| Integrated vs pre/power Good one, Trebejo! Funny, and I agree with your comment. | |
| Nakamich RX-505 Question Mark,Soundhouse is right about your RX-505 being on it's last legs. However, you can have it gone through by a reliableNak expert. His name is Willy Hermann. You can contact him at willy@willyhermannservices.com. Believe me, he will haveit working... | |
| Cassette Deck?? Great comment, Abucktwoeighty! I have been advocating that same experience on most "cassete-oriented" threads, but Ialways get blasted for it. Many believe that vinyl is theonly analog medium worth exploring. They're wrong! As you pointed out, thr... | |
| Chicks With Guitars Chrissie Hynde, Sheryl Crow, and Joan Baez. None are new but all deserve credit for their body of work. Also, JoniMitchell, but I think she was already mentioned. | |
| Are the CD'S days numbered? CDs becoming obsolete. Right! I've seen this movie before, and I know how it ends. I agree with a previous comment, let them become obsolete so there will be more available, even cheaper than today. I predict 4/$1.00, just like cassettes. I'll be ... | |
| Why no reviews of the Magnepan 3.7 in Stereophile Read the review in The Absolute Sound's July/August, 2011edition if it will help in your buying decision. Does itreally matter if there are ads for it in Stereophile? | |
| Cassette Deck?? Just for the record, my comment that a $7-$10 Goodwill deckwill sound as good as a Nakamichi was a facetious comment. I love my Nakamichi decks. They'll bury them with me. Longlive analog! | |
| Cassette Deck?? Sure, those $7-$10 Goodwill cassette decks should sound just as good as a Nakamichi? I'd go with that! | |
| Cassette Deck?? Sorry to disagree, but don't avoid Nakamichi. I have threeand thousands of cassettes to go with them. Yes, I occasionally get one that won't play well, but I usuallyblame the age or condition of the cassette, not the Nak. Spend a few bucks and get... | |
| The Best Audiophile Earphones headphones and Amp This is the thread that never stops. I always laugh when I see any mention of Schiit Audio. Like so many products, it probably has a signature sound. So...what do people say when they hear it? "WOW! This sounds like Schiit." | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? I agree with your assessment about tuners. Unless it includes Sirius/XM capability, it's likely only going togather dust in a closet or on a shelf. Who wouldn't toywith the idea of buying an MR78, Marantz 10B or any Sequerra tuner? But you have to... | |
| Headphone amp and headphones... ? Jax2- The Stax headphones I'm using today are the Lambda Signatures with an SRM-T1S driver unit. I'm sure that I'mbiased, but if anyone heard these they couldn't be happywith anything less. They're that good! They truly sound like you're listening... | |
| Paul Simon: So Beautiful or So What We saw Paul Simon years ago on the "Born at the Right Time"tour in Oakland. It was a great show and we had great seats so the sound was amazing. I like his new album alot. The Fox Theatre in Oakland is one of the best places ever to attend a conce... | |
| Pioneer BDP-09FD As Good As They Say On Stereo? I own the Pioneer BDP-09FD and find that the sound is every bit the equal of any of my Sony players. I am not a magazine reviewer, nor have I compared it to a Wadia or MBL player, but to my ears (which still work very well)the Pioneer sounds wonde... | |
| 12AX7 tubes for Music Reference RM-10 I decided to try tubes in a small way. I boughta tube-driven Stax headphone system. Yes, I like it a lot. So, mynext step will be to buy a McIntosh 275 MkV. If it sounds as good as the Stax, I'll be a convert. |
