    AKG K-1000 temple replacement pads?

    AKG K-1000 temple replacement pads?

    So the pads on my pair have reached the end of their journey. I've tried to order replacements through the local AKG distributor in Macedonia, but all pleads have turned up nothing.   Any ideas where I could get some replacements?   Thanks.

    Pro-Ject Audio RPM 9.1

    A manual, suspensionless, belt-drive turntable. The vestigial plinth is constructed of thick MDF. It’s almost completely round and has only a small protrusion on which the included [Pro-Ject 9cc] tonearm is mounted. The platter is precision-machined from 4cm-thick acrylic and is topped with...

    Audio-GD HDAM to replace OP27?

    Although I have been enjoying my PhonoClone3 build immensely [had it build - no real DIY talent here anyway], the tinkering bug won't leave me be. Since talking with the designer of the PhonoClone3, there doesn't seem to be any possibility for opamp rolling because of oscillation issues [the...

    Transformers for Balanced to SE conversion.

    Thank you all. I have contacted both Cinemag and Sowther. Since with shipping both options come out to be the same, I am a bit hesitant as to which one to pick. I know this might boil down to personal preference, but I can't really afford to try both and then decide.

    Transformers for Balanced to SE conversion.

    So, the addition of two monoblock amplifiers has me left with a lack of space to fit my two racks side by side. Sadly, the only possible alternate location for the "digital" rack requires approximately 25 feet of cabling between the DAC output stage and the preamplifier. Now, the DAC output...

    This is an update to a previous post: Harman Kardon HD 990 Output Stage Having lived with the thing for almost half a year now, after mild tweaking, I decided it was time to recase it into something a bit nicer. An added benefit is the physical separation of the PSU into a separate box...
