Reel to Reel Tape Machines / Technics 1500 IR remote
« on: May 10, 2010, 11:36:02 AM »
Hi everyone,
Here the link and photos of  the remote control, in my case, for Technics 1500 (4 channels - Play, Stop, Rev and FF)
http://www.anykits.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=462

Everything works very well. The only set beck is the following: HT12D decoder chip powers up with all outputs in "0", another words all relays are "Up"  before the first command is sent from the remote. Not sure how Technics will react if FF, REV, Play and Stop and engaged simultaneously, probably Stop will be executed. Anyways to resolve I've wired relay the way that STOP has priority (see attached picture).
BTW, receiver board is small enough to install it inside 1500, that require taking IR sensor off-board and drilling a window  for it somewhere...
HTH,
Alex

Tape Tech / Eros repro
« on: July 21, 2009, 06:34:32 PM »
Hi everyone!
Eros repro is up and running now for a few hours.  First impression is very favorable, but obviously it's too early to report any specifics
regarding sound. 
Actual kit (phono version) is very well documented and easy to put together and few changes also nicely documented converts it to tape repro.
Thank you,
Alex

Mogami microphone cable makes great interconnect cable.  I know, I have owned a pair for many years and they sound great.  My 20 something year old pair is still doing duty as subwoofer interconnects in my ht system.

I'm in downtown Toronto, my neighbors are CN tower and about few hundreds HF transmitters. My biggest concern for 2mv signal is RF rejection - Mogami quad does the job very well.

As for me, I would much rather have someone explain to me and make me understand why it matters if I flip my cable around against the direction of the arrow pointing the direction of electron flow than have a root canal.  I have had root canals and I would much rather learn something than have a root canal any day.
Hi everyone,
In most cables shield is grounded on one side only - usually at the source.
BTW "phono cable, particularly tonearm wire, matters. it's logical that the tiny signal coming off a phono cartridge will be more affected by wire performance than a line level signal."  That's very questionable statement, much more important is the  internal impedance on the source, that is low for MC and relatively high for many tube line level devices.
Speaking of a playback head output,  I'm using Mogami microphone cable on the Technics 1506 to modified EAR 834P and it works well.
Thank you,
Alex
