Hello, I've recently moved into a single room and am without my hi-fi set up. Looking for a decent desktop setup for listening while at work, for listening to PS5 games and for watching TV/movies on Apple TV 4k. Currently have a Maverick Audio Tubemagic D1 and Sennheiser HD555/Grado Sr80e from...

I'm not sure what subforum this belongs in, but this seemed most appropriate.   I just moved back into school to NC from NH. I drove down and brought my system with me. Hooked it up last night and everything seemed ok, then I noticed the amp shut off and mute itself for a few seconds before...

I'll be bringing my records back down to NC with me in a week when I leave. I'm driving from NH to PA on the first day, staying with a friend that night. The records would be in one of these:   http://www.amazon.com/Odyssey-CLP200P-Carpeted-Recessed-Hardware/dp/B0002DVBRQ   Will there be...

I built a desk using an IKEA countertop a couple of years ago. It's solid birch and pretty sturdy. I've got a bit left over in my closet and I was curious how this would work for isolation on my Project Debut III? I'm not looking for anything fancy, but seeing as I have the material there, if...

I'm looking to grab some inner and outer sleeves to replace those in my current records, just curious what you guys would recommend? I did a search and couldn't find anything.   Thanks.

My current system is in my signature. I posted in the speakers forum about potentially upgrading speakers and it seems it's better to upgrade everything else first. These are the planned upgrades:   Pro-ject Debut III Ortofon 2M Red Pro-ject Acryl It platter   Pro-ject Phono Box MKII...

Presently I have the PSB Alpha B1's. They're not bad but I want something a bit better. I'll be getting a decent tax return for a student, but I'm limiting my budget to around $300-$500. I know you guys have a tendency to stretch budgets, but please, respect my restrictions.   I was...

Can anyone recommend me sounds of Pakistan, India, and the like? Hard to describe, and I made a thread a while back about "world music".   I don't know these songs well, I just YouTube'd until I found sounds in the vein of what I'm looking for...  ...

I do like some jazz, but I've tried to get into parts and just can't do it.   The only two albums I can say I like as a whole are:   Miles Davis - Kind of Blue Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio - Misty   I've heard there is a Japanese edition of Kind of Blue that's a must own. Essentially...

I'm currently using a Technics SL-3200 with a Shure M97xE. I've been mulling over upgrading to the Pro-Ject for a few months now. I'm leaving for school in a few months so I don't want to dish out too much money as I won't be able to use it much over the next few years. Would you say the...

Before upgrading the speakers and components in my budget system, I want to improve upon the interconnects and speaker wire I've got right now. A power cable might be invested at some point, but that will come after speakers and components.   If anyone can recommend anything under $100 (two...

So recently I've gotten into Swedish group, Taken By Trees' album inspired by a trip to Pakistan, called "East of Eden". It's an odd mix of the sunny Scandinavian electric pop and traditional Pakistani music. It has to be heard to understand. It's a very different sound to describe, at once...

So I've just completed my modest system. There is still a lot of room to upgrade, but for now it does the job. So far the only higher quality CD's I own are the Pet Sounds 24K Gold CD from Audio Fidelity and Lightnin' Hopkins "Broken Hearted Blues" SACD, which is essentially a best of. The...

My cat decided to shove my speaker off of it's temporary home on an entertainment stand and in doing so dented a hefty portion of the speaker grille. Had the grille not been in place, the speaker itself would have probably been punctured as it landed on a sharp corner. For this reason...

Ok, first and foremost let me say I have no idea which subforum to post this in, so if a moderator feels it's inappropriately placed, feel free to relocate to a place where I'd find a better answer. I am working on building a "cheap", upgradable setup. I own a pair of Sennheiser HD555's...

Hi, I'm relatively new to the whole audiophile business. I love music and felt the need to upgrade to a decent pair of headphones, so I got the Sennheiser HD555's. So far I've gotta say they're pretty good. They're the 50 ohm model, so an amp isn't necessary, but I've heard an amp increases...
