| Which Nakamichi to choose? innaThere is more than just losing highs with dolby - sound loses fullness. Tape hiss is inevitable but can be minimized ...There’s always been a lot of confusion and misinformation about Dolby NR. Assuming a quality deck and tape that have been ... | |
| Room correction, DSP for dummies. grannyringRemove the room’s impact as much as possible and the speaker is free to be what it was intended to be....a high fidelity instrument.That doesn't quite make sense, because audiophile speakers aren't designed to be used in an anechoic ch... | |
| Replacing fuse john421 Would replacing an 6.3A SLO BLO fuse with an 8 SLO BLO fuse be ok? If the component was designed to be used with a 6.3A slo-blo, then that is the correct fuse to use for replacement. Usually, the correct fuse size is noted on the back of t... | |
| XLR out on a tuner? celanderGiven the price point of this tuner, I strongly suspect it is running its XLR outputs in an “unbalanced” configuration (that is, both return and shield are running to ground, like in a RCA interconnect)That is extremely unlikely because if... | |
| Is Social Media the demise of audio review publications? Social media has certainly brought changes to conventional media, but traditional media lives on.

| Which Nakamichi to choose? inna... His 'overhaul' is not at all ES Labs overhaul who literally completely disassemble and reassemble decks and claim to make them like new or better. But they charge thousands, so I told them to go to hell. Really? You tell people to go ... | |
| Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5 bo1972 I talked with many people about trial and error. These people are all persons who work in audio for a long time. No one could explain to me that he uses any kind of foundation.They all agreed that is is based on gambling and hoping for... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? terry9Not an archival medium? Depends. Cheap stuff, 120 minutes, agreed. Metal Type 4, 60 minutes duration, absolutely disagree.The facts speak for themselves. You can’t get flat frequency response to 20K on cassette at 0 dB - when cassette manufa... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? leoniruiiHad a 680 ZX for a short while which was also a quality device.The 680 is an outstanding machine. I still have mine - it was expertly serviced last year by Soundsmith. I use it with a Nakamichi NR200 outboard Dolby B/C unit. When level... | |
