| Which Nakamichi to choose? uberwaltz, if the same recording sounds as good on your Nak as it does on your Nottingham, something is not quite right. There are a few possibilities.I have the same turntable, better Nak, top tape and probably better cables, and it does not over... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Clean stable power is 50% of success. Doesn't exist any more unless you are very lucky. But we are talking about cables. There might be exceptions, of course, but I believe that audiophile best value 1 M pair interconnect cables should be within $... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Stage 3 Concepts is definitely worth considering, quite expensive. Ecole as well. | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? Streaming is not owning, consumer grade computers are junk and break often. This is not currently a hardware for audiophiles. One day, probably. How long are you going to live ? Keep all the discs you like, and records and tapes and 78s and 8 trac... | |
| Which of my cables would you upgrade or change and why? I never 'tune' the system with cables, this is a very wrong approach. Upgrade cables should be better or at least not worse in every respect. This usually means expensive enough cables. $500/$600 for a pair of new 1M RCA is a good starting point. ... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Peter, I personally don't like wearing watches and so I don't unless I am some distance from civilization. No, not Rolex, I got 28 years old never serviced Orient automatic that keeps decent accuracy. But I would get Rolex Explorer II if I could a... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Rolex are very accurate though not the most accurate there is, time to service it. It also has proven reliability and resistance to elements confirmed by those who wore them in faraway places. Rolex is in fact a performance choice.I think, the OP ... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? You are most welcome, just please don't ask for more. On another note, Willy really upset me last time. He now ships only UPS Ground, though I asked him to ship USPS Priority. He refused, for whatever reason but not for the reason of cost because ... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? Yes, Tandberg 3014 and 3014A or Nakamichi 1000ZXL would be my choice. I would not pay too much for the ZX-9, and it costs a lot. | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? I think, he now does only overhauls if it is the first time that he works on your deck. 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 cha... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Yeah. Also, Flemming Rasmussen likes large scale music, according to his own words, so this should be factored in. My guess - Gryphon would win in dynamics and bass, Ypsilon would win in tone depth tapestry and overall sophistication.I would most ... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? I use Nak 682ZX on a weekly basis and send it to Willy Hermann for service every five years. It also has custom transformer and $1500 interconnects to pass the signal to the amp.No, it does not sound as good as Nottingham Spacedeck turntable. And ... | |
| Why Miles Davis late alboms are not well recorded? Miles's trumpet sounds quite acceptable on Bitches Brew, the rest of the instruments do not. I play both the original US and original Japanese records. Pangaea album is very listenable, I have original Japanese pro, but I wouldn't call it a good r... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Most agreed in another thread that tonearm cable is the most important cable in the entire system. With such equipment level you might want something really good.What do you call " mega dollars " ? For some it is $15k pair and for others it is $15... | |
| If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system? Some might say that I would be unable to get all the master dubs I would want. You know, money buys cooperation, presidency, presidents, governments and even smaller countries. I would get absolutely everything, and this would be safely delivered ... |
