    I love working for...

    There's an old rock song I'm struggling to remember. I believe it has the lyric in it "I love working for..." and then like a 3 letter acronym music label. It's NOT Lynyrd Skynyrd "Workin' For MCA". It just escapes me at the moment and maybe someone knows...

    Considering new DURABLE headphones.

    It certainly doesn't. I've moved on from audio to motorsports. Needing something cheap. I'll get some Beyers when I'm an old fart with money.

    Considering new DURABLE headphones.

    I have a pair of JVC RX700's I've owned for 4 years that I sleep in every night. Aside from some pad wear, they're in like new condition. This is the kind of durability I'm looking for. Wondering if I should step up to the RX900, just replace the RX700 pads, or go with another option. The...

    Need a new Amp/receiver, looking for suggestions

    I was looking for something in the $100 range. Something used.  ~ 50W/ch with several inputs.    The SX-6 is a pretty solid unit actually. You can get 'em for as cheap as $50 if you look hard. I'm just wondering if there was something better.

    Need a new Amp/receiver, looking for suggestions

    Hi guys. I never got big into dedicated source stuff so I'm hoping you can help me out. My dad built these speakers in college ('73) and by the time I got my hands on them, the drivers needed to be replaced. Having done that I decided to power them with the same receiver he used, the Pioneer...

    Pioneer SX-6 Stereo stopped working

    On advice from another, I thought I'd try my luck here.   So I powered up my stereo up the other day, I heard a pop from the speakers and then nothing. No sound. The tuner and buttons still works. No output from headphone jack either. The fuse appears fine. Before this problem, sometimes I...

    Pioneer SX-6 Stereo stopped working

    When I turned on my SX-6 the other day, my speakers popped and then I couldn't get any sound. The tuner and other buttons still work. Is there anyway to know went wrong and is it possible to fix?

    Song that sounds like this?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24Oge_5kHKk   The girl singing in this video does the "You need me man I dont need you" chorus with the exact same cadence and tone as in another song. Pretty sure the song I'm thinking of is a bit more classy than this one, and I ask here because it may even be...

    Are Koss Classic Pro-4AA still worthwhile

    Thanks these do look pretty sexy. Glad to hear that they're still worth the coin. I don't normally like to EQ the equipment I use, but I may make an exception if I get these. Thanks again for restoring confidence!

    Are Koss Classic Pro-4AA still worthwhile

    According to this review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R39ESMUEIVKJDY/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00004Z7G9&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode=#wasThisHelpful these are not what they once were, can anyone confirm?

    Explorations in Space and Time

    Huge let down. I actually thought the quality was terrible. The levels are inconsistent, and on many tracks so low as to be non-existent.

    Ipod Nano DAC/sound quality by generation

    I just pulled my 2nd Gen back out. My opinion of the DAC is not a pleasant one. It sounds... forced. Even when I run my Asus D1 through my 80's Pioneer SX-6 receiver, it sounds a lot more relaxed, despite the audible 50hz buzz.   Sorry to bump an old thread, but I was compelled to reply.

    Porting Math Help

    So, I'm recycling an enclosure, and I was thinking of putting the Dayton Ref. 12's in there. Specifically, RSS315HF-4. But! I've never done this before, so I don't know what's what.   Given: Vb=1 cu ft Vas=85.1 Qes=.58 Qms=3.12 Fs=25 Qts=.489   Calculated:  ...

    AudioTechnica PEQ3 vs Esoteric Sounds Rek-O-Kut MKII vs TCC TC-750LC

    So, the PEQ3 is giving me a it of trouble in that it's output is below line level at only 150mV.   I'm looking at a replacement, and the TCC TC-750LC and the Esoteric Sounds Rek-O-Kut MKII both look like good choices with twice the output voltage and a slightly better signal/noise.  ...

    Intro To Vinyl, how's this stuff look?

    I'd grab it. I just hooked up my Pioneer PL-7 that my dad gave me for free. It looks to be from the same time period. It cost me $100 to replace the cart and find a decent preamp. And it sounds awesome over my relatively quaint system. Totally worth it.
