| 45 Singles You Just Had to Buy 12" Purple Rain, by Prince. I cranked it up the night he died. Even my wife felt the loss. | |
| Yamaha Amplifier Warranty Issues I agree with Cleeds. What you have now is a used unit. A refurbished unit will have been bench tested before being shipped out to you to ensure it's in working condition, and cleaned up to look new. I would venture a guess that a refurb would b... | |
| Kyocera repair/restoration That would definitely be frustrating; never had that issue with mine. I eventually got my Nak CR-3A renovated, but I'd still like to get the Kyocera back on line. | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! J. S. Bach - Tocatta and Fugue in d minor for trembling bass Kool & the Gang - Summer Madness for searing treble | |
| Cassette decks. How good can it get? @terry9 Wow, insane prices, even from a legitimate vendor. But I won't even consider buying anything on Ebay after my one and only experience. | |
| Cassette decks. How good can it get? @terry9 I've got a stash of Sony metal ceramic body tapes, as well as Maxell XLII's. I had been wondering if there might be a market for them, but now that I've had my Nak refurbished, I think I'll hang on to them. Am I wrong, or is it pretty di... | |
| Cassette decks. How good can it get? I guess I'm the only one on this forum who had/has a Kyocera. I loved my D-811 (Dolby B, C and HX Pro), 3 motor, dual capstan, direct drive transport. Stereo Review lab measurements with TDK MA tape: S/N A wtd - 73.4; 25-20k +-3db. I'd like to ... | |
| Best double live vinyl? boxcarman, I wasn't trying to pick a fight, just saying a band with new members may be just as good as the original, and shouldn't be written off just based on the change in members. I love Journey's first album, but Journey evolved into a very d... | |
| Best double live vinyl? @boxcarman "If Little feat IS touring, it could never be the same without George, Barrere and Hayward." The Allman Brothers certainly weren't the same without Duane, Berry, and Dickie, but one could argue that the lineup with Warren, Oteil and De... | |
| Best double live vinyl? Since the question was about double live vinyl from the '60s and '70s, no question in my mind it's Allman Bros. at Fillmore East. I was coincidentally just listening to Frampton Comes Alive Deluxe Edition... don't bother. The original is far bet... | |
| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good My 'desert island' list: Allman Bros. - Fillmore East Floyd - Dark Side, Wish You Were Here Hendrix - Blues Derek - Layla Santana - Caravanserai, Abraxas, Moonflower Boston - Boston Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow Miles - Kind of Blue Coltrane -... | |
| Do speaker wires have to be the same length for each speaker? In the mean time… one highly recommended speaker cable to consider (let’s see if I can get this right); HD12-3? Years ago either Stereophile or the Absolute Sound did a comparison of a number of low to intermediate speaker cables. They threw in a... | |
| Kyocera repair/restoration fuzztone, the Kyocera D-811 had some great specs, 20-20k +-3db with normal or chrome tape, 20-22k with metal tape, .02% wow and flutter; Dolby C and HX Pro, direct drive dual capstan closed loop drive system, three motors, bias control. | |
| Kyocera repair/restoration Thanks for the input jasonbourne52. | |
| APPLE PHONES.......NO SERVICE Wow, I signed up on an audio website to read about classic Kyocera gear, and found someone whining about an Apple phone. I feel like I stepped into the Twilight Zone. |
