| Re: Remembering the Old Days Found this while "wandering" around the site. There are many pieces of various equipment I wish I still had from my younger days ... but none more so than my Teac 10" deck I bought in 1971. I also bought a Dolby-B processor for it !! Yes, it was a brand new technology at the time, and the Dolby-B box was a separate processor about the size of a modern VCR that you could put in the signal path to squeeze even more S/N out of the already-very-good tapes. Wasn't long until Dolby was a couple of IC's ... and the better variants were invented ==> but the tapes I made on that deck (mostly dubs of LP's played on an AR turntable with a Shure V-15) were CLEAN ... and sounded great on my Klipschorns !! Had the deck until 1990 ... but boy do I wish I still did !! Sold the Klipschorns in the early 80's before we moved to Europe for a few years --> that's something else I wish I still had [although tops on my "never had them but sure wish I did" list would be a JBL Paragon speaker !!] |
