| Nakamichi Dragon Performance with Type II tapes Yeah,sealed Vertex goes for at least $75 and MA-XG for $40. Old MAs are better than newer ones. Maxell MX-S is quite good, usually $12-$15 a piece. Sony Metal Master and That's Suono just don't sound good on my deck, and Vertex and MA-XG are mecha... | |
| Nakamichi Dragon Performance with Type II tapes I sent mine to Willy Hermann too.Reference metal tape is better in every respect. Some do think that best type I tape can go a little lower in bass. Not in my experience. | |
| Nakamichi Dragon Performance with Type II tapes If you want to really test your deck you should use reference type IV metal tape: Maxell Vertex or TDK MA-XG. Two best type II tapes that I tried were Nakamichi SX and Maxell XLII-S.On my Nak 682ZX Vertex is clearly superior to everything else. | |
| Is it okay to talk around your speakers? It is perfectly OK for as long as you don't talk or even think about other speakers. That would not be forgiven. | |
| Downgrading from Rega P5, what next? I would guess that you want to downgrade to start upgrading later. Interesting idea. Why not? | |
| SET amp recommendations for Zu Definition II's There are Komuro amps here on sale; should be good enough. | |

| What are the optimal percentages for analog system This is a little complicated especially not knowing your budget and how far in your upgrading you are prepared to go in the near future.

| How does a beginner turntable compare to digital ? Expect nothing in advance - just try it. I agree with the recomendation of Pro-Ject Debut III. Add to this Pro-Ject phono box and Pro-Ject speed controller. | |
| cardas hexlink golden 5c speaker cable In my experience Cardas is too colored, slow and unbalanced; not enough resolution; it distorts badly everything that passes through it. Connectors are okay though. | |
| Purist Audio vs. Stealth cables Dev, you are right of course. | |
| Best tweak - System Improvement Nakamichi 682ZX deck has a captured power cord and two prong plug. You can change the phase by plugging in in two ways, I guess. The difference is very audible. And this trick is free of charge. | |
| How many Lp do U have more than 5 of the Same So, what is the best sounding copy of DSOTM and Wish You Were Here this side of test pressing? And of Deep Purple "Machine Head" ? | |
| I want to upgrade, But , to which table ? And Nottingham. Not familiar with VPI and Rega but I heard an opinion that, generally speaking, VPI is "slow" and Rega "hectic". | |
| Purist Audio vs. Stealth cables I would buy used anyway. I understand that the quality is about the same; I keep things for a long time. |
