Thanks, guys. Steve, that's exactly why I'm not looking to buy a used one--unless it came from a top shop with a warranty and none of that is easy to find. Certainly not inexpensively. WC, those are interesting sites. The hifiengine one does not have a service manual, the analogue one does--but clev...

In the US East Coast, $300 won't get anyone to do more than dust off the case on a 582. Apparently the mechanism that makes the play/FF parts engage senses tension and has to be adjusted in some obscure way that involves a lot of labor just to access it, and even from looking at the manual, the proc...

I want to transfer a large number of high quality (metal, dolby, recording on a Nakamichi 582) tapes to digital, and the old tape deck (Nak 582) needs some adjustments that may cost an arm and a leg. Since I only want to PLAY the old tapes...can anyone recommend a similarly high quality tape deck to...

dir /s lists all subdirectories as well as the current directory level. The /b option shows 'bare" information (no frills) for each file.

I'll bet a dollar on the problem being one of two things: Either there is a "packing lock" that has to be removed before the turntable can be used, or The damned thing is DOA broken. Check the docs for any packing locks, and if there are none, it is probably DOA, the widget that tells the tone arm "...

Koz, it is not that bad. Whether it is an old WIndows drive format (FAT, FAT32) or a new one (NTFS) there are file recovery programs that will examine the file allocation table (FAT) and present you with a list of all deleted files. Typically the first letter of each file shows up as a ? because tha...

"The volume panels in Vista do not feature balance controls over each main slider?" Not here. But that may be part of a whole other issue, there are persistent rumors that the RIAA has somehow forced some manufacturers into disabling stereo mix functions. NO idea where the true problem is, just that...

Koz- "On Win XP," Doesn't matter, things are different in Vista, and perhaps different for each device as well. Viruses can be a bitch on the Mac. I spent plenty of time troubleshooting "bomb" iucons and hitting restart and clearing out mutilple startups and yes, even attacks, in the early Mac days....

Koz- "A deskside PC will do anything," Deskside? Never heard of that, but my deskt op which is actually a tower, had even more troubles with sound cards and internal noise problems, which is why I didn't choose to buy a laptop for the job--but have been using one anyway. Mac shamack, I've been using...

Koz, I've tried the L-R control and it only affects PLAYBACK here. Did nothing for recording volume. The cables are as clean as they can be, no problem there, and even reversing them won't make the 3db difference that's coming out of the tape player. What can I tell you: My audiophile player refuses...
