In my early days of tube amp education, I realized how good the ~20W Heathkit W5Ms were driving a pair of Klipshorns. Most of the W5Ms came with replaced 6L6s but some of them came with original...

Myles - I use Manley when I run into odd EQ'ed tapes that require tweaking beyond the usual IEC and NAB when transferring to digital.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I have had pleasure of having most of commercially available tapehead preamps both solid state and tube types in my room temporarily or permanently. In addition, I have...

Wow!

I just saved tons of money without even switching to Geico.

Thanks Myles, I have the five of your highest recommended titles coming in 2 - 5 days with free shipping to booth.

Help me make a shopping list of your recommended titles if possible, Myles!

Same can be said about the tape repro heads and thus the advantage of implementing balanced head input for his tape head preamp.

It works well. Not sure about the sound (don't have the golden...

Nice collection!

I do have the ultrasonic LP cleaner that was an inspiration for KLaudio cleaner. I had planned to list it on ebay soon but if you are interested in adding to your collection,...

Well no one seems to have the SME template and I will have to educate myself in order to cut the arm board.

There can be only be one optimal position for the SME arm mounting base. I will use the...

It was my understanding that 12" Graham Engineering arm shares same arm board mounting dimensions as 12" SME arm (V?).

I am trying to experiment with a Nottingham 12" ANNA arm with custom made SME...

The design goals for KLaudio LP cleaner from the beginning were to clean the LPs without leaving substrates after cleaning and not to make contacts or remove any of the micro grooves leaving the LPs...

Myles, I could had earlier number but when talking to Queen, I thought I had enough pull to get the #99 and delayed delivery. The #99 and #100 went to someone else special I was told...

So, I see...

New music on tapes...this is good news.

Oh yes. I heard the same tape played on the Nagra during the last AXPONA in SF in Oct. The music via tape was very dynamic and real from much bigger Genesis speakers then.

This time, I am not...

Mark, Should have thought of that already...sorry. Will do so this evening.

Will do so when I get home this evening. I had upgraded my copy to JRiver 20 a while back but 19 should also still be on my laptop.

Mark,

I believe we got the Mytek about the same time. So mine should have same firmware version. I did have issues when I first tried the JR+Mytek but after configuring the output to ASIO, I...

Mark:

For Mytek Stereo 192 DSD, Double Dsd only works with native Dsd ASIO. Thus, you need to set JRiver accordingly.
