#295 here!

I'm no expert on bass heavy phones, but I've heard the Monster Beats, and I didn't like them, especially for $300. For $300, you can get much better headphones. I can't really recommend too much on what you want, but I liked the new closed can Shures when I listened to them at CanJam. I...

Just got a Rega Planar 3 + Elys Cart

I will be receiving a Rega Planar 3 with an Elys cart soon. I'm also probably going to get the Cambridge 640p. What are some supplies that I should get to properly maintain a table and records? Some suggestions for websites on how to properly set up a table and maintain it would be nice as well...

Quote: Originally Posted by PaulyT Looks like ungrounded output jacks? That could definitely cause the hum. How's your soldering technique? OK, tried soldering it. Hum is better now, but not completely gone. Still very noticeable. I'll see if I can resolder it, but I think I did...

Just opened up my amp. I think I may have found the problem. Seems like there is a loose ground wire that was never soldered. I'll check it out.

Quote: Originally Posted by MLA Well, I took off the bottom plate and took a look inside, and there is no loose ground. In fact, everything is very well soldered into place and shows the signs of good craftmanship. I've also tried to replace the stock 12AX7 with two other driver...

Just got off the phone with Todd. Ordered: June 4th Scheduled for: August 5th However, Grado ran out of headbands this week so shipments will be delayed...

Quote: Originally Posted by revolink24 I would just like an estimate of when I am getting mine, could people who just got theirs shipped out post what their order numbers were? Thanks a lot if you can. Order numbers won't help because Todd doesn't just sell HF-2s. You should ask...

Thanks for the wonderful read Goobi. I will be going to Singapore at the end of August to visit family, and will definitely make a trip to the Adelphi center.

So, I got my fully upgraded Jade today, but I think there's something wrong with it: 1. There is a noticeable hum coming from the amp. The left headphone out has more hum than the right headphone out. Also, the high impedance setting generates more hum than the low impedance setting, and...

The Elekit TU882 seems to be getting some buzz recently, but I've never heard it myself so you will need to do some research on it. Skylab did a review of it that you might want to look into. I think it's $440 including everything.

As many people have stated - if you want the most bang for buck, you should stick with Panasonic plasmas.

Well...between UPS, USPS, and FedEx, that's pretty much all the carriers in the US... DHL is the other one, but they suck even more and they don't even do domestic shipping anymore in the US. Stuff happens, you just have to make sure you pack everything very well and insure it. As for USPS, I...

Quote: Originally Posted by MCC One word: Samsung. I like Samsung LCDs, but the Panasonic plasmas will have better blacks than Samsungs at the same price or more. If you are set on getting a 1080p set, I would check out the Panasonic plasmas.

At that size, it's kind of a waste of money to go with the 1080p. There is no HDTV content at 1080p. The only thing that is really 1080p is Blu-ray, and it's very hard to tell the difference at that size between 1080p and 720p. And the whole issue with blacks. Plasma would be the way to go...
