| Furutech Silver Arrows Phono Cable I own the Silver Arrows, used between an Aesthetix Rhea and a much-modified Lenco. At the time I installed the Furutechs, I thought I heard a great improvement between them and the Cardas ICs I had been using. A lot of that was "expectation bia... | |
| Clear Day XLR I couldn't agree more. | |
| Otari or Technics Reel-to-Reel ? Good thinking, Inna. Except that those Last tapeproducts are, to me, ungodly expensive. I have both and reserve them for stuff like fixing squealing tapes. Which is not to say they don't work.Incidentally, in my Otari comments I should have noted ... | |
| Otari or Technics Reel-to-Reel ? "Demagnetize the heads after recording each tape." Whoa, there. If anything is gonna discourage a newbie, that's it. (I won't get into the fluorescent light thing.) I'm well aware that recording with magnetized heads is not a good thing, but good ... | |
| Otari or Technics Reel-to-Reel ? There are a total of 8,000-10,000 pre-recorded tapes offered every day on auction or buy-it-now basis on eBay. Prices are all over the map and most of the tapes are estate-sale purchases, offered by sellers who have no decks on which to play them.... | |
| Otari or Technics Reel-to-Reel ? Cleeds, the Otari can indeed "do both." There's a switch atop the headstack that makes it real easy to select 2-track or 4-track playback. As far as 4-track recording is concerned, it's not quite as simple, although there's a headstack designed fo... | |
| Nakamichi CR 7 cassette deck problems There's a Yahoo reel-to-reel tape site that's well worth joining. They frequently deal with questions like this. Sorry I don't have a link. | |
| Otari or Technics Reel-to-Reel ? I've never owned a Technics, but I do think the Otari is a better bet. I have the Otari (model MX5050 BII-2) that graced many a radio station and small studio. That was the target market, while the Technics was mainly for home use. The Otari is a ... | |
| Recommed a medium sized monitors that can go loud Yes on the De Capos. I don't own them but a good friend does. | |
| Theres a firesale of the Modwrights oppo 105 units I own a ModWright/Oppo 105 and have nothing but praise for how it sounds and for the folks at ModWright. The one issue I had turned out to be an Oppo (not ModWright) problem requiring a new front panel (the original panel's touch-buttons would not... | |
| Does anyone run 2 or more turntables... That's why the Aesthetix Rhea phonostage has 3 inputs (not the least of its charms). I have two arms (one dedicated to mono) on my replinthed Lenco and use a separate Empire 298 turntable for 78s. Yes, I know, the Lenco can play 78s too (just as t... | |
| Any Love for the Pioneer PLX-1000 Yet? "Biggest falsehood ever in audio"? Please :-) | |
| Audio Eden & Lack of Response - Anyone Else? I've never understood why dealing with Canada is such a challenge. I've had fast, no-issue transactions with sellers in China, Hong Kong, Eastern Europe, the UK and others but a simple Canadian deal is invariably fraught with one kind of dumb prob... | |
| oppo 105d straightup Gotta comment on Cdrc's blast at the ModWright modifications. I know the OP doesn't want to modify the 105 and that's fine. But the Modwright tubed output and separate tubed power supply takes this good machine to a different and much better sound... | |
