Step up from Nakamichi 582 tape deck?
Yes you did …. lolBut I could say the same over ALL the old muscle cars I have owned which back then were just old gas guzzlers and not 50 to 100k plus machines.The wisdom of hindsight but the fun of misguided youth … No regrets! 
The Golden era of Japanese integrated amps, are we missing out?
Sanyo JCX 2400K is now doing duty in my second system.A whole $50 for a unit that looks pristine and a work of art but more importantly has been serviced and recapped.Well it was $95 shipping so $145 total.I am very impressed all round, not an ove...

Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup

PayPal Frustration/Issue Heads-Up
I did actually have it happen here to myself as the buyer maybe 3 weeks ago.I just sent the seller money direct to his PayPal addy referencing the Agon sale., after it had been screwed up to solve it.No idea why it was kicked back right away, cert... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Finally....El Camino ... The Black Keys.45rpm.First time ever played my main TT at 45rpm ... Lol.Good job I set both 33 and 45 with a strobe through the Walker controller when I got it.Much easier than swapping belt onto different pulley.Woah!Darn... 
Headphone Recommenations
Audeze Mobius right at $400 new.Bluetooth and wired so you have options.They tout and sell them as a "gaming" headset which is a little off the mark imho.Not the lightest but comfortable enough for a couple hour sessions.Still breaking mine in but...

Slaw.It was in Sanford, I was working in Aberdeen/ Pinehurst area.2 weeks before I was in Wilmington.Maybe the UK vs Classic version is part of the difference I perceive on on Rough Mix.
