Vivaldi, played badly, is the worst classical music on earth
OK, maybe we're a little off topic but@john_g--radically fun version of Four Seasons-played well !@twoleftears -- haven't listened to the 6th in years but i will listen to this version again and again..thanks 
Cassettes still rock!
@mcondo --you inspired me to dig out some cassettes i hadn't heard since the  70s just to see how they sounded.  I don't remember what deck i recorded them on, but i was amazed how good the playback was on the Nakamichi for the first two albums i ...

No offense taken uberI'm glad you made the comments as i was bummed when i read the post saying he had retired--and thrilled that he hasn't, although he told me he's got a 10 month backlog so if your 660zx needs work you better get in line now!

I was thrilled to get an email from Willy this morning--i looked for the comment from someone else about him being "gone" but i couldn't find it--not sure if it was on this thread or a different one--anyway, Kevin, thanks for letting me know that ...

thanks for the tips on what to look for--back then i was just trying to replace mostly rock/folk albums and most of the CDs were awful (not all).  Interestingly the flood did not touch my classical music LPs--made me wonder if there was a message ...

I'm glad you made this post Erik--i had forgotten a note i'd made to myself a few years ago about a new Vivaldi performance of the 4 seasons by Adrian Chandler who both conducts and plays the violin--it was intriguing because they used a 3 string ... 
what's your opinion on the magazine 'stereo review'??
I think i remember that article in SR about speaker wire--would be distressing to know they lied.  As to few negative reviews, i remember Hirsch and Holt both responding to that accusation by saying that the vast majority of equipment they review ...

Back when, i rarely used the Nakamichi deck to listen to cassettes--just to record for use in the car.  If sound quality degraded over time i just re-recorded the vinyl.  Now though, having lost so many vinyl albums in the flood, i have some casse...

Didn't even read most of this thread past the first few posts--in the day i always recorded my vinyl one play--onto 7.5 R to R Akai deck and Nakamichi CR4 cassette deck, metal tape.  The cassettes are just so so now==the pre=recorded ones unlisten...
