  1. The ‘Analog Warmth’ of Vinyl Has Been Mostly Digital Since the ’80s, Says Sound Engineer | Headphonesty

    I'm not giving up on a pure analog signal path, but this confirms my worst fear:

    "The shift to digital processing in vinyl production began in 1979 when Ampex released their ADD-1 Digital Delay. This device, built specifically for vinyl cutting, soon became standard equipment in mastering studios across the globe."

    They cite one and only one at-time-of-writing holdout; there must be more!

  11. AUDIOPHILE MAN - HiFi REVIEW
    This is a V2.0 of my van den Hul Crimson Elite XGW cartridge review. The original had some B-roll issues so I did the decent thing and re-edited it. I also added some extra signage.

    Testing the van den Hul Crimson Elite XGW. 
Low mass, huge dynamic reach and startling midrange clarity.
 Set it up right and it sings.

  17. A silly way of spooling a new tape cassette (the spool is just laying on the table)

  19. This portable tape player is now powered by a 400mAh lipo cell that I salvaged from a single use vape pen. Yes, those *single* use vapes have a rechargeable battery inside. Anyway, this player can run continuously for about 2-3 hours on a single charge of this small cell

  21. Does your tape player play audio too fast or too slow? It can be the belt needing a replacement but most players will have a potentiometer on their electronics board that can be used to adjust the speed of the motor. Like i did here on this video :blob_owo:

  23. I just got these two beautiful tape players imported from Japanese flea market :blob_cat_aww: Both need belt replacements of course, however i begin to understand why panasonic players turned out to be the sturdiest. The designs are very compact and straightforward.

    Pictured inside is the rq-sx55 model, after receiving new belts. These were not perfect fit but at least i confirmed that it does still play audio! :blob_cat_melt_love:

  25. Okay this is rather embarrassing interior i must say. I was having issues with it the moment i bought it and decided to have a look inside. Label reads Sony TC-FX120. I ended up selling it, because i couldn't get it to work properly.

  30. If there's one band that rocks your socks off then it must be Veruca Salt. Found an old tape of Eight Arms To Hold You and Volcano Girls is on really loud now. What... an.... incredible... song. That reference to Seether, love it. They did it again on Ghost Notes.

    Volcano Girls has so much energy and Nina and Louise's harmonies, it just rocks.

  35. I checked the azimuth with the same 16kHz signal and the oscilloscope and the phases are rock solid with the fixed roller rather the ball bearing in the left tape guide. That is a clear win for the factory configuration. #RevoxB77 #AnalogAudio #MagneticRecording #ReelToReel #HiFi #Tape

  40. Hi to all, I updated the page about the #RevoxB77 mk II on my home site. I studyed the effect of the popular mod that consists in replacing the original fixed roller on the right tape guide with a ball bearing. The results seem marginally better with the original factory configuration, though.
