| How to fix Yamaha DSP-A1 Considering the cost of shipping your Yamaha in both directions, it would help if you told us the area you live in. My gold Yamaha RX-V1 is currently being repaired locally at a cost of $432, so be prepared. | |
| Thinking about Sonus Faber Stradivari .... I own the early version of the SF Electa Amators, with the wood and marble stands and the Dynaudio Esotar tweeters. I'm still glad I bought them more than twenty years later. They still sound great! I'll buy more speakers but I'll never sell these... | |
| Dissapointed with import LPs..... I used to buy nothing but "Made in UK" records back in the 70s and 60s because they sounded so much better to my ears than US pressings. They seemed less processed, less equalized. Today, I don't see that much difference in CDs that are made in ot... | |
| Nakamich RX-505 Question Harold,The flipper mechanism on my RX-505 got jammed recently as I left it on continuous loop and closed the cabinet door so it was unable to flip the cassette. I took it to Willy and he played with it for a minute and got it working, much to my r... | |
| Best bargain find ever ? I wandered into a thrift store and found ALL of the original Beatles albums in cassette format with the original carrier. 25 cents each, plus $1 for the carrier. The cassettes are like new. Someone probably bought them just before CDs were introdu... | |
| Nakamich RX-505 Question Sorry, Raul, but I haven't revisited this thread in a long time. You can contact Willy at willy@willyhermannservices.com. Good luck. He's reasonable. | |
| Interesting vintage find That's a good combo, just the wrong decade. Time warp! You forgot to mention how it sounded. Probably very good. | |
| R.I.P. Lou Reed Another of my early rock 'n roll heroes gone. Very sad! Lou and I didn't correspond but I was glad to know that artists like Lou were in the world. My wife and I saw him perform in 1972 at the Santa Monica Civic. About the time of "R&R Animal"... | |
| I'm very, very lucky Must be one of them "Hot Stampers." | |
| Apogee Diva Ribbon Speakers - I need an amp Lucky you, Scott! I hope my next home comes with a pair of Quads and Cary tube monoblocks. You are living a charmed life. | |
| World Series Buzz Direct TV or cable, it doesn't matter. It's crowd noise. They allow it in so you feel like you are at the game. It's always there. | |
| Recapturing the JBL L100 Century If you feel you can't live without the sound of vintage JBL L100 Centurys, take a look at Craigslist. You'll find everything from original condition to restored. My guess is that they will sound closer than anything else. But my best advice is to ... | |
| Upgrading Turntable I get the impression from your post that you are looking to buy new. I rarely give advice but since you are "new to analogue, and actually to Hi-Fi in general," I would tell you that turntables get upgraded frequently. Consider buying used. There ... | |
| My Music Hall CD 25 just died In answer to your questions:(1) Definitely do NOT repair it.(2) Buy something used (but not too old) on Audiogon.(3) Buy a universal player for CD, SACD and DVD-Audio.Enjoy the current formats until something better comes along, and it could be aw... | |
