Clearly, many of you still cherish your cassette decks, but what about <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reel-to-reel_audio_tape_recording" target="new">open- reel</A>? Do you own, or have you ever owned and used a reel-to-reel or open-reel tape deck?

* Warming periods have happened before - but NOT due to man-made changes
There are 3 mint shape but used Hammond 10Kva 120V/240V input and 120V/240V output transformers, with screen/shield/drain wire on fleabay right now.
These are excellent choices for taking your ENTIRE system to an ENTIRELY new level of quality.
For actual dedicated music freak audiophiles, only.
Works best in the USA and Canada, where we have single sided AC.
You don't see this much any more, some of us are getting wise and grabbing them fast.

Pull the string and I'll wink at you, I'm your puppet
I'll do funny things if you want me to, I'm your puppet
I'll be yours to have and to hold
Darling you've got full control of your puppet
Pull another string and I'll kiss your lips, I'm your puppet
Snap your finger and I'll turn you some flips, I'm your puppet
Your every wish is my command
All you gotta do is wiggle your little hand
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet
Yet again we see MF come full circle.
The last few years we have experienced the revolution of increased dynamics provided by really expensive high power amps. This has died a death due to the generally poor vibe about superchargers, so what to do next !! shame about all those people who layed out chunks of cash for amps that will now be worth like 25 cents on the dollar, if you dont believe it check out Audiogon.
Let's go full circle to low power class A !! of course the MuFi way of doing involves lots of metal so they can charge 10,000 pounds for a power amp !!
I had a wide, high back listening chair (where the back of the chair is the height of my head). A well respected audio engineer came over to my house to listen, and the first thing he said was that I needed a lower back chair so my ears had access to the full audio experience (side and back waves included). It actually sounds much better.
Just though I would pass on that little tip.
