perryinva, many thanks. I assumed the part wouldn't be available and had visions of somehow customising a new switch. That link looks a much better idea. :yes: Cheers. EDIT = Now done, all functioning correctly. The guide was spot on, highly recommended.

Hi, I was doing pre-for-sale checks on my 505, (after approx 6 months of no use) and found the dolby on/off switch won't latch, set to off. Does anyone know, before I go in, if there are replacement switches available or if the existing one is fixable? Thanks in advance.

Kamagong, The Marantz integrated in the background, is that a PM64, if you say a 94 I'll scream with jealousey!

Wow, I remember ALL these same things, you will overcome them. Important points already mentioned. Practice = number 1 Play along to favourite tracks, it is for enjoyment after all. Links already posted, very useful. More? The ringing on your drums, in a live, with band, enviroment...

Some more for the illuminated hall of fame.... Another Denon 44HX and Denon 810 with Nak 505 and Sony MD for good measure, along with a Marantz CD330 (no glow so no show) and a Sony WMD6C, that's all I currently have.

Good advice, unless you are willing and able to service a deck yourself. Any 2nd hand, belt drive, suspended chassis deck WILL need attention even if its only for adjustment.(Unless from dealer...) I have to admit I fall in the anti 1200 group, but it may be right for you. Rega P1, yes a...

There's also band names, for starters... Divide & Conquer Joy Division

I did have a really long list until I removed those already mentioned! 2 4 6 8 Motorway - Tom Robinson Magnetic Fields 1 - Jean Michel Jarre (many more by him) Karn Evil No 9 - Emerson Lake & Palmer (a few more by them too) Barclay James Harvest - The Great 1974 Mining Disaster Song 2 -...

Lm4562HA Has anyone found a CHEAP source for these(LM4562HA)? I have them in mind for a couple of projects, 63 included. (Prices I've found are a bit scary) Thanks in advance

You will definitely enjoy the 44. I had the 44Hx when I was a lot younger and still have a fair few recording made by it. I recently snuffled another for peanuts, it needed belts, partial dismantle of the mech. for good clean up/lube. There were also some dodgy solder joints and the plug in...

THIS is what I use lone practice for, then, when you've mastered and integrated a new idea/sound, let it loose on the band and see their faces, on the next meet you can be sure another member been working hard to top you, BRILL!

The three head decks have the instant advantage of 'live' tuning by ear, makes the process much faster. I have owned several but used many different models. Currently I have the RX-505e, which I am totally satisfied with, with the addition of both sides of the tape without attention. So to...

Wow! Just read through the whole thread, I've lost count of the ones I didn't know or had forgotten about. (It'll take me years to catch up now) Three of my faves I've not seen specifically mentioned are... Genensis.....Trespass Pink Floyd...Wish You Were Here Jethro Tull...Stormwatch...

Hello! Just picked up on this, sorry to be late. The main point of the user/deck experience, in the case of the Rega P1, is that it is as close to plug 'n' play as you can get on a decent deck. This entails putting the belt on, popping on the platter, winding the counterweight up to the...

^ Ok, I spoke to a mate who had one of these in the past. YES the meters should light up via a specific switch.(battery saving?) so hush my beak! On his he had a faulty switch and dodgy connection to the bulbs. Maybe worth a look...
