I'm trying to find out some good bookshelf speakers and a sub to pair them with so I can try to narrow down my search a bit more. I'm primarily going to be using these for movies and music. A good amount of techno so tight bass with some punch is what I'm after, but I'm not a real "bass head" or...

Does anyone know if a Panasonic SL-H301 TT is any decent? I've been searching around and haven't really turned up anything regarding it. Doesn't seem like anything special but I figured I would try asking here, maybe someone else has come across one :rolleyes: Thanks!

As of late I've noticed that my DT880 Pro (250ohm) are having issues with bass response. It sounds as though they are unable to handle certain low notes and I get this nasty vibrating/buzzing as if the diaphragm is going to give. It's cringeworthy. I've read things like this could be caused by a...

The right channel suddenly died out of no where, and the left channel only barely comes in if the gain switch is off(when it's on it dies). It sounds like your car radio does when it is between 2 stations that are fighting each other and one is a talk show and one is music with some static...

How can I determine if a receiver has an integrated amp or just a pre-amp? Sorry if this is a silly question but I can't seem to find the information..thanks

Curious and wanted to get some others opinions on this. Taking a laptop, a Macbook Pro for instance, with everything default; including the built in speakers you are listening to the music through. Will lossless really make a very noticeable difference over mp3 (320kbs) or is it just the placebo...

I'm looking for some good speaker manufacturers to purchase a set for my vinyl set up. Any suggestions? It's my 1st vinyl rig and isn't too great so I'm not really looking for anything too good right now. I want them to be pretty decent, something that will last me a while and through some...

Just as the title says :). Just received my amp yesterday night, but I had to wait until tonight to transfer music to my ipod and charge it (that was a long day at work lol) anyway, so here's what I have going right now - iMod w/ rockbox iPod 5.5g 80GB - ALO LUX-FEP 18awg occ V2 interconnect -...

After a purchase of a pair of DT880 Pro's, I have begun looking for a fairly good portable amp to drive them. After searching around for a while and reading other topics with the same question I have narrowed it down to 3 - mini^3 -Minibox E+ -Meiers headsix   I think im leaning more...

I've purchased a pair of DT880 Pro's(250ohm) and would love to find an nice portable amp that goes good with them. I've read around that Super Macro IV and hornet are good for them.   Though in some posts it seemed as though Super Macro was good for smaller groups of music and I listen to a...

Hi everyone. I have been trying to get into vinyl for a while now and am having a hard time figuring out how to set up everything. It seems like terminology is wishy-washy and everything and depends on who you're talking to. I have purchased a Turntable, a Technics SL-1950 it has a cartridge...

The who and that what goes where? I'm new to vinyl and pretty confused. I bought a Technics SL-1950 (any review on it btw?) and am trying to figure out everything I need to know as far as taking care of the TT and vinyl to the setup. How do I know if it came with a cartidge already and all that...

I just got a Technics SL-1950 and am so happy to finally jump into vinyl, woo! Anyway I am completely new to this and am in need of some help. What else do I need for it? It's just a turntable as of now. What is maintenance for a record player and what supplies would I need to adequetely take...

Looking at a TT right now, thorens TD-160 and it seems that theyre a good model. It has original arm and a shure 91ED(if it helps) it's going for $100 but i suspect itll be $120-$130. Question: Is this a good deal? It's in "good working condition" the wood has a few scratches, but is this a good...

Hey guys, long time lurker, never really posted. Anyway, i've been looking for a decent record-player and found one on ebay that I'd be willing to get but in the description the seller states that when he hooked it up the player to his speakers he didn't get very high volume without getting...

What kind of places are best for finding headphone amps and other equipment? I've tried a few local music stores and they acted like I was crazy, maybe it's just this ass backwards town i moved to. Any suggestions of places to look? x.x  I know there is online retailers..but you can't try out...
