| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? Thanks for the suggestions atmasphere, oldhvymec, et al. The problem evidently rests in the pinch roller/capstan domain as a different tape was played with thew same result. Dirty tape path isn't the explanation....I've only used the deck 2 or 3 t... | |
| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? Good thing I didn't reference the Three Stooges, Miller Carbon. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk! | |
| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? You are correct stereo5 - it was Fury, not My Friend Flicka (both show were similar). | |
| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? I had forgotten about his role in that series, lewm8. He is the most likely culprit. | |
| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? Thanks for the responses, guys....historical and actual operational input is appreciated. I had to go back in time and think about the repair history on my A-4010SL deck.....for reasons more neurotic than fact-based, I had the heads replaced in th... | |

| What piece(s) of gear did you sell/give away that you would like to have back? Maybe these sales/gifts of favorite items led to good stereo karma in return?Anything occur afterwards that went in your favor which you didn't expect? | |
| What piece(s) of gear did you sell/give away that you would like to have back? I bet the introduction of CDs in the early 80s had some influence on your decision to sell the Precision Fidelity phonostage, roberjerman? That sounds like it was a very nice unit. $500 seems like a pittance these days, but it was big money in 1979. | |
| RIP - Aretha Franklin You guys are cruel and hilarious at the same time....Covid 19 fatigue must be the cause of this 'knives-out' humor. Some really funny comments here. Jimi, Jim, and Janis are spinning in their graves. | |
| Bent Slightly Out of Shape It took a month to get the cartridge installed in the headshell by a local tech known as Turtleman (not counting the 2-3 weeks it took me to decide to do it myself or farm that task out). I haven't even installed it yet because I'm already running... | |
| Bent Slightly Out of Shape Not really, and some people might not notice, and as another member suggested, it may have come from the factory that way. I am going to install the Grado and have the ADC evaluated by my tech. At worst, I'll have it to use as a back-up, assuming ... | |
| Bent Slightly Out of Shape Thanks for the responses....I'll have a tech scope it out and see how that goes. My days of installing cartridges are long-gone, but vinyl is still my first love. | |
| Offer / counter-offer? Audiogon rules I have been on both sides of this fence. I like dealing with experienced Audiogon sellers because their listings are almost always fairly priced. If you want the item and it appears to be a fair asking price, why insult the seller by asking to acc... | |
| Why Crazy Prices paid for Pioneer 100 JBL L100 AR1 AR3 AR3A What must be remembered is that for many of us, we first listened to music on portable or table-top AM radios, later on FM radios. Once you were able to hear music reproduced using a receiver and two speakers of whatever kind, you were hooked. I t... |
