Okay guys, so I have an ALO Rx that will not stay charged more than 5-10 minutes of use. It is pretty old and probably has close to 3000 hours. Opened it up and was going to try and buy some new Li Ion batteries and solder them on myself. The batteries in it now are 3.7V - 3.4Wh. I am not sure...

So I have had my ALO Rx for about 2 years now and put around 2500 hours on it. It is dying. It won't hold a charge more than 20 minutes or so, it does work fine if I use it while it is plugged up. I contacted ALO and they said since it was an old model they couldn't really help me. I am looking...

Okay this could be dumb but I have an old stereo system that the turntable motor stopped working, plus it is massive. The particular model is a Sears brand. There is no model number or name, all it says on the front is "Sears Solid State". Being that I have a separate turntable and I enjoy the...

Hi all I am making a custom IEM cable. I can't justify paying $150+ for a pre-made one, plus DIY is fun! Now that the UE connectors are easily accesible I just need to get some clarification on which wire. I was particularly looking at the DHC Nucleotide 24awg, because that's the smallest they...

So I am making my way into the world of speakers. I am getting the Wharfedale Diamond 9.2 speakers and am looking for the rest of my gear. I already have some newer Sony turntable that is pretty good and I don't plan on upgrading that anytime soon. The first thing I am going to buy is a nice...

I haven't posted in a while. But I have been listening to a lot of Modest Mouse, Wintersleep, and Explosions in the Sky. I am looking for some other recommendations similar to this. Thanks! 

Hi,   I was wondering if it was possible to purchase the white rubber bands in this picture? Thanks!  

First off I did not know where to put this so I apologize for the semi-off-topic-ness.    I am looking to start my way into a small speaker rig. I will be using it in a small room but I still want them to be slightly loud when cranked up. I am looking for maybe bookshelf speakers to put on...

I know there are many people here who have careers dealing with music, and I am wondering if there are any music producers or talent agents here. The reason I am asking is because a good friend I go to school with is a very talented singer. She just needs for some one to find her. If any of you...

Okay so I move in to my dorm for the first time in a couple of weeks and I need some desktop speakers. I would like to get quite a bit of noise out of them, as in being able to go pretty loud and still sound good. I was really loving the Swans because of there price and since I am on such a...

This weekend was a local antique thing so I went and ended up picking up some albums. Here is what I got. I had some guy tell me the Beach Boys album was rare? I don't know if it is. But check it out. I am new to vinyl by the way lol.  

I am only 18 so this may be ridiculous to start another hobby, but I want to get into watches. I have 3 now, a Fossil, and a Nixon, and a cheap Nike for running. I want to get my first real nice watch. I don't want to spend too much so I am looking around the $200 price range. I am new to the...

I was just watching National Treasure on USA and saw this preview for a new TV show. In this TV show preview I think I have spotted some Grado RS-2's. I just thought I would post. Here is a link to the video. You can see the headphones at 0:12 seconds. YouTube - Covert Affairs Teaser Trailer

I have been wanting to get into photography for a long time. I wanted to start cheap just incase I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. So I wanted to start with film. I recently purchased a Quantaray Dakota RZ-2000 35mm film camera. It has a 35 to 70mm lens with it. I am just wondering...

I didn't know where to put this so here it is. I am new to playing the guitar. I am learning about chord progression and I am getting to where I can actually play a rift. But I need to re-string my acoustic. I have an Alvarez acoustic guitar, I don't know model or any of that, I can get a pic if...

I have recently become a pretty big jazz fan. I don't know all of the subgenres but I mostly listen to Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, and Art Blakely. I randomly stumbles upon this podcast called Jazz Insights on iTunes. If you are a jazz fan you owe it to yourself to check this...

So I have an Ipod 5th gen 30gb. I want to do an DIYMod which is pretty self explanatory. But my question is since I want to upgrade the HDD to a 240gb I will need a 60/80gb. Could I just order a new 80gb back with the headphone jack and just put the internals of my 30gb, plus the 240gb HDD and...

Okay I have made several cables but when it comes to soldering to a PCB I have no experience. So since I am without a DAC I have decided to make one my first project. Since it will be my first I am wanting to keep it really cheap. I am going to do a kit as well, just to make it easier for me to...

I am wondering if we can get a meet together in the NC area. I am located outside of Winston Salem. I would be willing to drive. I am just wanting to get an idea if anyone else is interested.

I have made a couple LOD's and I am going to make another one, this one will be from Ipod to 3.5mm. The other 2 were Ipod to RCA's. I am mainly wondering if it is worth it to buy TWcu for the wire. I plan to use a Viablue 3.5mm connector and a small Ipod connector? Should I use this wire or...

I am looking for some new music recommendations. I guess the genre would be classified as folk or indie? Some things I like that I am sort of looking for: Dave Matthews Band Silversun Pickups Arcade Fire Oren Lavie Portugal. The Man Death Cab for Cutie Arctic Monkeys Thanks. And...

So lately I have been feeling that my Logitech speakers on my desk have been really lacking. So I started looking at speakers. I wanted something cheap that would give me good sound for the money. Plus I of course wanted them to look good. So I started looking around, I found a few I liked, most...

I wasn't really sure on where to put this so here it goes. I went to my grandmothers tonight for dinner and I came home with more than a full stomach. She gave me an old record player she had stashed up in her basement. It is like a 70's model. It also has a built in 8 track player and AM/FM...

I don't think this has been posted. But I found the Etymotic ER6i's for $56. The black are $59. I don't know how good of a deal this is but I figured it might could help someone. Amazon.com: Etymotic Research ER6i Isolator In-Ear Earphones (White): Electronics

I have ordered my parts to make some cables and I plan on getting into DIY. I would like to eventually try to make some DIY amps/DAC's, but for now it will be just cables. So the question is which soldering iron? I was looking at this one. But since for now I will just be doing cables should I...
