I have around 250 records now, mostly reissues. I'm still working my way through the ones I bought recent... | |
| Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it After all these years, I'm actually thinking about selling my Nakamichi RX-505. It was serviced a few years ago by Willy Hermann.

| What's In Your Tape Cassette Deck Tonight? Willy Hermann has gone through each of my three Nakamichi cassette decks: ZX-9; RX-505; CR-7A. As you would expect, they all have sounded amazing after being serviced by Willy. About five years ago, I bought a Nak Dragon from Willy. He called me a... | |

| SACD Warning--"Do not use liquid cleaning..." ? This is the first time that I have read about this issue. I still buy a lot of used CDs and I’m often shocked at the condition.
