| Looking for a warm sweet speaker Used Sonus Fabers should fit your taste, and your budget. | |
| OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality??? FWIW, I have never put much stock in tweaks, or upgrades, believing that they are just snake oil. That was my error. I had my Denon 3520 (from the early 90’s) modded recently and it is like a new machine. I would never attempt upgrades myself but ... | |
| headphones-amp combination Since my last comment in 2011, I have purchased a pair of Stax 009s. I can’t imagine anything better but I’m still looking for better amplification (like Blue Hawaii). I’m happy for now. My other favorites are Fostex 900 and HifiMan 1000 V2, both... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? It was either Chris Isaak, or Gordon Lightfoot. I think I’m done running to concerts. The ticket prices, parking, not to mention the late hours, are just too much to navigate. Now, I just watch them on Blu-ray listening through Stax headphones, an... | |
| Tube tech-hobbyist In San Francisco or Northern San Mateo sought You might contact porschecab (Dan) at Edwards A/V in South SF. He’s in your area and seems knowledgeable. | |
| Sorry to hear about David Wilson- One of the reasons I visit this forum is to find out who recently passed away. Whether it’s a musician (or audio pioneer), no one gets out of here alive. It’s all very sad, but also inevitable! | |
| Fraud Alert: Audio Zoom Zoom, Netherlands Sending money to Nigeria (or the Netherlands, for that matter) just makes NO sense! I empathize with your situation ($15K, yikes), but sending that kind of money is crazy. I hope you get some of it back. Audio Zoom Zoom, really? Caveat emptor!P.S.... | |
| Strange Recording Some hear Yanni the other Laurel Maybe the answer will be in the next issue of Popular Science. Keep watching your mailboxes. This must be very important for some responders. | |
| Strange Recording Some hear Yanni the other Laurel It makes no difference what word was originally recorded, yanny or laurel. What matter is what you hear. My understanding is that the original recording was masked by some random frequencies to fool human hearing. When we heard the sound on TV, we... | |
| Strange Recording Some hear Yanni the other Laurel I could only hear “yanny” but my wife could only hear “laurel.” I heard them say on TV that it was added distortion that causes the two reactions. The bottom line was that those with better hearing heard “yanny” while others heard laurel. My wife ... | |
| Nakamichi Cassette Decks nrchy is correct. I have owned many Nak decks: CR-7A, Dragon, RX-505, ZX-9. I sold all but the RX-505, and still regret selling any of them. They are getting hard to find in good condition, and the prices reflect that. Willy Hermann went through e... | |
| BEST SOUNDING PLAYBACK CASSETTE DECK; RECOMMENDATIONS sunnyjim,You’re on the right track. You definitely want to find a Nakamichi. I believe your budget will dictate the model you end up with. Spend as much as you can afford, you won’t be disappointed. If you buy a Nakamichi, you won’t need to be con... | |

| Transport I second the Denon 3520. I have one and it is a beast. Also, it has fixed, variable and balanced outputs. Mine has been updated, and I’m holding on to it | |
| Sony DVP-S9000es question I have had several Sony DVP-9000 ES players. As the laser ages, it fails to automatically recognize the SACD layer on hybrid discs. Even the remote can’t force this unit to play SACDs. Once it fails to play SACDs, you really need to have it repair... |
