Boxer.
it is pretty darn sweet tbh. Lots of dynamics and no feel of compression or loss of range. Vocals were still standout.

Thats why I have systems set up in three different rooms ... lol

The node should only index when you ask it too. And you only need do that if you say disconnected the power or lost the internet connection or added a shed load of new music to the library.
I always left my vault powered up and cat7 cable plugged in at all times.
Oh and sometimes after an update you needed to reindex. |
Very odd.
My vault would take like 6 minutes max to do a complete Reindex so I honestly never bothered to worry about it.
The only event I know that took hours was the very first time I did a complete backup to an external hdd. |
Mental
Good to hear, hoping it was just its first time go a round.
Enjoy the music!

Thx Nutty!
I just recorded an album on it from Quboz hires and it sounds REAL good played back so heads are in great shape.
One reason I took a chance, these glassxtal heads in the Akai of that time period are near indestructible!
And it looks ultra cool as it stands on end and looks all the world like a mini R2R player! Fact it would be cool to have an Akai R2R right next to it!
Good times ahead....... |
Repeat Offender ... Richard Marx.
Cassette on my new to me Akai GXC-510D deck.
1974 and still has protective plastic on the top of it. Real time capsule. It might even sound just about as sweet as my Nakamichi 582. Not bad for $55!. |

Donnie can be seen pedalling around our neighborhood at times,very down to earth guy, just a regular guy doing the beer and smokes run to the local shop!
He does live in the woods though, meaning his house is surrounded by woods, you would not know he was there unless you knew, which is how he wants it i guess. |

IMHO the Nordost digital cables like the Silver Shadow and the Heimdal I upgraded to were very good, much better than their analog interconnects and speaker cables. Not warm but very clean and transparent with a lot of detail retrieval. Enjoy!
btw, Cellar Darling will definitely not appeal to everybody ....lol
