Post A Photograph Of Your Turntable
It does indeed! I can't get over the absolutely pitch black background, quieter than any belt drive table I've heard. Baltic birch, to be exact. I actually haven't glued the layers together yet, been too busy listening to take it back apart. Will stain or varnish, leaving the lamination...- calipilot227

Vintage Stax repair and maintenance
Hey guys, Taking the plunge into Stax with an SR80 (well, SR-84). $50 eBay gamble, we'll see if they even work. I expect the earpads will be shot, does anyone know if the regular Lambda series pads will fit?- calipilot227

Skip the Spin Clean, get a proper vacuum cleaning machine like the Record Doctor V or KAB EV-1. Makes a huge difference.- calipilot227

New M8 DAC from SMSL (9018/XMOS)
Did that, no joy. Windows won't even register that it's connected in the device manager. Sent an email to Massdrop to start the exchange process.- calipilot227

New M8 DAC from SMSL (9018/XMOS)
Got mine in yesterday. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll have to send it back. I couldn't get the USB input to work on any of my computers (Windows 7 and Windows 10). Even after installing the drivers, I couldn't get the computer to recognize it. Tried several USB cables as well. Anyone else...- calipilot227

Calling All "Vintage" Speaker Owners
The 3.2s are good, but if you look around (somewhere other than eBay, of course), you might find a pair of 5.2s for that price. And they're a whole lot better.- calipilot227

If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...
All you need is a little EQ for that. I use Poweramp on my Galaxy Note 3, it can turn them into downright bass monsters. They respond very well to EQ thanks to their naturally flat response.- calipilot227

If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...
Just bought my third and final pair. Won't be selling them again, ever. I may even get custom molds in the near future, although the triflanges aren't bad once you get used to them. A quick question for all fellow ER4 lovers; I'm looking into getting a new DAP, either the Fiio X3 or iBasso...- calipilot227

I was once using my ER4s late at night in my dorm room, and couldn't hear the fire alarm until my roommate alerted me False alarm, thankfully. But yes, the isolation is THAT good.- calipilot227

Please help me with my survey (about storage)
My music library (all FLAC, mostly 16/44.1) is about 320gb total. I store it on a 1tb Western Digital Caviar Black in my PC to free up room on the SSD.- calipilot227
