Yes indeed! Though Fluance RT84 has auto-stop. Actually I checked the product page for RT84 again and it says for wireless playback: "No (Requires Bluetooth or WiFi transmitter connected via RCA connection to transmit audio wirelessly)." That gives me a point of reference for searching...

I'm still regretful I did not get that Fluance RT84 when it was on sale for $350 in December. Hasn't been that low since. Now I know the budget was going to be sufficient to cover that cost, but I didn't at the time. Now I have a different question: My stepfather wants to have the option...

Interesting, this discussion says that Denon DP-300F is basically the same model as Fluance RT81 and Teac TN-300: https://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?t=98911 "The three turntables are technically the same as they are built at the Ya Horng OEM factory in Taiwan or mainland...

Fantastic info, very helpful--thank you! I've inquired with my stepfather about his budget again to get a more definite number. You are right about that TT having been used for DJ gigs. I'm keeping an eye on Fluance RT82-84. That RT84 sale for $350 is currently over. Which Pro-Ject and...

Re: auto-tuning, I meant things pertaining to mechanical operation, speed, balance, and such. Not sound effects. What do you think of Technics SL1200 Mk2? There's a Craigslist deal for around $300 OBO, no dust cover, but "in perfect condition", and I'm curious about how that would compare to...

Oof, that could be rough. Can't guarantee a receiver, though have plenty of good headphones. I guess I should stick with reputable sellers. I've had Technics receivers recommended by an acquaintance as well. Since I'm mostly ignorant of vinyl record player intricacies: is there anything...

Thank you for your reply! I understand the issues with the budget turntables better now. I'll keep an eye on good deals on that Fluance model. Are there any older models that I should look out for that would be similarly good compared to the Fluance RT84 but lower cost now, especially...

You're right, we can go up and up in quality and in price. Given a flexible budget, I could take your advice. I mentioned the price cap for a reason, and also space is at a premium -- powered speakers + record player without a receiver would be best. The TEAC includes a phono preamp, and also...

I'm looking to put together a budget vinyl record playing set-up for my stepfather who has a large vinyl collection. His old set up went bad and was given away when he sold his old house, and now he has to start from scratch. Since price of the speakers and other components can quickly add up...

If it's just the audio cable that's going bad, there are cheap Neomusicia cables available on Amazon and eBay that fit and work as well. If it's the connectors in the ear pads that are going bad, that would require a repair.

You should write to Audeze customer service: http://www.audeze.com/support They still repair their products even out of warranty (though possibly for a fee).

Earpads can make a difference with Sine, yes. Especially 3rd party replacement pads that are over-ear: those can increase detail and brightness and reduce bass. Any difference in the earpad fit and shape of the earpad cavity can have an effect on the sound of these headphones. I've compared...

I've now confirmed that it was simply a memory bias for me. I've had 3 pairs of Sines, not all at the same time, and I thought my first one was the best. I sold it because I thought I was going to get another Mobius pair but ended up missing it. Since then I also listened to a pair of EL-8...

Just got an iPhone SE to use as a music player with the Cipher cable (prior to that was using a DAP/amp stack for a long time). The Cipher is a bit on the bright and mid-forward side, sometimes a bit painful to listen to, but I do enjoy the extra DSP that seems to highlight fine detail and...

Ah that's right, I was thinking of my 2.5mm trrs balanced cable for the DAP end and mixed up with the ends that go into the earpieces.
