My battery just died after 6 years. Paid $6 for replacement battery and now it's back up and running. Thanks for the detailed video, it helped a ton.

What's the trick to getting the eject cams aligned?

Nejhezčí tapedeck všech dob. Skutečný highend.

Thanks for the video. I transferred 25,000 songs from Apple to Tidal, it took almost 2 days. Never again, I hope Tidal never goes out of business.

Thank you for the video As far as it consider the Dolby level and meter range the manual says different setting than you used. It says 338mV at test points near dolby chip not -5dB at line out !

CR-7a was probably the best deck Nakamichi made measurement wise.

Большая благодарность за вашу работу! Всегда приятно посмотреть, перенять опыт. Сам лично использую полимерные Nippon Chemi-Con серий PS (PSE, PSC, PSF, PSG) везде, где не критичны большие токи утечки. Оптимальны по цене, и очень долговечны - до 20000 часов.

Hi! What audio is going into the PC - Signal into unit input - direct to unit output? Or Signal to unit input - to TAPE - to tape output - back to PC / NAK T-100? Thanks.

It's great that you still keep saving this underrated audio equipment.bravo ,

Ker se že več kot 35 let bavim profesionalno z glasbo, verjetno ne bi mogel odkriti razliko med njimi in ugotoviti kateri zveni boljše ! Moj sluh je namreč od poslušanja že okvarjen ! To kar počnete vi je preseravanje ! Slišite nekaj česar nj in mi profesionalci tega niti ne slišimo !?

The best-looking cassette deck ever produced. Best sounding too as I still play mine almost every day. Flawless in EVERY way!!!

New amazing repairing and video. I named it Blue moon Nakamichi

Großartiger Vergleich. Danke dafür 👍✌️🙂

If I’m not mistaken on an Apple device, you have to use the camera adapter to get high res into a DAC. Is that what you do on your Apple devices? I think if you go directly from the lightning port into a DAC it tops out at 24/48. I don’t know on the newer devices with USB-C. This is what I’ve always done on my iPhone, when I connected it directly to a DAC. Anymore I use a Wiim mini optical out to my DAC.

Beautiful decks! Both are superb Nakamichi machines. I love the CR-7!

Hi, I have been experiencing this issue with apple music and I am suspecting my wi-fi connection as my playback often stops. I am now considering ethernet cabling but for now I am trying downloading apple music to my IOS and Mac to prove that it is my wi-fi

Hi Res, basically moving distortion futher up the chain to make it easier to impliment cheap dacs and charge more money. Plenty of info on the internet showing how identical music masters released on 24/192 and 16/44 can not be dicerned by listeners, incuding reviewers and mastering engineers, in ABX testing. Also info on how 16/44 is all the dynamics and frequency range we can deal with and hear as humans in a domestic environment. You then add that the majority of music on this planet is actually 16bit resolution or less, and that the majority of mics used in the music industry cannot acurately capture above 20Khz or do high dynamic range, and you quickly see by dynamic range of 96db to 106db with a frequency range of 10hz to 20Khz is more than we need and more than most audio equipment can actually produce. Even funnier is that all this music is recorded with $2 per meter starquad running many many meters into patch bays running further lengths into more patch bays and mixers through conduit, so some engineer can take half a dozen different tracks recorded on different days in different rooms, then with plug ins and all manner of stuff, distort, add punch, remove dynamics, increase levels here, decrease levels there, equalize this, compress that and pan all these individual rooms into what sounds like a sound stage with depth and width and placement of instruments, so he can then downmix from 24/192 to 16/44, where HiRes streaming platforms then restream at claimed higher resolution, so audiophiles can then claim they hear 50Khz and more detail from the recording with their $6000 interconnects than you could ever get from cheap cable or physical media. Crazy days, my houseplant told me. But in all seriousness people are paying for hi res and simply enjoying a different mastering, not hearing hi res, its as big a scam as cables.

I love the black plastic plate and the piece of metal (aluminum?) that you use to adjust the left pinch roller with the nut. Is this original Sony or where did you get it from?

Tidal bitrate conversion is not working on iOS devices these days. I don't know why but they don't fix it for a long time. It works correctly on windows devices and Tidal connect also works fine.

I'm currently use Tidal as it was supposed to be better than the super popular Spotify in terms of frequency!

Thanks for the video, I wonder if it’s not a setting somewhere? I use Tidal from the Wiim mini, optical into my Topping DAC then into my receiver. I always get 96 or 192 when available. It sounds like something is creating a bottleneck on your end, either that or setting on Tidal. I know you have to enable it, I’m assuming you did. Kind of strange but Tidal is my favorite, much better since they got rid of the MQA in my opinion.

I agree - this is regulatory over reach by RUclips. Either have a minimum of a minute of copyright before you get a strike or pro-rate the 40min to give them 6 secs of revenue. Giving all the revenue to copyright owners is ridiculous.

You can always play 400Hz without a penalty (until someone gets it copyrighted ;)

They all do not allow to select a release year. As a rule the younger release is the worse a sound is: compressed, not natural, with bumps and deeps on a FR graph. All online services prefer the youngest over remastered releases (a sound is adjusted for a car or a gym). Fortunately I don’t listen to music released after 90s too much, I don’t have any subscription, and I can choose between CDs released prior 90s, or a vinyl.

