So my wife just gave me back a Sony MD MZ-R70 that she stole from me about 15 years ago, but it's missing the battery. Anybody know what the replacement is? I'm finding contradictory info online.

Awesome. I have #97 and have the signed box here somewhere, too.

Currently grooving on my RSA Predator hooked up to my laptop with Westone W60s.

Somebody looking for old farts? It will be 20 years in January since my first post.

Fun to see this thread still kicking. Guitars are what got me out of my headphone addiction. Sold off everything except a Grado HF1 for old times sake and an AKG 601 because they sound very neutral and are revealing enough to make them effective for critical listening. Started playing and...

Me too! Although not sure I'll make both days.  

Awesome! Hopefully I'll run into some of my old headphone buddies! But hope it doesn't rekindle some old habits.

Quote: $500 for a refret seems a bit steep to me, especially for a guitar without binding.  The fact that it's a vintage piece shouldn't make the job any harder or more expensive, but you do want a very experienced luthier to do the job.  There is always a premium for a skilled technician...

I recently picked up a Zoom G3, primarily for practicing with headphones.  However, the unit comes with tons of features and I'm really happy with the purchase. At $150, it may be the best audio purchase I've ever made in terms of bang for the buck.  It has 22 amp sims with cabs, and 94 effects...

Anybody compare the Shure and/or AKG to Beyer DT770?

That looks like a winner.  The frequency response seems to be what I'm looking for and I'm a fan of AKG.  I will research those more, for sure.

I need to get a set of closed backed headphones for tracking in my home studio, particularly for vocals and guitar.  The closed back headphone of choice these days seems to be the ATH M50, but some reviews say the midrange is a little laid back and the bass is a bit heavy.  This is not for...

I've never been a fan of Line 6 products.  Their effects don't sound realistic to me.  I did look at the Pandora Mini but that's $100 and I'm not sure about the sound quality either.  If I was going to spend more money I'd probably buy an Apogee Jam and play through my iPad and Garageband.  ...

My guitar amp doesn't have a headphone jack but does have a preamp out.  With the proper cable (1/4" to RCA) can I plug the preamp out to my CTH headphone amp?  This would give me a sweet headphone jack for my late night guitar noodling!

Sorry for kicking a somewhat dead thread but I had a question and thought it might be better to ask here than start a new one.   I have a small guitar practice amp that I'm very happy with except that it doesn't have a headphone jack for late night practicing.  It does however have a preamp...

I'm not really a portable audio guy anymore but using the S3 with Neutron music player, high quality FLAC files, Predator and RE-262 prototype IEMs (got them from Fang before the RE IEMs came out) sounds pretty good to me.  I've had a few different portable setups over the years but all things...

Makes sense at this point to wait, given the storm.  I was going to suggest a mid January meet as that is enough time before the spring meet but it might also be overkill.  Maybe we have to go back to one NY meet per year.

Mullet, sent you a PM with some general meet info.

I can't believe this thread still lives...

420 is code for marijuana. Mullet, not sure if Bozebuttons contacted you. I'll pm you tomorrow with some more details.

It would be great if one of you young bucks could organize a meet.  Bozebuttons and immtbiker have already run so many of these things; it's time for some fresh blood.  Funds are available so no cash outlay is necessary.  The veterans are always available to provide tips, advice and moral...
