    Help! Revox or Teac R2R?

    Revox gets my vote. When I compare the sound quality to the Teac, Akai, Technics, Tandberg, Fostex - IMO, the Revox is the better performer. I do agree that a Revox is extremely plain and boring as far as the looks department but I will take build and sound quality over looks. Not meaning to...

    Anyone else listen to albums ?

    My system is strictly analog, no digital source of any kind. In addition, there are quite a number of our members (Houston Audio Society) that listen to vinyl on a regular basis. Our October meeting will be soley on vinyl. IMO, I think you will find those that really appreciate music, will...

    What TT's do you folks have

    I added another one right before the weekend. One of the members in our audio club telephoned me and stated that if I did not take it, off to the garbage would be its final destination. I could not let that happen. I do not know the history of this one and it will be a challenge as it has...

    Speakers you will NEVER sell.

    After trying quite a number of mainstream speakers to run with my tube amplifiers I contacted Jim Salk of Salk Signature Sound and had him build a pair of speakers to match my tube amplifiers. What I have learned from this experience is that manufacturers such as Jim pay attention to what you...

    How are rising fuel prices affecting you?

    I take my motorcycle to work on any day that I can. I know the prices are high when it takes the majority of a $20.00 bill to fill the tank. We are just like everyone else as the gas bill eats into the budget of other items. The Kroger grocery store has a credit card where when you purchase...

    Luxman M-7 (just something about a real wood cover w/a piano finish) Carver Silver Nine t's (much better bass control than the Seven t's) Older Jeff Rowland's (Model 7's or Model 9's)

    Speakers you will NEVER sell.

    I purchased a pair of Jim Salk's HE Pharos and can never see letting them go. The workmanship and their ability to disappear and just let the music come through is absolutely stunning. Jim is an excellent person to work with and IMO he manufactures some of the best speakers in the...

    Any Steppenwolf fans here?

    Monster still a favorite. Also the one titled "The Second" with Faster Than The Speed of Light, Tighten Up Ypur Wig, Don't Step On The Grass Sam. Off of the one titled "Steppenwolf" side "B" had "The Pusher". Still are really good songs.

    How's the Weather?

    Rain and more rain. When there is no rain, then there are the mosquitoes and they are very plentiful. Fortunately with the rain we will only be in the 80's.

    Yamaha vs Carver. Opinions?

    IMO, they are both excellent manufacturers. I would be hard pressed to give up any of my Carver or Yamaha gear. As to a choice between the two, I would probably lean toward the Carver only because they also offered the tube gear such as the C-19 pre-amp and the really nice 7t mono block...

    Is Ricky Williams the Dumbest Person on the Planet??

    What a waste. Not only that, but to let your team down like that. Like winning the lottery and then seeing how fast you can flush all the money down the toilet. His ability is a gift that he is just throwing away. I always tell myself that if I had that chance, I would not screw it up.

    Who Wants 252 Cassette Decks?

    Even if he is utilizing the listing to show off his collection, I for one, am glad he did it. I remember seeing quite a number of those machines brand new on the shelves and wishing that I could purchase each and every one of them. Brought back some really good memories and more power to...

    Who Wants 252 Cassette Decks?

    In reading his feedback, he gave a 25% refund to one buyer that was not completely satisfied with the purchase. You will not see that very often!

    Who Wants 252 Cassette Decks?

    Well, you guys are probably right that he is running the auctions to attract attention to his collection, but that does not take away from the fact that he does have an awfully nice collection. Keeping the greater number of those in proper working order and in nice condition takes a great deal...