Play and record your own content or royalty free content. As I understand it, RUclips only pulls it down if the copyright owner reports it. And the agents that are looking for violations get a percentage of anything they find.

I notice a lot of attention had been given to details and I cannot understand how you overlooked the pinch roller. If it was this shiny it must have been pretty gone already 2 years ago. As a rule of thumb if there is a slipping clutch the reel spindles need to be greased or lubricated. Of course if the tension is provided by the hub itself more viscous grease must be used.

it's frustrating, i would cut that part of the video, or mute the audio for 6 seconds, and re-upload it.

Hi :) What do you think about asking Tidal directly about this issue?

Great!

Be aware that the content posted by you it is much more important for many people who are passionate about this world of analog recording. Get over this unpleasantness, maybe you will manage to find quality audio sources without copyright and continue to post the same interesting content. I understand your frustration.

Excellent, thank you! 😊 Amazing how close both decks were to the source! However, what stood out for me the additional noise the Pioneer recording displayed when switching over to Sony at 18:54 Min., switching over to Source at 19:50 and back from Source to Pioneer at 19:54 (all without Dolby B or C). BTW, noise on “Hello” (starting at 7:01) was a bit too much for my taste on both so I would have opted for recording (and playing back) at least with Dolby B on this track. That’s of course no fault of those decks…

Nakamichi RX-202, Single pinch roller in a Sankyo transport. The same BX-150, but with the UDAR mechanism!

Уже комментировал под другим видео - скорее правообладатель должен платить создателю видео за рекламу, а не наоборот. Кто-то послушает, понравиться, купит альбом.

How much do you charge for fixing my ZX-9 Nakamichi and how do I send it to you? I lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I bought my deck brand new in the 80s I am a disabled senior and I still listen to all of my old tapes. I hope it's not very expensive to fix because I do not have much money yet. It is not running for more than 10 years now.

Cassette Comeback used to have his own music and used some of the RUclips Audio Library for that reason, it is what it is you can't use Copyrighted Music without licensing and even fair uses claims will cause you to lose your stats and can leading to enough copyright strikes and eventually suspension.

Nakamichi! I have owned one. Also an Akai and TEAC!

You should record a cassette for the free to use music on RUclips. To test the decks. I hope you don't get discouraged I really like your videos and I learn a lot from them👍.

As a fellow RUclipsr, I sympathize with you. The only solution for a now is for you to use music from their copyright free library

Frustrating ! I used music claimed to be Royalty free, and using it , video got flagged 4 days later for 1 tune used and about a week later the 2nd tune . Both tunes were from the same tub vieo and were listed as Royalty free , go figure ! Frustrating.. .

Can you tell me please is this WLA Labs azimuth cassete accurate? Thanks

Are you still around fixing the Nakamichi Tape Deck? My old Nakamichi ZX-9 that I purchased new in the 1980s is not working anymore for more than 10 years now. It still power on but not playing or rewinding or fast forward no more. I was thinking maybe it's the belt. Maybe you can give me some ideas on where to look or how to fix it myself. I really missed that deck now and I do not want to sell it but I have no money to get it fix. I am a senior now and my hobby is listening to music since I was a kid.

I bought a brand new Nakamichi ZX-9 in the 80s but it's not working anymore. It just quit playing on me now but it still powers on. It's been like that for more than 5 years now. I just cannot afford to get it fix and I do not know anyone in my area who knows how to fix a cassette deck. Willy Herman from California wants almost a thousand to fix it.

A real great job. Many thanks for the video.

Stupid, unserviceable design. Mine is intermittently blacking out and acting intermittent and probably has a bad battery. Not sure I want to fix it or buy another one either. EDIT: Cracked the faceplate during removal anyway, and that part doesn't seem to be available anywhere.

Thanks for the video. Is there any difference internally between A&D gx-z9100 and the gx-z7100?

Спасибо за ролик. Было бы интересно увидеть Объективные(!) параметры данного аппарата до и после Вмешательства. Как например, параметры THD, частотные ха-ки канала воспроизведения (не с самописными лентами, которые несут "почерк" дек, на которых они записаны) а с такими как, например: для THD канала воспроизведения - TEAC MTT-118, A-BEX TCC-142; и для частоток - TEAC MTT-256, 257, 356,357, A-BEX TCC-16..., 26... или аналогичными заводскими. С каналом записи все более менее настраиваемо и понятно, если воспроизведение работает корректно. А так, данное меропириятие скорее похоже на: выкинутые на детали деньги и потраченное в пустую время. И самой деки жалко, - аутентичность последнего творения Nakamichi нарушена.

pretty bad video, didn't show the most important part, and the voice is not clear, talked about lots of non-important part.

Thank you for the video. Great Japanese amplifier! Elna Silmic capacitors are also discontinued, bad news for as.

Если использовать не инструментальный режим входа, а линейный, завала нет вообще, прямая линия.

i have just watched all your videos on this Deck, i t gave you a lot of trouble, but You have Amazing Skills and Patience, i love that you saved this beast. Sending a lot of Love and Respect from UK.
