    Where to from here?

    I would suggest you investigate valve amplification with horn loaded speakers, I am not sure if it is due to cashflow or to the equipment I have now, but I have not developed the urge to upgrade again :) (Oh yes, and a turntable won't hurt)

    Some Advice/Thoughts Please

    So it looks like the Denon is a network streamer and preamp in one. You can run RCA straight from the Denon to the power amp. The Emotiva appear to be a DAC/Preamp only and thus need a transport to feed it. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with bypassing the Denon preamp and feeding the...

    Repair Quad Electrostatic Loudspeakers

    Hi Percy I had two pairs and after careful consideration of my options, sold them. They are lovely, but only suitable for specific genres and almost impossible to maintain economically in South Africa. Good luck with them!

    Head demagnetising in Cassette Decks

    My understanding is that the BIAS current, when recording, will effectively demagnetize the head (in case of 2 head decks). This thread seem to suggest the same: https://www.tapeheads.net/threads/duration-of-head-demagnetizing.89661/ Obviously all the metal parts should be demagnetized if it...

    Neil Young Homegrown

    Morining. I have been to their shop and have ordered online a number of times. As far as I recall, they have been around since 1988 or something like that. Great service.

    Half speed mastering, a marketing ploy ?

    I have a number of Half Speed Masters and I cant say that any of them sound poor. You can get normal pressings that sound just as good or even better than a Half Speed Master, but as a rule, more effort go into the production of a Half Speed Master and it is normally a good predictor for...

    Milty Zero Stat

    Wet cleaning also remove static from LP's. I have used a VPI 16.5 for about 20 years now and any LP cleaned is cured permanently. I have not looked into it, but it could have something to do with the surfactant in cleaning solutions. I have used homegrown solutions, Tergitol and Record...

    Mixed by Erry

    New release on Netfilx is a great for Tape Heads! It is about three brothers building an empire out of producing and selling bootleg mixtapes in 1980's Italy!
