But you wouldn't be using 2A3 tubes if you didn't have golden ears!

For analogue with essentially no defects, get tape! A rich uncle or aunt who dotes upon you doesn't hurt either. :rolleyes: Larry

I think the picture with some of Saturn's moon circled indicates that this is a composite of three photos taken with three specific blue, green and red filters using the Wide Field Camera 3 (WCF3). ...

Peter, thanks. I haven't tried the Audio Alchemy amp with my Duos. I would have to get some longer speaker wire, since my Cary SETs are monoblocks sitting right next to each Duo. I actually bought...

Peter Madnick brought out a Class D amp for Audio Alchemy, which he took over to Elac under their brand name. My dealer had one of the last under the old Audio Alchemy label and I bought it when I...

Thanks. The safety masters have a heavy concentration of Miles Davis, almost all 1/2" tapes, and a fair number of John Coltrane. Here is a list of the Miles Davis tape titles - all are 1/2" safety...

Jane's "Over the Rainbow" CD is used by audiophile shops to test their equipment. That is how I heard it for the first time. Wonderful singer. Larry

Sounds like this is from Bruce Thigpen who (IIRC) designed the linear tracking tone arm (ET2) that some of us used in the '80's and '90's. They also had a big planar speaker back then, very...

I was asked by a vendor to help in his room at the California Audio Show this summer in the San Francisco area. The room featured Reel to Reel tape and I made up a couple of mix tapes to play. I...

From my perspective, I began listening to popular music (music that was not classical or jazz) in the '50's. So Perry Como, Eddie Fisher, Andy Williams, Patti Page, the Kingston Trio, and orchestras...
