Voltron 24,722 Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 I inherited a Yamaha receiver with that exact tuner from my brother and used it at my college dorm and beyond.I may have had that tape deck, but I destroyed a lot of brain cells in that era (not so different now, I know). 3 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Knuckledragger 3,694 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 A guy on /r/audiophile said his father passed recently. This was his rig: Not too shabby a view, either. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ironbut 2,214 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 This guy has the same era/model Aries that I have. From this picture at least, he's done the same thing I have and discarded the extra pulley weight/flywheel on the motor and the record weight/clamp. I find the sound is more open and lively without a clamp. It's possible that the frequency graphs are a little flatter (fewer high mid spikes?) but my main speaker system is for pure pleasure and accuracy be damned. Plus, my Home Studio rig is the one that needs to be flat. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swt61 9,716 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Can't agree more Steve. I chased accuracy and a flat response for many years, only to get very close and realize that I did not enjoy the system much at all. Flavor is just fine if it's the right flavor. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Long Way Around 5 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 On 5/17/2020 at 9:19 PM, Torpedo said: The lovely cassette deck I mentioned above. TBH it wasn't as good sounding as the looks would suggest. Still I recorded a ton of vinyls into cassettes with that machine. I recently picked up its lower grade sibling, nicely restored, from a local dealer and fixer, to add a tape deck to my system. I did buy it more for its looks than its sound... but who can blame me for that? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
