Elcaset- worth a try

wrote: Doesn't mean what they're running to is "better"- this will all change soon, because there are now NINE coal-to-oil synthetic plants being built in the USA right now, that will be up and running in about a year, and will produce 3 billion barrels of oil per year. Just like the Germans did in WWII. We also have a million barrels a day coming from Alberta, Canada from the oil sand plants. When the syn plants start pumping it out, the supply will grow, price will fall, and people will want that that new Hemi V-8 Challenger. snip Fatal flaw in this: It takes mas much petroenergy to extract the oil from the tar sands and to get the synoil out of bituminous coal as the finished product provides. Net gain: zero. Try driving an electric car in the Rockies states, or back here in the hilly northeast- not going to fly- they cost 2X a gas car, with less power. Electric is a loser. snip Wrong again. The Prius has more power than many of its similarly sized competitors. The GM EV-1 had accelleration equivalent to a mid-sized V6, and it was a plug-in only. GM has really ****ed up on electric, because one of their divisions has had experience with electric traction drive since 1930...ElectroMotive. What experience and design accumen did GM get from EMD to guide their electric traction experiments? None. Duhhhhhhhh.... Publicly available images, Noodles. Sorry...doesn't wash. But yes, you DO look amazingly like Pauly Walnuts! I'm talking about what it does to your reputation, and how it appears to the average law enforcement officer. It goes far to show the nature of your character. snip And your thousands of posts since 2002 don't? Remember, all those hundreds of post you THINK you've deleted are still around...and all of them are on Googles' archives, whether you deleted them or not. Thank the "Patriot Act" for that! And yes, I still have your entire output on my hard drive...with backups...including all your psychotic outbursts, the posts of maps to my home, everything. Sort of like being stuck in Bumler, eh?? BML is a mighty bit better than Lancaster, CA. snip LMAO! Then why can I buy FOUR houses near you for the proceeds I'd get from selling mine here? Resale value means everything. snip Not when you "buy high, sell low" it doesn't. Not always. Past 30 IPS, speed DETRACTS from audio frequency response flatness in the bottom end. It's a function of head geometry versus tape speed. Well no kidding- because no one runs a reel past 30 IPS anyway. You'd need a reel of tape the size of a powerline reel. snip Stunod! 30 IPS was the studio mastering standard for many years and used either 10½ NAB reels or 16 pancakes. Why bother- run the line outs through a multi-band external EQ and adjust using a spectrum analyzer. It's not a matter of how to do it, it's who thought of the idea first. In this case, that's me. snip LMAO! People have been doing that for DECADES to transcribe pre-RIAA LPs and tapes recorded at different speeds. Some brilliant "new idea" you have there, Noodles! I like blue chip investments. Jealousy will get you nowhere.. In the course of this ONE POST, you've gone from sensible response to rabid ravings. Say it, don't spray it. snip More "projection" from a paranoid delusional. Don't expect to pay for Charlie III's education (or legal fees) from the profit you get off that Elcaset...it's not gonna happen. |

wrote: Yet in retrospect, the Elcaset has the obvious technical edge. Wider tape + higher speed = improved fidelity over the Philips. snip Speed isn't everything. Several other technical issues apply to go toward overall "fidelity," Noodles. The Philips cassettes always sounded like a POS to me- no matter what they were played on- the sound is blurred and they are high end response challenged. The high-end response on a Philips sounds faked. snip "Faked?" Like your phony "alignment" tapes? LMAO A dead format with more potential than either, is the 1950's RCA cassette, which the Philips was based on. The RCA machines could be adjusted to 1-7/8 or 3.75 IPS snip I remember those things...another dismal marketplace failure. The RCA cartridge was large, 7 _ inches by 5 inches by _-inch thick using _-inch tape at a selectable rate of 3.75 ips or 1 7/8 ips for total recording times of 30 or 60 minutes respectively. snip The RCA system was a collosal failure for several reasons, one being horrid reliability. |

Depends on what you're comparing it to- if you're using Philips cassette at 1-7/8, speed can only help. That's a pitiful low speed. 8's are better at 3.75 IPS, but 7.5 IPS is better yet. With regard to home audio using analog tape, speed is everything- the problem is one can only go so "fast", it's difficult to find a home recording machine with speeds over 15 IPS- most 1/4" 4-track decks will do 15 IPS with the capstan sleeve- but lack the built in EQ for that speed- Akai is one example "Faked?" Like your phony "alignment" tapes? LMAO that's not what the buyer feedback says- you know the old saying, the customer's always right. I remember those things...another dismal marketplace failure. since when is market success a measure of product capability ? lots of things were marketplace failures, that doesn't mean they were no good- the 426 Hemi was a market failure too, was installed in only about 6000 cars or so from the factory- yet the Hemi design dominates drag racing until today I don't place product loyalty based on what the average American consumer buys- these are the same people that bought the pet rock- that's a **** poor measure of product capability- McDonald's also sells a lot of hamburgers, but I would not recommend eating there... The RCA system was a collosal failure for several reasons, one being horrid reliability. and then it was improved into the Philips and Elcaset- the latter being the best version, from a technical standpoint- highest tape speed, widest track width |

It's obvious you know ugats around tape equalization. "Faked?" Like your phony "alignment" tapes? LMAO that's not what the buyer feedback says- you know the old saying, the customer's always right. snip No, they're not. Fraudsters like you fleece unknowing and unsuspecting buyers. I've got emails from several of them complaining about your fraud tapes, but most don't want to deal with it. I also know you've had to write MANY "refund checks" due to your fake tapes. I remember those things...another dismal marketplace failure. since when is market success a measure of product capability ? snip It's not. It's a measure of market success. No one in their right mind would buy a 426 hemi for a street car, unless they were into the car for racing. The 426 was a "pretige" leader for Chrysler...people would talk about how great they were, then go down and buy a slant 6 or 318 Dart.

