Geez Raul, I think that I actually agree with you for once! It feels good.

Dear @leemurray2007 : ""
This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. "" For that kind of " sealy " affirmation posted in an open forum you have to wait every kind of posts. You said too: " respond if you disagree " Well, for that " seally " affirmation amybe a " seally " question is in order: Where is or are the foundations for your affirmation, from where came that list? it came from ignorance or low knowledge levels? or in reality you have something in hand that you do not disclose yet. Even all those you posted: "" I love it how all the idiots on here are like.."" Maybe things could be the other way around. Several Agoners post with the attitude to help in some ways the OP and in this thread I can't understand how we can help you. Which are your targets? Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. |
Nakamichi did make some nice cassette machines but so did Pioneer, using Dolby S. Some of the Nak 3-head machines do have a serious bug though. If you're looking at one make sure it records properly on BOTH channels. Their record heads have a way of one channel dying and they are expensive- you'll pay as much for the record head as you did the machine. Not worth it IMO. |
I disagree. Speakers-BIC "Venturi" or White Van Specials. Kicker crushes too. Hey if it is good enough for a vintage Camaro..... Turntable-BIC (again) or Stereophonic. Cassette-Pioneer. The one with the illuminated plastic covered well in the front. Cabling-Home Depot off the spool. The highest gauge for better flexibility. Amp-Kicker. Again, if it good enough for the loud ambient conditions in a Mopar vehicle, how can you argue? |
I still have my nakamichi dragon deck in my system. Does it sound “great” no does it sound really good hell yes. I used it to record live radio broadcasts of concerts. Summerfest in Milwaukee would broadcast the main act every night. I have some great shows that you can’t get anywhere. Back in the 80’s audition cassettes were sent out from artistic as a cheap and easy process to market them selfs. I have an original Yngwie Malmsteen demo tape from before anyone had heard of him. I still listen to it today. |
The all time great audio "brands" are either now non-existent or the brand names have been bought, and off-shore companys are selling their gear under a false flag, false in the sense that a Marantz is no kin to "Marantz" of historical importance. McIntosh may be one exception, and I am sure there are a very few others, like maybe KEF and Technics. Was that your point in starting this pointless thread? |

Disagree that nothing comes close to a Nak. Just some examples, TandbergTD3014 & 3004, Sony TC-KA7ES & TCK777ESII, Luxman K05 & Alpine AL-95, Pioneer CT-A1 & CT-95, Revox H11 & B215, Akai GX-F95, Yamaha KX2000, ... Some more, rare as the above, but that does not take away that Naks were great machines too but more popular. G |
leemurray2007, " Is their vintage stuff worth checking out?" Yes, I love vintage equipment, here's a good place to start. https://skyfiaudio.com/ Regards, barts |
Is this list the best components you will find in your closest goodwill store? If you were going to pay $10 or less, then these components would be a some kind of list. Cassette tape was doomed when it started: not enough tape to record on, heat if using in a car, and the 1.7 ips speed. I have had reel to reel decks and 3 3/4 speeds sounded terrible too, 7.5 ips was listenable but the magic occurred at 15ips. |
