I also have other gear, like speakers and amplifiers/receivers, primarily vintage, though I still have a few headphone gear collecting dust.   I am just looking for a road bike in around the the 58cm frame size for the GF to ride around on.  TBH, I was thinking along the line of an earlier...

I have no idea if anyone here does cycling as another hobby but, anyone want to trade for a bike for a turntable? 

Hrmm I just noticed the meet is at 3pm, that might be tight for me.  I may not be able to make it.

  HP2 is gone to Ian.  Forgot about the electret, they are somewhere but, I doubt there will be any interest in them.

Look at all the gear everyone is bringing.  Sadly, I have nothing to offer, as those who already met know.  I think I have a pair of Etymotics ER-4S?  I can't remember, I bought them to use for a trip but, never used them and forgot what trip I was suppose to use them for.  I do have the ODAC...

Sunday no, but potentially Tuesday But, as a fair warning I got nothing besides Etymotic ER4S.

That could be an idea.  Especially if you want to use headphones.  My preamp doesn't have a headphone jack and it's pretty bright sounding, gah.

Quote:   Want to hear a SAR Lab amplifier?  I happen to have one sitting on my shelf.  But, the only catch is you have to either bring your own speakers or help me carry one set downstairs, haha.  But, I have reservations on my current preamp and it's ability to pair with the amp.

I like Bulova watches, got this one http://www.bulova.com/en_ca/watch/bulova/sport--2/98B104, but don't wear it too often due to my allergies to metals that have nickel.   So, now I wear this one instead, titanium, eco-drive and very light weight...

How much is a "bit of cash?"  :D

The snow will never melt!  It's snowing once more!

Quote:   That ain't too bad, you can find yourself a better P-Mount cartridge.  But, PM me later if you're really looking to buy.     Quote:   That is true, USB implementation is the big thing right now with DACs. I still look for soundcards with coax.spdif output just for...

Quote: It's all relative, depends on the table.  A cheaper upgrade would be getting a new cartridge or stylus.   Granted, if you're serious in upgrading your table, we can talk, haha.

Personally, I don't find DACs have a lot of differences unless you're looking for a certain sound signature nor if all the current technologies for USB DACs have any significant or audible difference.  A good DAC will always be a good DAC even aged like my EAD DPS-1000 as long it does the job...

The RE-0 are an okay price, I think they generally sell for less on HeadFi.  But NIB the price is fair.  The little dot is a good price.  Lack of speaker outputs makes them not for me.  I need both speaker and headphone outputs now.

Why currawong?  Why not just say admin?  lol wonder if he'll take offense to that.  Hudson Bay bears?

So, there is a bottlehead crack for sale on AK, and the price is now $165 + shipping (guy is in Seattle).  Anyone interested?  No speedball upgrade.

What is the exact problem with your CKS50?  Is it cutting in and out?  Or is it completely dead?  It could be two different issues.  Any technician can re-solder you new cables if you're willing to pay.  I can name one in particular.

Quote:   While I am a fan of a good coaxial myself.  At the price of the R-300, I'd probably be more interested in a nice pair of Focals or PMC.

Quote:   Woo it's been awhile since I last posted something on here.   Vintage speaker vs modern?  It really depends on your budget and what you can find in the vintage market.  I have never heard those KEF before, but I've heard plenty of KEF drivers so they might sound great.  The...

Quote:   Quote:     If it were me, I would pass on the Rega RP1 and take a good look at the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon, which I think Advance carries it.  The tone arm on the Pro-Ject is better and I think, well at least within the USA they come equipped with the Ortofon 2M Red, over...

Quote:   Nope, I don't think they carry anymore headphones.  I go there on occasion to poke around.  Bill does have nice stuff, wish I had 4.5k to spend on a pair of spendor speakers.

Quote: Really?  You haven't gone down to Creative Audio for an audition of the 325?  I think Advance also has them too.

Quote:   Is it me or does their RCA cable only come with one connector?  That mean I have to buy to hook up a CDP!

Well, what I need is to remake a new phono cable for one of my turntables.  It's a 5-pin din male to RCA phono with ground.  The one that came with the turntable was a butchered mess of a Bang and Olufsen phono din with a portion cut off with RCA attached as the original had their own...
