[Vintage-Audio] Selecting Tape On H. Scott Amp

Thu Feb 27 16:14:00 2003

Bob, Fred and Mother Goose -  	

I like the 'reply to list' feature because it wakes a sleeping list right up.
Those opinions (never let facts cloud an issue) start flying around like pillows
at a teenage overnight sleep in! 	

Sometimes the term used means one thing to person A and another to person B.
Just a difference in perception. 	

I have been known to intentionally write something incorrect just to get a list
breathing again! 	

Whatever you guys decide, I got this puppy working either way.

Sheesh!  Now this is why I hate getting bitten by the afore-cussed 
"Reply-To" function.  "No good deed goes unpunished."

First, what did I write that was wrong?  Maybe I'm sleepy but I can't 
find with what you're disagreeing.  I concur with what you've said about 
transports and preamps but it doesn't disagree with what I said.

Second; sorry, but no way does that Scott's tape loop input have enough 
gain to handle a raw head output.  It is intended for a tape line source.
