    I love working for...

    There's an old rock song I'm struggling to remember. I believe it has the lyric in it "I love working for..." and then like a 3 letter acronym music label. It's NOT Lynyrd Skynyrd "Workin' For MCA". It just escapes me at the moment and maybe someone knows...

    Need a new Amp/receiver, looking for suggestions

    Hi guys. I never got big into dedicated source stuff so I'm hoping you can help me out. My dad built these speakers in college ('73) and by the time I got my hands on them, the drivers needed to be replaced. Having done that I decided to power them with the same receiver he used, the Pioneer...

    Pioneer SX-6 Stereo stopped working

    On advice from another, I thought I'd try my luck here.   So I powered up my stereo up the other day, I heard a pop from the speakers and then nothing. No sound. The tuner and buttons still works. No output from headphone jack either. The fuse appears fine. Before this problem, sometimes I...

    Song that sounds like this?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24Oge_5kHKk   The girl singing in this video does the "You need me man I dont need you" chorus with the exact same cadence and tone as in another song. Pretty sure the song I'm thinking of is a bit more classy than this one, and I ask here because it may even be...

    Porting Math Help

    So, I'm recycling an enclosure, and I was thinking of putting the Dayton Ref. 12's in there. Specifically, RSS315HF-4. But! I've never done this before, so I don't know what's what.   Given: Vb=1 cu ft Vas=85.1 Qes=.58 Qms=3.12 Fs=25 Qts=.489   Calculated:  ...

    AudioTechnica PEQ3 vs Esoteric Sounds Rek-O-Kut MKII vs TCC TC-750LC

    So, the PEQ3 is giving me a it of trouble in that it's output is below line level at only 150mV.   I'm looking at a replacement, and the TCC TC-750LC and the Esoteric Sounds Rek-O-Kut MKII both look like good choices with twice the output voltage and a slightly better signal/noise.  ...

    What's wrong with my turntable?

    So I just bought a new stylus and phono preamp for the Pioneer PL-7 turntable my dad gave me. It was working when we pulled it out of the box, and then my neighbors drove it up to my apartment for me and now it's doing this: Any clue as to what's wrong with it? As you can see, it's...

    I finally have a TT!

    With the sound of a $20 price tag tapped to the box being pulled off and the utterance of the word "SOLD". I am the proud new owner of a Pioneer PL-7 Direct Drive Turntable. Minus a stylus.   I do have one concern. What types of carts will I be able to mount to the tone arm? The table and...

    A cart for Vinyl?

    Hey guys, I have a feeling I'm going to get a turntable for xmas. My dad's old one. Need's a new cart. I was hoping you guys could hook me up with a couple carts for (well) under $75 that have good bass response. However, the local library mainly carries classical music, so it's going to need to...

    Listening Session - What should I do?

    Right. So. I'm having this girl over in the next couple days (possible soul mate?) for a listening session. We haven't actually swapped music yet, but we've talked about music and we both love stringed instruments. There are other things we click on with our musical tastes, but there is still a...

    Looking to make the jump to vinyl

    Instead of explaining everything, I'm just going to ask the question that it boils down to. If you had a loose budget of $100-$150 USD for a turntable, what would you get?

    My new XONAR D1 is sex (Xonar D1 vs. Audigy 4)

    Ok, so I used to have a Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 4, which was okay at best. It was very bright. Sharply so. This combined with AD700's guaranteed that snare drums and such would absolutely destroy my ears. Like popping an innocent soap bubble with a bullet. And the bass was pretty boomy as...

    Big difference for optical audio?

    Keep in mind I'm looking for good sound on a budget. (AD700) I'm looking at a Sound Card upgrade. I was wondering if it would be better to use my onboard optical SPDIF and get a DAC, or get something like a XONAR DX/D1. Would the signal over onboard SPDIF have any quality loss versus that...

    Picked up a reciever... opinions?

    I picked up a Pioneer SX-316 from the local pawn shop for $95 USD. I don't know much about receivers and Google didn't help me much, so I was wondering what you guys thought. Sorry if this is the wrong section. This just seemed to be the most appropriate.