People in the high end market already knew about the coming IEC standards change, Dolby "C" and even the CD-A...why go for better tape performance when other, more usable format changes were coming? It is correct, though...based on format alone, with tape speed and track width being the only factors, Elcaset was the highest fidelity "prepackaged" tape format ever sold. If it had shown up around 1965, they MAY have made some sales in the US, but the product simply showed up too late. |

Net gain: zero. wrong- it is costly, but with oil at $60, it's profitable and worth it- the reason they never did it before, was oil was at $10 a barrel when the idea was first developed- and not cost effective it is now- they're shipping a million barrels of that sweet stuff over to us daily from Canada, the canucks are our #1 oil importer, more than the Arabs Wrong again.

Then sell it and do it already- before that brush fire burns down your whole town- how long has that been burning now ? (laughter..) Not when you "buy high, sell low" it doesn't. you need a refresher course on Elcaset values- the package deal I got for $460 US included manual and remote try to duplicate that- click US Dollars left side menu http://www.audioscope.net/advanced_s...dc2fd8ad004234 the remote alone goes for $380 US Stunod! 30 IPS was the studio mastering standard for many years and used either 10½ NAB reels or 16 pancakes. well no kidding, in a STUDIO, and those 30 IPS machines were multitrack, so how wide is each track ? not too wide, with a 24 track or 32 track machine they don't use that in home consumer audio they are reintroducing 15 IPS two track, not 30 IPS- the latter uses too much tape- simply make it one direction stereo 2-track and use the wider tape at the 15 IPS speed http://www.analoglovers.com/page29.html LMAO! People have been doing that for DECADES to transcribe pre-RIAA LPs and tapes recorded at different speeds. Some brilliant "new idea" you have there, Noodles! then why are you recommending soldering caps in ? just set the curve with an EQ before it hits the tape at 7.5 IPS FYI, the Akai M8 is already EQ'd for 7.5 IPS More "projection" from a paranoid delusional. Don't expect to pay for Charlie III's education (or legal fees) from the profit you get off that Elcaset...it's not gonna happen. international market prices in Europe tell me you're wrong- again http://www.audioscope.net/advanced_s...dc2fd8ad004234 |

GM did the same thing with the Corvette and the Eldorado in the '50s....loss leaders to get "buzz" in the marketplace. Ford did it in late '54 with the original T-bird. Hemis eat Vettes and Caddys for lunch- the Hemi was an all-out racing motor, custom hand-built in a lab by Chrysler, then mass produced on a limited scale and shoehorned into street cars, to legalize it for racing- NASCAR and NHRA had a 500 unit per year minimum rule at the time- meaning at least 500 cars of each model had to be offered to the public, to make it legal for racing- that's the ONLY reason there was a 426 Street Hemi offered- Mopar had to sit out most of the 1965 season without the Hemi for that reason. Huge honking cassettes, no application outside the home , failure to have a companion car audio product, the rumors of the coming CD-A...all considered to kill Elcaset before it started. reel to reel has no app outside the home either- most audiophile formats don't- the real reason was, a sagging 1970's economy that led cheap f-ks to buy cassettes instead- most guys that listened to cassettes bummed cigarettes on a daily basis too... People in the high end market already knew about the coming IEC standards change, Dolby "C" and even the CD-A...why go for better tape performance when other, more usable format changes were coming? Dolby means less than nothing- the CD, SACD, and DVD-A formats don't even use it- how important can that be ? It is correct, though...based on format alone, with tape speed and track width being the only factors, Elcaset was the highest fidelity "prepackaged" tape format ever sold. If it had shown up around 1965, they MAY have made some sales in the US, but the product simply showed up too late considering that reel, 8-track, and cassette are all dead meat now anyway, what's it matter ? the smart money is on choosing the best tape format based on the build specs, not only the tech sheet- i.e. 8- track sounds better than cassette, Elcaset will sound better than either, the only improvement would be open reel at 7.5 IPS or faster get a load of that 15 IPS, 2-track setup- now that's a cooking with gas, take no prisoners tape format, if ever there was one ! |

I have three Ampex machines that use that format. The BEST mastering format is ½" 2 track, and has been since the '50s. Most "garbage" rock/pop albums, however, were mastered on ¼" tape. Groups and artists more concerned with fidelity (and whose masters have been rereleased on digital formats) had theirs done on ½". You really are a stunod. |
