| Tube stereo sounds -smaller- after being on Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I only thought about the line voltage being an issue when I wrote the above post. The amp came with a Chinese made voltage regulator that doesn’t seem to be adjustable and shows 217 volt output on the led screen.... | |
| Why cuts into vinyl covers? I can imagine your getting confused here as there is some misinformation. A cut out is not a store play copy but overstock that is sold in bulk at a low price to resell to stores. The mob pretty much controlled this business to the extent I worked... | |
| Power Conditioners I bought a Furman for work where I have a couple of 300b mono blocks, ampex preamp, Fairchild 412 turntable and omega speakers. It made such a difference I bought two more for my systems at home where it made no difference. | |
| What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have? Hobbies! I love hobbies. I’m into Hams, aged American and Spanish acorn fed hamsVintage European sports Cars, I have 1970 911s, 1974 BMW 2002turbo, and a 1963 Abarth Monomille. Records, mostly African and gospel these days but could be anything yo... | |
| Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents? I had stacked large Advents as well They were great. Replaced with B&W 802Fs, also great. | |
| Strange film on new records. You could try wood glue. There is a YouTube on cleaning records with wood glue and my friends in the collector vinyl world do use this method. If you have a record cleaning machine, there are a variety of solvents sold for different issues that yo... | |
| Matching Gear matter to you? I’m sure I’m in the minority here, but when I see matching gear, I feel the person is uncreative and basically uninteresting. To me that is the opposite of what this hobby is about. Which is experimentation. But of course that’s just me and all yo... | |
| Best place to sell an amp. Well I understand how tough you folks are. :() But the fact of the matter is I 1.prefer people pick up stuff as I hate boxing it up and shipping it, especially, shipping tube amps and turntables worries me. 2. I find it hard to be dismissive of fo... | |
| Best place to sell an amp. Thanks everyone for your comments. Maybe with stereo stuff it's different but I tried to sell some furniture on Craigslist and the there were hordes of scammers with all sorts of stores that must have been so busy because the same ones wrote me on... | |
| Original Blue Notes vs Reissues In the original vinyl era, stampers would make 15,000 copies of a record. These days they rarely make more then 3000. I run a record label that used to go through Warner’s, I remember being in the lowest floor of the building and seeing someone wo... | |
| looking for a tube preamps that doesn't sound like SS Is there such a thing as a 300b preamp? I thought that was only an amp tube? | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Ill try again. Sibilance is an issue in making records. Something I’ve been doing as a day job for the last 40 years. So though we try to ameliorate it in mastering, but like most things, it’s a trade off. It is more of a problem as the grooves ge... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance I keep trying to post here but my phone writings don’t seem to get through. Except this one:() | |
| Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ? Damn I need to edit that. Is there a way to do that? | |
| Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ? Yeah I think your missingbthe point here. And that’s because there is an assumption that distortion is bad. The fact is, it is the way you use it that makes a record or I should say the music in a record found the way it sounds. I was producing an... |
