    New source for Master Calibration tapes; ATR Service Inc.

    Way back when I think I convinced Doc B to put a 1Khz tone at the beginning of his Tape Project tapes. Believe they are on all of them - at what level tho? - never checked

    Stellavox SM8 Service by Jean Michel

    Arseny. Regarding "better sound between the 7/8: a few things. Stella changed heads over the course of production. Original 7's used Bogen PB and Record heads. Always used Wolke erase. Somewhere along the line they switched to Nortronics heads - first for PB and then record. Maybe a...

    Contenders for Most Musical and Best Two-Way Mini-Monitors of All Time?

    How about the Joseph Audio Pulsars. They'd be next for me should I fall out of love with my LS50's. And have heard some great sounding small Audio Note (UK)'s

    How about a forum for Audio in RV's?

    Campground hosts at a local NY state park for the summer. SO spend a lot of time in our 24' Class A. Forget stock system. Listen to a Cocktail Audio server/amp thru PSB Alpha P5's positioned above the cab. Had to make up a inverter to get 12v battery power up to the 24v needed for the...

    Analog Audio Design TP-1000

    Reading the recent responses; in the audio business, haven't we been led to believe that new is ALWAYS better. Well guess what!. I DO hope that some of the new efforts succeed. Was musing with U47 about Studer machines and which of them will be around in 10 or 20 years. We agree on our...

    Analog Audio Design TP-1000

    Yep guys, We've been riding a 15 year wave - has it crested - who knows? The TP-1000 suggests maybe not. And as long as my inner-tube (think waistline) continues to hold air, I'm still afloat and enjoying things immensely! Right Mike?

    Capital Audiofest 2023

    "specifically" dunno - let me try this. Normally, we'd (myself and an audio buddy) zip up to the top floor and make our way down "quickly" to hear "everything" first, try and remember what we liked (and/or take notes), then go back for an extended listen here and there. We started on the 8th...
