| Great equipt stand for under $500??? Don’t overlook those consignment stores. | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? melbguyone,I recognize that there are probably decks that rival the performance of the Nakamichi cassette decks. I recall seeing a Tandberg 3014 at a stereo store decades ago and wondering how it sounded. I never sat down to listen and I can only ... | |
| MFSL worth it? MFSL records are well made and generally reliable for good sound, especially if still sealed. Having said that, I agree with the above comment that you sell it and buy more music. | |
| Great equipt stand for under $500??? knollbrent,The rack you chose from Amazon is probably as good as anything else suggested. | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? “I’ll wait for some high end company to release a new high end 3-head deck with the latest technology.”Sounds good, but don’t hold your breath. Save yourself a lot of angst and just buy a Nakamichi. I recommend the Dragon, CR-7A, RX-505 and ZX-9, ... | |
| Paul is Done Nothing new...just remember that Elton John, Rush and Neil Diamond have all announced the end of their touring years. Everyone gets old and tired eventually, some sooner rather than later. Be glad for the many years of touring they gave us, along ... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? Inna, you're right about Willy Hermann. He specializes in aligning decks to work better than new. He worked on four of mine and he is amazing. I'm not sure how quickly he turns work around but it was usually only a couple of weeks, but I picked th... | |
| Is the OPPO-205 worth $3600? You didn’t mention why you needed the Oppo 205, unless you were just impressed by its reputation (which still makes sense). Paying $3600 for a player made to sell for $1299 doesn’t make any sense. Maybe I misunderstood. If $3600 includes the Modwr... | |
| Great equipt stand for under $500??? I can’t think of a better item to look for on the “pre-owned” market. I think it’s like a car, it loses a lot of value once you drive it off the lot. However, with all your stuff, you probably need two. Also, try consignment stores. | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? Calling a cassette deck (especially a Nakamichi deck) a “turd” is just wrong! Anyone who still listens to cassettes knows what I mean. The medium gets a bad rap as it only moves the tape at 1.75” per second. OK, it’s not reel-to-reel but it can so... | |
| My experience after lost of 20k$ I have a room full of vinyl, cassettes and CDs, not to mention the hardware used to play each of them. I have resisted the urge to buy into the “new” computer audio wave even though I read about the joys of that experience. I simply see it as anot... | |
| Time to Get Specific If something you buy doesn’t work right when it gets to you, does the original purchase date really matter? On the other hand, if it works well, who cares! The reality is that the answers to those questions don’t guarantee anything. | |
| There should be a "Rant" category... I can hardly believe it...a thread about ranting and no hint of politics. Thank you, God! | |
| Speakers under $5000 maintained a reputation for quality sound over the last 15 years. Sonus Faber, Thiel. Many models, from both companies, can be found used for less than $5,000 in today’s market. | |
| There should be a "Rant" category... Really...10% and he countered? That’s ridiculous! You would have been crazy to buy from someone like that. Gordon Gecko said that greed is good, but it really isn’t. Others may disagree with my opinion, but at least you now know the truth...and yo... |
