Nice machine Biff, the PR99 is a good straight forward recorder - provided you can get and un-knackered one with the pots and meters. I miss mine rather.

Hi Lodgesound, wondered if you would...

Yes, the music in the video brings to mind Bill Evans during perhaps one of his more accessible periods, say his trio with Scott La Faro and Paul Motion.

Jazz has become a very broad church and...

Another bit of analogue art?

I suppose one of the most remarkable reel-to-reel analogue tape recorders ever made was the Ampex / Nagra...

A few more machines which I once used but can't bring myself to get rid:

How about these?

I am not familiar with your equipment so I might be writing complete drivel, I am also not sure what a 'passive TVC type preamplifier ' is, but starting from basics this would seem to be not that...

I don’t really understand avatars but am grateful for Barry’s interesting explanation. My own new effort perhaps symbolises me in so far as it is an old portable tape recorder. I am becoming old, I...

Andy, thanks for letting me know how to wire up an LED mate.:) But I still don’t like the blue ones, they just look rather naff IMHO.

Mark, just go and see the doc. It’s probably nothing at all but who knows? Go and book an appointment now.

Hi robin, sorry about your Nagra CD. It must be very disappointing and surprising considered who made it, normally Nagra stuff lasts for ever.

But you shouldn’t have any problems at all getting...

If one was to be cynical (perish the thought) one might conclude that historically the preamp’s main function was to have as many knobs and buttons as possible and to look impressive, it then would...

Well looking at the specs and reviews of your H2s David I am inclined to suggest that certain members get some of those!:eyebrows:

I am not in your area so can’t comment on current local FM...

As a newbie I have hesitated to join this discussion as I have fairly strong views about Monitor Golds that perhaps don’t exactly agree with those of some other members of the forum.:rolleyes: But...

I have used a Leak Stereo 20 for years and agree with Jon about the use of a passive as the amplifier is sensitive. Probably too sensitive to work with most preamps without some form of line...

Sorry if I have missed the boat on this one, but I mentioned this thread to an old friend with some Sansui kit a while back and he sent me a few pictures.

Respects to all here, and not wishing to state the obvious to the engineers present.

But when I was a boy there was something called ‘line level’ and this was generally considered to be 0.775 of...

Thank you for the kind words gentlemen.

Dave, interesting that you have also visited the Centre and your comments about the Stones tapes. I have Decca IVC tapes labeled ‘New Years day concert’, ...

Sorry Andre the only thing I remember of something digital with a Ferrograph label on it were digital jingle players at the BBC redundant stores. I think they used some sort of flash eprom, were...

During the mid 1970’s the Decca Recording Company designed and developed for its own use the first successful digital audio recording and post production system. Building on a history of genuine...

Pleased to have struck a chord Marco. I have an old web page about the system, give me a day or two to polish it up.:)

Just stepping in with something for the historians:

The tiny Sony DAT Walkman seemed pretty amazing when it came out in about 1990. I Still have mine and it still works, though the Nextel paint is...

Very neat and tidy and I like the crocodile in the jungle effect!

At work long ago I had an Apple IIe, and used Visidex and Appleworks when they were new(!). It was a good reliable machine and it saved my firm a lot of money. So having become used in the very early...

That's what we used to use.

It reminds me of a Leica Standard, no viewfinder then?:):):):)
