| Rega, Music Hall or VPI Of the names you mention, get the VPI, definitely! | |
| Thanks R.E.M. I just read that R.E.M. is splitting up. Very sad! I was introduced to them by my daughter more than 20 years ago.We have seen them live many times and will miss their concerts. My favorite albums are from their middle-period,Automatic for the Peo... | |
| Does anyone know about SF Stereo and Theater? As I now recall, Willy was a partner in Stereo Plus (in SF)not SF Stereo. However, he was well connected and may be able to locate the techs that did the mods on your MF DAC. | |
| Does anyone know about SF Stereo and Theater? Willy Hermann, the very reliable Nakamichi tech, was a partner in SF Stereo. He is now retired but still workingby repairing and rebuilding Nak machines. I'm sure he cansupply the info you need or will know someone who can. You can contact him at ... | |
| 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... |
