Have sent it to you by PM

Jonathan Horwich at IPI has been making jazz recordings for decades. He has had access to number of 1/2 inch stereo masters for artists like Oscar Peterson, Clifford Jordan, Patricia Barber etc

The issue you have is that you only have one lineout i.e. the output to the power amp. A tape loop include an extra input and OUTPUT. The output is the record out on a tape loop.
If it’s just for...

Barry, the ESCo sapphire cantilever and paratrace takes the 103 to a totally different level - way better than any stock 103 version (standard or esoteric). It is astonishing - yes the upgrade costs...

Send it to ESCo for their sapphire cantilever and ultra low mass para trace. It totally transforms the 103.

Collected this today from Lee, as it was the first time I could get away. Lovely chat with Lee and I looked inside the paediatric air ambulance, which he provides medical cover for. Shame I didn't...

Col,
I am collecting it on the 28th, when Lee and I meet up at Bristol Airport. I'm looking forward to it.

Thank you to Ianlenco for a very easy purchase of his Tisbury Domino phono stage

Thanks Alan. BASF have always made good R2R tape. I Just don't use 7 inch reels - only 10.5 inch NABs. These are just sitting here when someone else could be using them.

12 x 7 inch reels of 1/4 inch BASF DP26LH double play tape on 7 inch reels - 2400 ft

32 mins at 15 IPS
64 mins at 7.5 IPS

These BASF tape do not appear to suffer from sticky shed syndrome,...

Another vote for ESCo. Speak to Wyndham on the phone. I've had a couple of 103 carts rebuilt with their sapphire cantilever and paratrace - takes this to a whole new level. You can also specify...

The 2.5 mV output from the Sumiko BPS high output is way too much for the MC input of your preamp, hence the limited volume range. That's not fixable with a switching box. The best suggestion would...

Glad you got it sorted Martin. This just emphasises the need to have the correct tools to set up a cartridge to perform at its best. The Feickert is a great protractor.

Really pleased to hear this. I can't find a website or any other info

Hi Stephen, I am indeed pleased with it :)

£1000 - new or used?

The seller on HF Wam Pani has a very long posting history on Audiogon. If it’s the same guy as on Agon, his kit is usually immaculate. I have corresponded with him several times about Platine...

Lovely Marco. I had a pair of these in the late 70s. These look in wonderful condition

That's going to be a serious collector's piece. I can't really see that being fired up in anger. My Dragon is a great cassette deck. But nearly £9k takes you very firmly into very serious R2R...

Thought I would resurrect this thread, as I'm listening to my Nak Dragon this evening.

Speak to Wyndham or Paul at ESCo on the phone. If the cantilever is bent, they can instal either a new white sapphire or born cantilever with a paratrace tip. I have had 2 x 103s (a standard 103 and...

Stuart,
These look reasonable.

Good luck...

Allen,

The multitrack 1970s/1980s session masters were usually on 2 inch tape at 30 IPS with 16 or 24 tracks. The original stereo mix down master was usually a 30 IPS 1/2 inch tape. Production or...

Stuart,

I buy pancakes, which come on NAB kerns or hubs. I buy up old Ampex reels and boxes and swap out the empty NAB hub and put in the new pancake and NAB hub. Takes 2-3 mins and needs 2...

Stuart,

The tape stock depends on whether I can fit it onto standard play tape (SM 900. SM911, SM468 - 2500 ft = 33 mins 20 secs) or whether I need a long play tape (LPR90, LPR35 - 3600 ft = 48...
