Subject: Re: [TenTec] My New Eagle vs. my old Drake
I have my Drake B-twins that I got in high school 40 years ago sitting
on my
operating table right next to my Orion, and the difference is not so
much in
what one can hear that the other can't. It's like the difference in
listening to
good music that you grew up with on an LP(record) vs a compact disc.
One sounds
really good but the other brings back memories! They each have their
place in my
enjoyment of the hobby.
