? | |
| 8-Tracks and Open-Reels: Who’s Got ‘Em and Whatcha Got? If you recorded your own cassettes then yes, better than 8 track--but IMO prerecorded 8T better than most prerecorded cassettes mainly b/c of tape speed. I have cassettes recorded on Nak cr-4A which is still in my system but the tapes haven't rea... | |
| 8-Tracks and Open-Reels: Who’s Got ‘Em and Whatcha Got? @oldhvymec: Ahh the good old days when we could drink and fix anything--ok, maybe not well but make it work. Up until about 10 years ago i kept a Realistic 8 track player in my system just because i had a bunch of 8 track tapes i liked--i disag... | |
| RMAF is no more What !!!! Is there a link to this announcement? I can believe cancelled for this year but why would they just dump the whole thing for the future? And who's in charge of determining that ?! | |
| Everybody’s Top 5 - Vinyl @tomic601 Our lists have 3 in common--would be a tough choice but i might substitute Van Cliburn and the Chicago Symphony doing Tchaikovsky/Rachmaninoff and I would sub Brothers in Arms for Eva although lacking a female vocalist is tough | |
| Will the placement of casters on speaker stands degrade the performance @johnspain--I faced the same problem with a pair of Rockports and used casters under thick mdf just to move--they locked as jjss49 said--when i found the location they sounded best i removed the mdf with casters and put symposium acoustics platfor... | |
| What phono preamp are you using? Probably can't go wrong with any of them--i have the Herron purchased last year and Keith gave me a deal--call him | |
| Looking for a new phono preamp Hopefully Keith gave you a deal--he did for me 8 months ago and i couldn't be happier with the Herron--replaced a MS Phonomena II although i didn't have the linear power supply so perhaps didn't give it enough credit--disagree that the Herron does... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? +1 @cal3713 Don't know if "angry" is the right word @mapman - "condescending, know-it-all could easily be substituted. | |
| Increasing bass on floor standing speakers You may find it useful to download a Real Time Analyzer (RTA) to your phone and check your room for bass modes and nulls--then you will see if your listening position is in a null. I use AudioTools but there are many others. You can also use a f... | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) @mathiasmingus--lots of recommendations to ponder--my 2 cents:1.agree with @chorus & others--start with room treatment for harsh highs/mids--easier to address and absolutely necessary before changing speakers2. Those Bryston amps are powerful ... | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! @aural_grat--or try to tune a guitar when fully under the influence ! But i've got news for you--on 2.5 mg you are still "stoned"--only just enough for the music, but not enough to be stupefied. As i'm sure you know being in the profession, toda... | |
| Take that to good will @roxy54 --robelvick was just re-doing the OP's post backwards. I'm with the group that wants to know what the point is ? | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! @sokogear--ain't that the truth--i leave mine in the system so the bars and pretty lights show up and dance, but it's not in the sound signal loop | |
| The survival of the fittest. @jpwarren58- "Tweak Evangelist" and "Count of Concrete" totally made my day--i'm still laughing.BTW Count of Concrete--You can't say it's all marketing and it's all word of mouth in the same sentence--it's one or the other. |
