Guest matty g Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Those Ampex machines are darn near bullet-proof. I had an AG-350 that took a tremendous amount of abuse and never gave up. Finaly sold/traded for a newer Teac 6300. They are now my favorite tape machines. With a great playback system (built around AR3a's) there's just nothing that sounds as good as a reel to reel machine (provided it's used at 7.5 IPS or higher). Just my opinion, but I'd rather listen to open reel or properly mastered vinyl than most digital sources - especially with accoustic suspension loudspeakers of the 3a's caliber. I still record vinyl on to reels so as not to wear the records out....sometimes burn 'em onto a cd, for the car.Hope your midrange issues work out to your liking - 3a's are worth the trouble!Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexicomike Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Roy has already sent me a replacement so it won't be long until the PROPER midrange is in the speaker. and I have to admit than John O has convinced me to buy some Caps...And that Ampex will soon be in the system. Now I suppose I should find an AR amp somewhere. I had one in 70-71 but it failed twice though it was replaced by AR at no charge. But it's the one AR product from that era that I have no liking for. I gave it away within a year of buying it. So the CJ preamp and Moscode 600 will continue in their role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
