Hello,

What are the differences between metalised polyproprolene and metalised ployester capacitors?

I would like to use one type for low frequency roll off but can't decide whih is better.

Anyone know?

hello, i'm on a limited budget here, and i was wondering what mic(s) you would suggest for the home recording of vocals, acoustic & electric guitar, keyboard, and tambourines/shakers. i play mostly variations of rock. any suggestions are welcome. i had my eye on the behringer b-5, but i really don'...

It depends on which stereo mix you are talking about.

The first stereo remix is not a favorite of mine of one reason.

On WOULDN'T IT BE NICE Brian Wilson's vocals replaces Mike Love's.

Do a comparison of the two on the CD that contains both mono and stereo mixes.

Berlant (sp) ? was a nice pro recorder in the early 60's. You could get them mono, or 2 track. Todays price's ??? Here's an Ampex on ebay that go's off in about five hours and it's at $99. opening bid. and no bid's. Nice unit ! shipping put's you in it at or under $200. Good work horse and good sou...

I wood venture to guess, J.C. Penny's run of the mill everyday consumer stuff of the time. Old Ampex ect. are so inexpencive now, you should stick with the pro unit's. Although it might be good for dectoration ? IMHO Can you recommend a good, older pro unit from the 1950s-early 1960s era? How much ...

Hello, There are many different, well known brands of Reel to Reel recorders. Some of the classics are Ampex and Struder. However, going back earlier than those is the Pentron brand. I am now noticing a few late 1950s - early 1960s batchlor pad "Hi-Fi" era Pentrons on eBay and recently got a nice on...

I just took some photos of the organ and put them in this file

http://home.sprynet.com/~dnemeth01/organ/

Thanks for the advise. The organ is a Hammond J-112. Just a home, living room practice organ. Apparently nothing special. Someone at the other boards suggested the janitor enzymes method. Since I already have a bottle I will try that. This thing is really too heavy. I am going to bust it apart and m...

I tried to find a forum at this site that was more approprite but this was the best I could find. I ask at tapeop.com because I am sure that a few here have found audio equipment in a simular condition. By a stroke of luck while driving around late last night I saw at the curb waiting for the garbag...

Hello, I have a 500 foot reel of Belden Mini Star Quad Cable that I would like to part with. Price I paid on this 500ft reel was/is $450 = $.90 per foot. I am offering this remaining reel at $.80 per foot at various lengths. Never used and in mint condition. I will cut it in the following lengths fo...

Thanks for the replies. I'll post pictures later on. The machine is from about 1959 or 1960. I figure that out since the contents of the reels do not predate those years. There is no info on this unit on the web nor is it being sold in eBay auctions. It is a stereo unit but the hitch is if you want ...

hi there all, I hope this is in the correct forum. I am in need of a nice resource(s) for reel to reel mechanisms, tape (.25 inch, up to 2 inch, it doesnt matter really) , inner-workings of said machines. Any books or websites that people know of that will provide me with a great deal of info to si...
