| Nakamichi Cassette Decks I can’t disagree, and they’re still expensive! | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? REM concerts have always been my favorite ones, but my most “memorable” was the concert by Bruce Springsteen, just Bruce and a guitar (no backup band). I could easily see why they called him the Boss. | |
| Nakamichi Cassette Decks I’m not familiar with the HK CD491. The thing I would remind you about is that there are still Nakamichi techs that can tune up an old deck to be just like new. I’m not sure that’s true for the HK CD491 (Harmon Kardon, I assume) deck you mentioned... | |
| JBL - almost nothing for sale, why? When we moved in the mid-80’s, I had owned a pair of JBL Olympus enclosures with an 001 system (130A 15” woofer, 175 DLH mid/high)in walnut, with the wood fretwork grille. My wife insisted that I sell them as they seemed big for the living room. A... | |
| Classe Audio DR6 What was the mistake? Selling it, or buying it in the first place. | |
| Nakamichi CR3A Cassette Deck You're lucky! Nakamichi is a still very big name in cassette decks. Your CR3A is too far down in the line to be a big draw. If you don't plan to keep the deck and cassettes, I suggest you sell them together. I had more than 2000 cassettes, and thr... | |
| JBL - almost nothing for sale, why? Here are my suggestions: Be patient, check eBay or Craigslist. I love the old, large JBLs (L100, L200, L300, Olympus, S7, S8, Paragon, etc). With so many audiophiles aging and retiring, they do show up occasionally. If they haven't been taken care... | |
| Nakamichi Cassette Decks My wife insisted that I sell my 2000 cassettes (including box sets) for $2300 just prior to moving. I should add that it included a mint ZX-9. I kept a couple of hundred to use with my RX-505. As l expected, I regret selling them. I still have dre... | |
| Insider or Outsider? To be or not to be,...? I'm still not seeing many yellow tags next to members names. I do believe that it won't be long before this forum will only be available to "insiders." At that time, I'll be forced to decide. In the meantime, I don't see upside other than access t... | |
| Nakamichi Cassette Decks $200 to refurbish a deck is very cheap. Don’t wait, get it done! If you have any commercially recorded tapes, listen and you won’t be disappointed. So, for $220, you’ll have great sound. Maybe not SOTA, but very good. Lucky you! | |
| The Beatles ..... Here we go, another conspiracy theory. | |
| WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER? I own an early pair of Sonus Faber Electa Amators, but I’m not some fanboy. I haven’t followed every move the company made after they reissued the wonderful Extrema (wish I had bought an original pair). The last I remember, Franco Serblin had pass... | |
| Little-known Gems Any hints on their motivation for the name of the band? | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? Thanks for reminding me about REM. We saw them live about five times and I was shocked when they called it quits. I have most of their albums, and listen to them a lot. For me, they are a lot like Rush, very original and unique. I don’t love every... | |
| BE VERY CAREFUL OF YOUR DEALINGS ON AUDIO-ASYLUM This is rare, but I agree with Elizabeth. In fact, I’d go further, and fly (or drive) to visit this person. You’re obviously a trusting soul but this is the thanks you get. Also, I would never, never, never buy outside of the US. When I see an ad ... |
