This looks like the perfect thread to share something that happened to me today. I work in an elementary school. A teacher left an ancient "suitcase" record player outside her classroom with a note saying "FREE" on it. The player was at least 30 years old and it's probably not a stretch to guess...

Thanks! I was hoping I could locate a manual for it!

A few years ago my parents gave me their old stereo system. It's all Sony components (that I assume are all mid-level) manufactured between 1988-1990. The turntable model is PS-LX430. I have a few 180 and 200-gram Blue Note/Prestige reissues that sound really good to me on the turntable...

Oops...I meant to post this in the Headphones forum area. Sorry!

Hi everyone. I'm using my Playstation 3 with the JVC SU-DH1 Dolby headphone amp for gaming and movies. My current headphone is the DT880. I'd like to try some IEMs ($150-$250 price range), particularly for movies. I need a really good seal, because I'll be running a really loud air conditioner...

I bought my very first amp and some DT880s from Jan. I was crossing over from years of listening to cheap earbuds and was really worried about all the money I was spending. Jan made the experience one of my most enjoyable purchases ever.

Here's a grainy pic. I really need to update my source and amp.

Quote: The huge advantage for home use for me is the ability to convert LPs to digital with the duets ADCs I'm into vinyl, so there's another plus for the Duet I wasn't aware of. I'm thinking my plan now may be to get the Duet and look into a Pico further down the road. Thanks everyone!

I'd like to set up a computer rig for my MacBook using Darths, DT880, and occasionaly Grado SR225. I placed a Pico preorder over a week ago, and haven't heard anything about payment request or being put on the list yet. My gut is telling me to be patient and wait for a Pico, but the notion of...

Whoa, this is getting way too ontological for a thread about DACS!

Hi Justin, Please add me to the pre-order list: 1 Pico with DAC All Clear USB: 1 foot Thanks!
