| Phase inverting problem Phase inverting...whose idea was that? Clearly, I'm not an electrical engineer but who in their right mind wants to reverse leads on their cartridge or change the wires on their speakers just to play a record. If phase inversion can't be done with... | |
| Do people buy MAC gear for the blue meters The simple answer is "Yes" but let's be fair. McIntosh is one of the few high end companies that have survived thevolatility in the electronics business. Their products are well-made, timeless and prized by collectors even many years after the mod... | |
| Is it good for a Krell to SIT for 3-5yrs Funny you should ask...I had a Krell CD-DSP that was updated by Krell to Mark 2 status. I packed it in the original box and stored it in the garage for a couple ofyears. When I unpacked it, it only worked as a transport. I sold it to someone who f... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall III or Tyler Acoustics PD-15 Can't comment on the differences or smoothness of sound but want you to also think about resale. If upgradeitis hits, you will always be able to sell the Klipsch brand.Tyler Acoustics...may take awhile! Just a thought. | |
| Used contact cleaner on Nak BX-300; now broke When it comes to cassette players, DIY doesn't cut it. Getsome professional help from someone who will check it out from top to bottom. Try to get an estimate first, it may be more cost-effective to buy a better model that has beenrecently service... | |
| Looking for warm sounding speakers IMO, the Sonus Faber Electa Amators would be a good choice. Assaid above, they are warm sounding and can play loud. Highs are smooth, probably due to the Dynaudio Esotar tweeter. Youwould not be disappointed, and they are in your price range-$2K-3... | |
| Dr. Dre Beats Check Craigslist. Look under "Electronics" and put "headphones" in the search field. I see them there all the time for less than Best Buy prices, with all accessories. | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. I agree with Slaw-Natalie Merchant is very smooth. I'm going to her concert Wednesday. I'm glad to see that she is touring again. Joni Mitchell (Court and Spark) is also great, IMO. | |
| Is new better than old? Ben, there's no rule of thumb but if you stretch the budge (sic) you'll be glad you did years later when you're still enjoying your speakers. Personally, I've found that when Imake compromises, price over performance, the upgrade bug hits faster a... | |
| Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next? "A cassette playback system is no match for a decent analog front end. That is not debatable."Aodiofeil has spoken...I guess there's nothing more to say!?? | |
| Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next? Nrenter, that's probably a good analogy. I think the idea of VHS making a resurgence is pretty far fetched. Don't misunderstand, I'm not replacing my CDs and vinyl with mycassette collection. The point is that you can get greatsound from a quality... | |
| Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next? "...you must have compared them to some pretty bad records on a plastic turntable." Wow, that didn't take long! A plastic turntable...yeah, right. See what I mean? I don't expect, or want, a cassette renaissance. If that ever happens I'll have to ... | |
| Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next? Right...yuk it up guys but as I write this I'm listening to my Nakamichi RX-505 which was recently gone through by a renowned local tech named Willy Hermann. The sound is amazing and I do trust my ears to form that opinion. I just got in from shop... | |
| vinyl in vagas and san francisco amoeba is great (first choice) but also try Rasputin's Recycled Records in several (SF) bay area locations. | |
| Help with Nakamichi RX 202 Static I'm listening to my recently rebuilt RX-505 as I write this response. Something is obviously wrong under the hood of your RX-202. Rather than attempt to fix it yourself, send it to aqualified Nak expert. Believe me, it's worth the investment. |
