| Nakamichi Cassette Decks $200 to refurbish a deck is very cheap. Don’t wait, get it done! If you have any commercially recorded tapes, listen and you won’t be disappointed. So, for $220, you’ll have great sound. Maybe not SOTA, but very good. Lucky you! | |
| The Beatles ..... Here we go, another conspiracy theory. | |
| WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER? I own an early pair of Sonus Faber Electa Amators, but I’m not some fanboy. I haven’t followed every move the company made after they reissued the wonderful Extrema (wish I had bought an original pair). The last I remember, Franco Serblin had pass... | |
| Little-known Gems Any hints on their motivation for the name of the band? | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? Thanks for reminding me about REM. We saw them live about five times and I was shocked when they called it quits. I have most of their albums, and listen to them a lot. For me, they are a lot like Rush, very original and unique. I don’t love every... | |
| BE VERY CAREFUL OF YOUR DEALINGS ON AUDIO-ASYLUM This is rare, but I agree with Elizabeth. In fact, I’d go further, and fly (or drive) to visit this person. You’re obviously a trusting soul but this is the thanks you get. Also, I would never, never, never buy outside of the US. When I see an ad ... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? These posts are always fun to respond to because no matter how true your response is, someone will always want to minimize your response by giving a history lesson that only reveals that they just want to seem smart. Don’t bother looking, you know... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? Yes, CCR is a great choice. I'm also thinking Beach Boys and Eagles. | |
| Old School MFSL We all know that something is only worth what someone else will pay for it. Some call it the "greater fool theory." I have seen these prices before. Despite that, I sold my Mobile Fidelity albums at $50 each (many were still sealed). I had only pa... | |
| Insider or Outsider? To be or not to be,...? Another money-making scheme from the inventors of peepholes. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Jackson Browne, “I’m Alive” A truly great album! | |
| A song murdered by someone. It’s hard to listen to any group trying to rework a Beatles standard. I don’t want to be cruel, but some are really pathetic. You can hear them regularly on the Beatles channel on XM Radio. | |
| Going to Rocky Mountain Audio Fest - any advice I went to RMAF several years ago. When I think back on it, the thing I recall most vividly was the headphone room in the main ballroom. I heard the Blue Hawaii headphone amp with some truly amazing phones; Stax (of course), Fostex, Audeze and Senn... | |
| EAT C-Sharp Turntable anyone owned or demoed it?? I have an interest in the same table. Living in the desert, dust settles on everything. Their lower priced tables include a dust cover, while the C-Sharp doesn’t. I’ll be interested in responses to this thread as I wonder how good their lower-pric... | |
| Small dedicated listening rooms luckytiger1,I have your exact situation. Despite moving to a larger home, I’m in a room the same size as yours with 10’ ceiling. There are no absolutes, but here is what I have done to continue to enjoy this hobby. I use stand-mounted lspeakers (S... |
