Fix minor speaker rattle
Have a set of Rogers DB101. There's a tiny bit of rattle coming from the cone.. stops when I flex the driver a bit, or lightly place my hand on the center. What's the best way to fix this? The cups don't attach to the cones, so I think it's just rubbing against it a bit from vibration and...- kloan

Cheap but good clean sounding Preamp?
I picked up a pair of Rogers DB101 from Value Village last week for $20. Great score, right? lol Anyway, I'm a fan of repurposing things, so I thought I'd make a little desktop stereo for my computer. I have a crate of a few old car stereos, so I hooked one up to a 12V 1A power supply I had...- kloan

Need something under $50 comparable to Yamaha EPH100 - Any Ideas?
Since my Yamahas kicked the bucket, I'm without a decent set of earphones to use in the gym. Unfortunately, I'm very strapped for cash right now being unemployed, so I'm hoping to find something for under $50. I actually really enjoyed the sound of the Yamahas. I loved the bass, the subtle...- kloan

Sennheiser PX100 - Echoey, overblown reverb??
I've been using my mom's Sennheiser PX100. I thought from all of the positive reviews these get that they'd sound decent. What's with the echo??

Here are some photos I took of the driver found inside a pair of fake IE8s. Looks like it has the 'tuner port', which is surprising.
