Heard nothing but great things about that Doshi. Do you use it just for the phono section or as an all around preamp?

Re: Myles B. Astor
Not looking to get into a debate but it's not so cut and dry, very debatable like anything else in audio - you can't just plop down any tape machine and install any tape and what is the BEST analog anyways?
List of those BEST analogs would be a starting point
Would need to do direct comparisons
Really well recorded tapes are limited, choice of music very limited and not cheap.
Personally I don't like the whole tape process which is involved and personally feel it takes away that connection.

Re: Myles B. Astor
No, but neither can you for analog tts either. But a stock A80 will or an ATR-102 will best tts. After all, how many of your cherished records were done on these machines or an Ampex 350/351?

Connection? I don't get that comment at all. Connection is when that reel is spinning and Benny Carter, Bill Evans, Ben Webster, etc. are literally in the room with you. Or you begin to understand everything the artists and engineers intended on Yes Fragile or Tubular Bells. Now those are trips without ant artificial enhancersMyles B.

Re: Myles B. Astor
Hi Myles, some great responses
When I mentioned about the tape process and loosing the connection "not actually listening" so not to be confused.
It's the whole process involved
The typical process to listen to music on tape is to have the spare reel already in place, now you install the reel to be played. One must feed it into the heads and then turn on slightly and stop. Clink clunk spinning, now you feed into that spare reel and finally turn on looking to ensure all is well.
Get back to your favorite listening spot and listen, sorry but I have already lost interest and that intimacy of engagement is gone.
Machines aren't dead silent either, I can hear such specially when on a quiet passage which again for me personally distracts my attention, worse than the occasional record noise.
Now it's done, the reel spinning around and the loose tape is hitting and making noise. This alone just gets me out of the relaxed mood. Now you have to reverse the whole process and get the tape back onto the original reel.
Personally I get loss in not enjoying the actual music where as on my table, I just pull out a record of choice and get to listen without dealing with all that other stuff mentioned. I'm totally relaxed, my new table is so quit I can compare to digital when referring to background noise including pops and ticks - it's quiet

Re: Myles B. Astor
Hi Myles, I saw a pic of the AF-1 with Touraj Vertere arm. Were you present?
Would love to hear some comparisons using different arms comparing to Grahams new Elite @ $14k, the Vertere @ $35,000 is some serious coin.
Sonic differences being the most important

Re: Myles B. Astor
Did I miss that or is it just because the attention has been on this cost no object one?
Yes I agree in general designers are always learning along the way and don't always get to apply such to their current project they are working on because they are trying to finalize and get such into actual production so trickles down to the next.
For obvious reasons I have a personal interest to learn from other AF-1 owners, look forward to what others think when comparing the Graham Elite arm to what they are already using. I would assume the Elites should be shipping soon and getting into awaiting hands, will be interesting.
