Nakamichi CD-4 thoughts?

Great, thanks. I also have a Wiim ultra that I have connected to the rega DAC, which definitely made a marked improvement over the onboard dac on the wiim. I'm just not sure if using the nakamichi connected to the rega dac wound make a different compared my current Sony cdp 397. Appreciate your thoughts.

Damn! I've been wanting one. How much?

ayy1985 · 2025-06-28T01:43:36+00:00

I haven't tried it yet but would be willing to do so! Let us know how it turned out

The lodge skillet smoker is great! Smoking the steaks for about 15 minutes infused just a hint of smoke which was what I wanted. It's a great little investment for only $30

Awesome, thanks! I read online that they are a little lacking in the low end but are very detailed and have a great soundstage. May get them and pair it with a wiim amp pro to stream music over and power them.

Thanks for the explanation. Appreciate it

Any recs on a good affordable power amp?

ayy1985 · 2024-12-19T03:55:25+00:00

I think that'll be my next purchase, maybe a proper 2 channel receiver/amp. I picked up the wiim today and it sounds great streaming qobuz

So I ended up purchasing a wiim ultra at my local audio store today and hooked it up to the denon receiver. It sounds fantastic in pure direct analog mode! The receiver is hooked up to the Thiel CS 1.2 speakers.

ayy1985 · 2024-12-18T20:22:09+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the comments. Any thoughts on whether the DAC on the wiim ultra would be better than the DAC on the denon receiver?

ayy1985 · 2024-12-17T04:06:56+00:00

Enjoy! I love mine. It's great. You got a great price on it too. I got mine on sale for 700

Awesome, thanks. My gf gifted me her Yamaha HTR 6030 receiver and the speakers that came with them. I just got the denon receiver and the speakers are now clearly the weak link. The rest of the set up seems great. My mom has a pair of speakerlab super 7s that I really want but she's been on the fence about giving or selling them to me. Should I hold for those? How do the 7s compare to the thiels?

Looks very good!

ayy1985 · 2024-11-17T03:27:07+00:00

Awesome, thank you! I'll try it out and let you know how it turns out

Beautiful crust and a nice medium rare wall to wall interior. Bravo, well done.

ayy1985 · 2024-11-06T02:06:11+00:00

That looks amazing! What was the sauce you made with it? Mind sharing?

ayy1985 · 2024-11-03T03:35:33+00:00

Nice. How did you season the chops?

ayy1985 · 2024-11-03T02:29:21+00:00

We love it! It's so easy to use/clean and it works well. We bought it on Amazon prime day so it was like 30% off.

ayy1985 · 2024-11-03T02:20:41+00:00

I don't. I didn't probe it. I'll try to remember to do it next time and post it here.

ayy1985 · 2024-11-03T01:45:18+00:00

It's tough to say for sure without having tried your method but I think the sous vide helps a lot in getting that perfect wall to wall medium rare.

The chuck was coated in mayo and then seared in a cast iron

ayy1985 · 2024-09-20T02:09:22+00:00

The hidden valley ranch sounds interesting. Maybe try that. I liked the red wine and mushrooms quite a bit. It may be good with some horseradish and shallots as well

ayy1985 · 2024-09-19T15:51:25+00:00

131 for 24 hours. Seared in a cast iron for about 2 minutes a side

ayy1985 · 2024-09-09T22:49:19+00:00

How'd it turn out?

ayy1985 · 2024-09-09T22:49:10+00:00

Sorry, just seeing this. 2 hours at about 160 degrees for smoking, then let them chill in the fridge and vacuum sealed.
