Dolby NR encoding - did it ever work
This may be hard to believe, but recordings that I make from cds sound better than the cds. Noisier, yes, but better in everything else. This deck, or maybe any good deck, does something in the proccess of the recording. My CEC TL5100Z belt drive ... 
record storage question
This is an interesting question. Personally, I wouldn't want it, just to be on the safe side. 
Hi-Fi can be less expensive than anything
Nonoise, thank you. I get all my knives from one dealer - Nordic Knives in California - and almost always select blades made by mastersmiths. My preferences are Jim Crowell, John Fitch and Harvey Dean. Take a look at the Dean's website - great pie... 
Hi-Fi can be less expensive than anything
Well if you bring real estate in, then it does become very expensive. As for me, I don't need a dedicated listening room - good size living room is just fine.There is a lot that you can do with furniture, curtains, books and carpets. No it won't b... 
Dolby NR encoding - did it ever work
Let me tell you something about well-executed dolbyB. It is great. My perfectly aligned and calibrated Nak 682ZX sounds incredible for a cassette deck, especially with Maxell Vertex tape. Forget those TDK, Sony , Denon etc. tapes. I tried everythi... 
Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist?

Luxman E200 phonostage

Taters, you must already have a great set-up. Ten thousand especially in used dollars is a lot of money. 
Rock with strings
This is not rock but neo-classical. Might be interesting to some.Yngwie Malmsteen with New Japan Philarmonic. Great music, bad recording. Actually, youtube sounds better than cd. I think, this is his best album, at least to my taste, and the orche... 
Best Cartridge for Raidho D3 - Atlas, GFS, PC1-S
I haven't heard either but I think I read here, maybe even written by Albert, that Air Tight has a warmer sound, Lyra is faster and more neutral. Albert has two tables and four arms and uses Air Tight, Lyra, Allnic and Koetsu. At least that's what... 
Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist?
Mr_m, I don't think that I have such a problem. I initiated this discussion not because I am about to upgrade or even that when I do upgrade I will only go with all tube design. I am interested in what other people think and their experiences with... 
Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx
How does the Luxman do soundstage? 
Hi-Fi can be less expensive than anything
I see, very nice looking knives. I prefer fixed blades, though have two folders too. All custom, handmade American. I wouldn't call it collecting, I use some of them but not all. Buy maybe one or two knives a year. Now that's expensive, about $500...

Douglas, where is your analog front end?
