    Grado modders go Magnum

    While other materials have been brought up, anyone know what resin cups would sound like? My sister works in resin and I've been thinking of making mould of some cups I haven't completed yet. Visually they would be amazing in clear resin with some colour but if they don't sound good...

    Snagged two lots this week that sit either side of my vintage sansui's, the local auction strikes again with a Pioneer PL112D turntable with a pair of celef monitor speakers another lot a pair of Akg K240 sextett's EP? Early days on the Pioneer PL112D I just rolled it straight into my system...

    A recapped sansui 800 is my daily driver at work, I also have a G-401 waiting for a service when I find time and someone in the UK to recap it. With the G-401 I will have the chance to hear the difference between orignal and recapped, the 800 came recapped and is sublime with all its sansui...

    Snagged myself a winter project, its in Urmm original condition but does works and I'm thinking of a rewire. With the signal wires coming with bare wire ends and someone cut the ground wire off, the power wire looks its age. I want to keep the plinth vintage with wood sides and leather trim, so...

    Today I cleaned the Pots on my Sansui 800 Receiver and wow! it must have been gradually getting worse as now the pots are clean the difference is marked. That sweet vintage Sansui goodness is back to avenge my ears.

    I pushed like button but kind of wish a combined like/dislike button existed, stack after stack of vintage goodness but so far away. If I spent the airfare on amps I could have my own small stack of amps.

    More vintage goodness arrived earlier today, for headphones in its current location under my work desk . Recapped and serviced and sounding good but good is not the word needed here, sublime would be more fitting or some expletive in front of good. Listening to Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio - Live...

    Yep, I checked your review before pulling the trigger, I think they are MP and need new elastic and the pads where a little flat. I fixed the pads with a donut/ring of 5mm foam underneath them to keep my ears off the grill. Most importantly I love the presentation seems to suit my pioneer.

    Not an integrated amp or a receiver, I found something else vintage :) a pair of AKG K240 Sextett's a similar age to pioneer sa-3000. A good match for the pioneer and while I enjoy various planar's via the headphone out, these sextett's are now first choice.

    Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

    A rural auction + £7.42 = a Pair of Hd600's and box of junk. Yes the foam was about to go, the headband cushion already gone but the pads came up with a vacum and a lint roll thingy. While the replacement parts I cut some synthetic dish cloth and clicked the pads back. So I'll see where they...

    I'm at the "small monster" end of the scale with my Pioneer SA3000, it fits on a Ikea YPPERLIG Shelving unit along with the rest of the chain and some non audio stuff. It was bought recapped so I had no choice in the caps used here is part of the listing - " The amplifier has been fully...

    Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners

    I can't compete with the scale of these amps/receivers but my newly refurbished Pioneer SA-3000 sure sounds sweet. I have found a solid mix of vintage and modern, with Vintage amplification and one vintage source (turntable) the rest a digital source, NOS dac and valve preamp are modern.
