Bimmer: It's fun going through this collection of music dating mainly from the 60's through the early 90's. I'm only on the first layer in the box with two more to go.   DeKay

Correction... My deck was a 700ZXE (not ZXL). In the 70's/80's I had numerous Nak's (250 for the car, 550, 600  and the less expensive 700 model).   DeKay

Jerry: I found a pair of spare IC's that I made years ago with cheap low metal mass Radio Shack RCA's and either Chimera Labs or Vampire magnet wire (not certain which). They were hanging behind a painting in the hallway. Definitely better soun...

If you have another outlet on the line pick up a Furman PST-8 for the sub, and you can always experiment by trying other components with the Furman (for kicks). I have 2 of the PST-8’s and they seem to be sonically OK as far as I can tell plus th...

I just listened to Spandau Ballet "The Singles Collection" on cassette and am now coming to the realization as to what a sheltered life (musically) I have led. Sorry if I'm not getting back to all the numerous PM's about cassette's but I'm just y...

As I’m barely smart enough to own, yet alone use, a computer I need advice on the following query. How do I change the title of this thread... from: "32 pairs of speaker and RCA cables measured and listened to" to: "Cassette Tape Treasure Trove... 
The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate?

SME 3009 II (improved) won't balance with Shure V15 III
From memory the effective mass of the II/Improved is 6.5 grams (maybe 7.5 - too lazy to look it up) for the fixed head shell version and 9.5 (certain on this) for the detachable head shell version. Both are excellent choices for the V15 series as...

OMG: I'm on the second layer of the "Big box of cassettes" and I'm finding multiple sealed copies of cassettes that sell for thousands of dollars. They are rare albums that I have never listened to. Should I open up one unit and give it a liste...

I've been receiving gobs of PM's about the cassette hoard, but have yet to receive a recommendation on interconnects (1 meter is fine). Listening to Leon Redbone "On the Track" right now and next up are... -Euro Disco Volume 3 -Dr. Demento  "Th...

I just connected a Kenwood KX-W594 cassette deck (found abandoned on our street apron 5-6 years ago) to the Sharp SD-EX111 mini system we use @ the computer. The reason being that my wife found a large box of her old cassette’s buried in the spar... 
One Example Please
Older post on this subject still stands (though I have added bootleg recordings of the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile since then). Sorry - more than one.     5,456 posts 05-09-2020 at 09:20am Not weird is an 1980’s box set of Fred Astaire recordi... 
Has anyone upgraded the crossovers on Spatial Hologram M4 series loudspeakers?
OT: Here's good read on placement (different tweeter than your model) which may help you accomplish your goal. https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/spatial-audio-hologram-m4-triode-master-loudspeakers/   DeKay
