Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!
This is the last of the "wave" watches from Omega. I was going to buy the 2254.50 (which was the James Bond Seamaster) but got a great deal on the 300 Chrono- AudioArby

Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
Receivers and speaker synergy is important. My Realistic STA-2000D sounded way too bassy with a pair of HPM-700 speakers (which sound FANTASTIC with my Sansui 771) but is really great matched with Realistic Mach 1 speakers in my garage. But Realistic (Radio Shack) paired and sold them together...- AudioArby

The problem is they are in a big basement and the space is too big for them. I'm not sure.if Regnar is still in business and while the surrounds are still ok I've plenty of experience dojng them myself. Rick Cobb has surrounds for them. They are the same as the Advent surrounds.- AudioArby

I have a pair of DQ-20s hooked up to my Yamaha CR-1020. I also have an Infiniti Sub hooked up for the bottom end. Sounds great. The highs and mids on the DQ-20 are EXCELLENT. Hope to get a higher power amp as the Dahlquists LOVE power.- AudioArby

Do the $20 reform yourself and take your wife out to dinner with the $140 you saved. The Rich Cobb Surrounds will last at least 15 - 20 years. If it's your 1st time doing your speakers take your time. There are plenty of videos on YouTube that show you how to replace surrounds using the various...- AudioArby

I used the 30Hz tone CD that was supplied with the surrounds. I use Rich Cobb as my source (looneytunes2001 on ebay) an he supplies the CD with each order. This centers the voice coil so you don't need to remove the dustcap and shim. It was easy and looks like brand new. I also use Aileens Tacky...- AudioArby

Vintage prices have gotten out of hand. Most of the receivers now on Ebay are not personally owned anymore. They're estate sale finds that are posted untested for crazy prices. The prices have doubled or tripled in the last 5 years.- AudioArby

Best Studio Headphones
In television studios I've worked in we used Beyerdynamic 108, 190, and 290 headphones for floor communication and DT-770 for Voiceovers. We used AKG-K240S for all other applications. Camera people and others used Plantronic Starsets.- AudioArby

The ATH-CKM500..The best CKM earphone yet.
My CKM500 arrived today. I purchased them due to this thread. They're my 1st pair of decent IE headphones as I usually listen to my full-size headphones (AKG-K240S and ATH-PRO700SV). I LIKE THEM. I'm listening with an old iPhone thru a Fiio E11 amp and it sounds very good. I wish the cord...- AudioArby
