| Disagreements and Conflicts between Audiophiles have we lost our brotherhood and maturity? @calvinj FYI: I paid 93k for my house in 1985. Just an observation. | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? Like 'cheapman' said, people by Rolex because they want a Rolex not necessarily because it is a 'precision time piece'. But have you ever read a review where the author states that 60% of the cost of an audio amplifier is the fancy chassis? Tha... | |
| Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews? I've been reading audio reviews since 1965. The BS in reviews has increased steadily since around 1980. What one wishes to hear is so subjective that a reviewers' evaluation isn't really worth much. That point of view was respected in the 60's a... | |
| The Wizard of Vinyl Is in Kansas Dorothy is there too. | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? For the sake of argument...... NO | |
| Buckeye amps Ironically the Buckeye amp(s) that Stereophile reviewed had defective Purifi modules, hence the poor test results. There will be an updated review in July of 2025. I felt bad for Dylan who has worked so hard to get some respect (other than ASR).... | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM? We all adjust our TV's to our liking and we accept that our neighbor with the exact same TV may have different preferences in his settings. No problem, that's what he likes. Why the hell can't we do that with audio. | |
| Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu I currently have Ohms and have no urge to change. Likewise | |
| Nakamichi CA-7 preamp Hi is the CA-7 the same as the CA-7A? The 'A' suffix designates North America distribution | |
| Nakamichi CA-7 preamp I have a PA-7A MKII amp and a CA-7A pre. Both were made in 1990 and I bought them in 1998. The CA-7A comes with a remote which I highly recommend; the source buttons break easily and have to be glued back on when pressed manually. The only othe... | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? You didn't mention capacitors, but you should have. | |
| Nakamichi PA-7 Power cable replacement/IEC conversion question Hard to tell from the photo of the NAK PA-7 if the plug is polarized. It doesn't look like it is That plug is polarized; mine has a ground plug also, hence a three pronged plug | |
| Nakamichi PA-7 Power cable replacement/IEC conversion question I have the MKII version built in 1990 and I also live in Canada. It does NOT have an IEC connection. I suspect that the Canadian models did not have an IEC connector most likely due to CSA (Canadian Standards Association) regulations as opposed ... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital May I recommend Verve MGVS-6109 "Side by Side" with Duke Ellington and Johnny Hodges. Absolutely stunning performance. | |
| 3 tone control integrated amp/preamp My Nakamichi CA-7A pre-amp has 3 tone controls, a world class phono section and, best of all, a remote. But it is 35 years old and well within your budget. |
