Sound weaker on the left side? Sony MDR-V6
Did you ever find out what was the problem or find a solution? I bought my v6's a few months ago and have had the same problem ever since. I was suspicious that it might be a counterfeit but I ended up being too lazy to do anything about it. Other people have also noticed a slight difference in...- reaqter

Speaker advice
Thanks Bixby, those look nice. At this price range, will most speakers sound about the same? Quote: I've been haunting CL and Goodwill for a while but I think the problem is that I don't know what's a good deal and what's not. I've got a mini list of speakers that more than 3...- reaqter

Quote: I can stretch to a bit over $100 USD. The only actual speakers I've ever had were a Logitech Z-2300 2.1 set of comp speakers. I have a pair of old Pioneer Centrex bookshelf ones that seriously suck because they're so darn shrill in the upper range...a bookshelf pair would be...- reaqter

The Canon Thread
Quote: Hm...I have a couple AE-1's lying around, but I always end up using full manual anyway. I wonder which will last longer over the next few years, the FTb or the AT? They're both in great condition.- reaqter

The Canon Thread
Sorry to interrupt, and I might have missed it in the 100-odd pages I didn't have time to read, but does anyone have a film Canon, 60s-70s era? I've got an FTb body that I like except that it's a bit bulky, so I'm thinking of testing out the AT-1 I have stashed at home.- reaqter

Not sure for 100$
Yep, 1977. From what I've read (and seen firsthand), that decade had really solid construction, so buying second-hand could get you something in great condition that will last a long time. I don't see any of the old turntables I bought dying or falling apart any time soon. As for eBay...I...- reaqter

I don't think you can plug in your headphones directly into the turntable...it comes with L/R cables. So anything like speakers or a receiver that accept them should have a headphone plug that you can listen to there. You could do better for the money, if you're willing to spend a little...- reaqter

Haha, I'm more or less in the same boat. Hopefully someone will come by with advice. My stuff: Sony PS-3300 / Kenwood 3070 (could use either) semi-functional Tandberg 2055 receiver (R channel only, probably won't use) NAD PP-2 preamp On CL there are a pair of JBL Control...- reaqter

Kenwood KD 2070 vs Technics SL BD20D- Need help picking
Wow, glad everything's working out for you! My Kenwood arrived today, but...without cartridge or stylus. Maybe I can get some refund out of the guy (the eBay listing pic & description clearly described cart & stylus) and get myself a nice new set. So much for eBay...I'm glad I only paid a...- reaqter

Beginner turntable questions
I had to reply to a guy with a NMH avatar pic. But I have nothing to say. You could consider going for some 70s turntables, that's what I've done. But it makes setup a lot finickier.- reaqter
