In Reply to: RE: My vintage system is moving up ... posted by reelsmith. on January 17, 2015 at 16:16:16
would those ADS sound even better if moved forward to the front edge of the table? I'm curious how much affect you're having from reflections off that surface area?
Of course as an office system you may not even be listening from a "sweet spot" so it may not matter. And it looks better as is.

Exactly.
The picture was taken from the listening position, so the system is over my left shoulder when I'm on the computer. I've got the balance favoring the left channel.
At some point I will get a comfy seat for the sweet spot and will move the speakers forward when sitting there.
For now its just fun to have such wonderful music in the room. Listening to mix tapes always appealed to me... because I get to be the DJ.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Back in the day when I went through multiple cassette players I never found prerecorded tapes that sounded as good as those I made, I suppose because of high-speed duping.
But not long ago I visited a friend who is much more into music than equipment and he played a couple of jazz cassettes from obscure labels he found at a thrift store that sounded surprisingly good.
I have nearly 100 tapes I made and should probably repair the electronic door on my Pioneer deck so I could listen to a few again.

...that record stores sold back in the day really were awful. Those white shell tapes that were about $5 to $7 were terrible.
I had a few MFSL pre-recorded tapes at one point that were very good, but they cost more than buying a regular LP and taping it yourself.
