Hi all, I've got an old Pioneer SX-1250 that I'm having problems with. I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but it outputs for about a minute before I hear a "click" and then the signal going dead. This happens regardless of what the input is. I've noticed that at louder volumes (~11...

Hey All, I've got a Pioneer SX-1250 that I'm planning on using with a pair of speakers, but I don't know which ones? I picked this unit up for free from a friend, so I don't know a huge amount about it. I've heard that it's one of the better vintage Pioneer amps. Now then, I've looked...

After listening to a DVD-A version of Orff's Carmina Burana this past weekend, I'm looking to get a good redbook recording of it. Does anyone have any recommendations of good Carmina Burana recordings? Conductor/Performers/Label and possibly a Catalog Number would be helpful. Also, why do...

I'll go ahead and start up a thread for meet impressions and pictures and what-not. Thanks to Tim at Experience Audio for graciously hosting yet another meet. His space is much appreciated, as is his breadth of equipment he had available. Thanks Tim!

I've been debating posting this for a while now, but held off, just in case... Anyhow, if anyone's talked to Head-Fi member 'cary' in the past week, please let me know (or, alternatively, please let him know to contact me). Cary, if you're reading this, please respond to my e-mails.

I'm curious, other than the oil change every 3000 miles, what other routine maintenence should I be performing on my car? Since I purchased it, I've only changed the oil, oil filters, air filters.. and done nothing else to it... but I hear I'm supposed to be doing some maintenence every 15k...

Hi All, So I recently went on a DIY IC adventure... Bought some Canare GS-6 and some Canare F-10s (All they had around or something..). Anyhow, so I soldered the signal wire to the center connector on all the RCAs and folded the ground over the shield on all four... It's continuous on each...

Alright.. so this is sorta rehashing an age-old discussion.. Where can I get binaural CDs now that binaural.com is out of business? I've ordered the From the Cave CD, the two AUracle CDs, and two others from Tower, but past this, I really can't find any more binaural CDs. Anyone know...

I think this has been discussed a few times, but I can't get a good consensus on what's good, what'll fit, etc, so here goes. I'm planning on buying some Canare 4E6S cable. Is this the 'Star-Quad' that everyone refers to? Is it good cable? I'm planning on using this for both ICs and a...

Hi, I'm curious if anyone knows any cheap sources for replacement Hakko 903 iron tips? Thanks much

Bueller Bueller?

So I have a Grado 15-foot extention.. This wasn't happening at first, but now, every time I walk around and if the place where the two cables connect (headphone --> headphone extension) hits the ground.. I get static. Any way to fix this short of buying a new cable?... Thanks

I've been getting into tubes lately, and had a few questions on some of the tube 'lingo'.. so if any of you tube gurus out there could help.. Like: What exactly are 'triple mica' spacers? (Perhaps pictures illustrating them would be helpful? ) A lot of tubes, especially tubes used in...

Hey All! [Windows 95/98/ME users, you can stop reading here... unless you really feel like seeing what you're missing out on without Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP...] Anyhow, I've got yet another Microsoft advisory to let you all know about... Announced just yesterday by Microsoft, MS03-039...

Hey all.. Another hellish day in IT support. For all you home users currently unaware of the new security hole (that, as most IT support personnel already know,) it's currently being heavily exploited by bored teenagers around the world. Read this.. Then go to Windows Update and get...

To continue in my path of uselessness ... Who got the coveted 450,000th post? (I know.. I know.. nobody cares!...)

Vote for only one of each of the categories: Where?: North-end (Everett-ish) South-end (Federal Way/Tacoma-ish) Eastside (Mercer Island, Bellevue, Kirkland-ish) Seattle-ish (Seattle, Tukwila, Northgate, etc.) Other (Bellingham, Spokane, Bremerton, Sequim, etc.) Anywhere (I can drive...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=15054 While I'm not a big proponent of eBay posting, I figured this one was appropriate, as there is a BIN set at $25 (and a minimum bid of $20). It is very similar to the D-33. Find more information by searching the Portable Audio forum.

Stemming off the recent Linux and Laptop threads... I'm considering perhaps another server system with linux on it. Those dual P3 systems look really tempting. However, as it'd have to be in the corner and I don't have another KVM set around.. can anyone recommend a good KVM switch? I've...

It's summer break (for some of us).. it's busy.. but who knows.. it's three months long... It's also been a few months since the last meet in March.. any interest in another meet in the coming month(s)?

Just wondering if anyone has used those Sandisk Ultra CompactFlash cards yet.. I'm thinking of buying one, but if the benefit to my camera [Casio QV-3000EX] is negligible, then it wouldn't be very cost effective to go with a Ultra as opposed to, say, a larger card. Thanks much

Just FYI everyone: I got my Sennheiser MX300 earbuds from that Rolling Stone magazine offer a few months back. .. So look for it in the mail!

Happy Birthday God of all things PCDP. Have a great one!
