    Default Which button was it?

    Think he'd qualify as a "gear head"?

    I am pretty sure I spot 4 maybe 5 things I owned in the early 80's there :)

    Looks like a garage sale in a bedroom.

    Man , I remember when reel to reel was the **** and cassettes were for rookies :p

    R2R is still the sh!t, done right. Talk about tedious, makes vinyl look easy.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    No doubt.....I want to love R2R but it's a lot more hassle than vinyl plus the availability of tapes is a real issue. Listening to Ken's R2R and PF '05 is still one of my audio high water marks.

    I ALWAYS use an ass-gasket. Never hover because of splash down and back splatter. I also float landing pad made from TP for a soft landing to avoid the above. One can never be too cautious when dealing with the general public. - RonP

    I think that is all Pioneer stuff.

    Troy, the big RT-909 R2R you see in the photo is a great player. I have a RT-707 which is comparable in sound playback but cannot play 10" reels. He also has a RT-707 lower on that same rack.

    I also have a Teac X-2000 which is my baby. What kind of player did Ken have at PF?

    Carl, it was a Stellavox. Sounded great too.



    That pic......a wall of mediocre sound, IMO.

    This reminds me of something a phone system tech at my office said yesterday-- I couldn't help myself and started ROTFL
