I bought an M1 Laptop this weekend. My wife has already taken possession of it! Terrific laptop. Love that screen by the keyboard. That’s fantastic that it runs the Lumin app too!

I have Omega on all our Aurender’s including mine at home. On the N100H, the Alpha is what I would use.

What was your first high-end component ever?
Used? IMF speakers
New? Perraux amp and preamp
But truthfully, it was the 1970’s and everything is now a blur!

Esoteric XD Series
This will sound like a PC answer, but truly in between. If pressed, I would say closer to the K1X. In years past, the K-03 versions were quite close to the K-01 versions. With XD, that’s not the...

Re: How much quality is on a master tape?
Yup, two different approaches for recording. A820 is the real deal for recording which tape machines were designed for back then. Today, the focus is more playback for most.

Re: How much quality is on a master tape?
If you’re into audio by the pound, yes that would matter. The weight of the A820 comes from it’s stand, sheer size and other structures internally as you have mentioned. The A810 was designed...

How much quality is on a master tape?
Mike, you’re off. The 810 and 820 have the exact same playback mechanism. It’s all in the recording side the differences.
And for playback only, the 1500 Technics is excellent, especially... -

George, the hiss of tape is there with digital (from tapes) as well, but excessive hiss on R2R playback can come from many sources: bad caps, caps going bad, dirty tape heads, bad tape heads, etc.

Re: How much quality is on a master tape?
The A820 Vs A810 is almost identical, the only difference being in the recording side. If it’s playback only, it’s identical. Most 810’s can be had for $10-15k fully refurbished, wired with...

It all depends on whether you want Roon or not. The LinQ doesn’t do Roon, only HQ Player.
I frankly think the Aqua La Scala v2 is incredibly engaging and musical. The MA3 sounds smooth and... -

It’s highly unlikely anyone has a dynamic recording they listen to which wouldn’t work with tape. Also, it’s unlikely someone can hear 20khz, so who cares if you can record above that.
