I bought a fully serviced (factory spec) Nakamichi RX-505 last week, great deal couldn't pass on it. Someone dropped it off for service and never came back after 30 days and their contact Ph# was disconnected. I just so happen to drop in and there it was for sale.

Nak can make a cassette tape sound sooooo good it's unbelievable (not an April Fool joke). I've spent hours over the last few day buying tapes from thrift stores at 35-50 cents a pop. A great find are the 'home-made' metal bias tapes. Metal tapes are big $$$ these days.

I am in the market for a new amp or receiver and I have somewhat narrowed down my search but would like opinions from others. Currently, I am driving a pair of B&W Matrix 804's. I also have a Carver HR-752 receiver that I am looking to replace. I would like at least 100 W/ch. The units I am looking at is the Rotel RX-1052 receiver or the NAD C372 integrated amp together with the NAD C422 tuner.

Who makes the better overall speaker?

no magic wires, no imaginary crystal wire strand jumping, pure audio engineering, lotsa WATTS I think I have more per sq ft than this place though. This place sounds good, they control the boom, unlike some plaes, that boom ya, whomp ya'. http://www.starlandballroom.com/tech/tech_specs.pdf
