| Which Nakamichi to choose? This is probably too much information, but I have kept my nine year old Lexus for the same reason. I still have hundreds of commercially recorded tapes that I find hard to part with. The fact that it has the Mark Levinson sound system is a bonus. ... | |
| Is the OPPO-205 worth $3600? Supply and demand principles still apply, but not everything that's rare is valuable. The Oppo 205 is worth what it was scheduled to sell for (and probably a little more), but it's not the holy grail some make it seem. | |
| MFSL worth it? 2channel8,I bought them to listen to but didn't get around to it at first. This was during MFSL's short-lived time as a retailer in a strip mall in Sebastopol, CA. They seemed to be on shaky ground financially and the possibility that they might d... | |
| MFSL worth it? A few years ago, I sold my sealed MFSL records for $50 each, without regard for the title or artist. I probably made a mistake, but I had only paid $13.99 for each years earlier. The only exception was "Woodstock" (5 record set, not sealed), which... | |
| I just inherited 800-1000 CD's and a lot of them are filthy curiousjim,Use paper towels at your own risk. Cloth is best! I bet you're glad you saved those old tee shirts. | |
| So I just inherited a bunch of CD's and some are made overseas... I’d keep the ones made in Japan. They are typically a higher quality. | |
| I just inherited 800-1000 CD's and a lot of them are filthy That "Novus" plastic cleaner should be fine. I use Novus #1 Plastic Clean and Shine. Remember to clean at a 90 degree angle (so they say). You can also use it for the jewel boxes. In my experience, CD players are very forgiving of surface scratches. | |
| Headphone cable, what do you do? Buy a pair of Stax headphones. They offer 25 ft. extension cords that are specifically designed to be used with Stax phones. I’m not a tech but I doubt that there is any loss of fidelity. I have two, one for each pair of phones. One is round, the ... | |
| 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... |
