Low-latency wireless audio link for gaming?
I game on a Nintendo Switch, PS1, and older consoles. I would like wireless headphones. My current solution is plugging wired headphones into the receiver or directly into the Switch. I just want to get rid of the cord The Switch has Bluetooth audio, but it's widely regarded as bad. And that...- trains are bad

Hagerman Bugle built from kit and installed in nice aluminum case. Originally used 2 lead acid sealed batteries which are included but are long-dead. It's possible they will take a charge but I would plan on replacing them with new ones or with 9V batteries. Amp doesn't work because of the dead...- trains are bad

Here is a Hagerman Bugle phono pre-amp kit. I say "kit" because it needs a little work. It's already built and assembled into a nice enclosure, but the sealed 12V batteries are currently dead and will either need charged or most likely they will need to be replaced. I originally had a charger...- trains are bad

IEMs for business
I just learned that there is such a thing as Noise Reducing in-ear headphones. Bose being one brand. I really like Bose Quiet Comfort head phones for airplane use, but they are too bulky and hurt my ears after a while. NR IEMs might be the ultimate, but I'm not sure I want to shell out $300 to...- trains are bad

IEMs for business
Sound quality isn't the most important thing, but if the sound quality is totally horrible I'm still not going to like them. Mostly I need something with good sound isolation. The ranking list was helpful. At least I can make sure the ones I'm thinking of buying aren't on the F- list with...- trains are bad

IEMs for business
I don't like IEMs and these will probably not be used to listen to music. They will be used to listen to audio books while in noisy environments like airplanes. That also means they will get dragged all over the globe in my backpack, and possibly lost one day, so I don't want to spend more than...- trains are bad

Portable amps with crossfeed
My old Total Bithead is dead due to a tragic battery-leakage incident. I bought it 10+ years ago, and have not been "keeping up" with the market, but now I see that Headroom has changed it business model quite a bit. They no longer offer this amp or an equivalent. However, the good news is that...- trains are bad

Amps with crossfeed
Edit: I think I was supposed to put this in another forum. My bad; mods can delete if needed. Basically I'm looking for a replacement for my old Total Bithead and want a portable amp with some kind of crossfeed circuit. Or a stand-alone crossfeed unit, which also doesn't seem to exist.- trains are bad

what is the modern replacement for minidisc?
I was just about to buy the R-05, figuring if it has bad tag browsing I won't care that much because I can use different SD cards for music and recording, but the manual says it does not support gapless playback...an unbelievable oversight for such a device.- trains are bad

what is the modern replacement for minidisc?
That's what I was afraid of. I hate when technology goes backwards. Do things like the ipod touch have advanced recording capabilities, or any recording at all? Last time I checked, they didn't.- trains are bad

what is the modern replacement for minidisc?
Looks pretty good. I like that it uses sd cards. Does anyone have any experience with its output amp quality or its utility as a DAP? that wouldn't be the primary use, but the good thing about MD was it was pretty good at both playback and recording.- trains are bad

what is the modern replacement for minidisc?
A couple years ago I sold my beloved RH1 minidisc on this forum thinking I was done with DAPs, and would buy a modern player when I got back into it. Because I could only fit a few CDs on a disc, and I refused to use sonicstage to transfer music. Well, I am learning a language now and I want to...- trains are bad

New vinyl (long, rambling)
I need to add some vinyl. Since I got married and became a wage slave, I don't get to the thrift stores and garage sales, and those sources have really dried up anyway. I'm probably looking for records available new. I like my 30th anniversary DSOTM, so I'm hopeful there are good quality...- trains are bad
