Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
What would the Pioneer equivalent of a Marantz 2220-2235 be, in terms of performance and/or price. Or any other comparable integrated amps/receivers from other brands. Basically I'm looking to upgrade for 300-400.- Cosmonaut

Dumb question
So with a portable DAC/AMP it doesn't matter what laptop sound card you have, right? Right now I have a MisterX HP DAC/Amp and Denon D2k. Was thinking of upgrading the amp, but just wanted to make sure whatever I get won't be limited by whatever sound card is on my laptop.- Cosmonaut

TF10 replacement cables
What's out there as far as replacements? I've finally tired of the stock cable, mostly because of how it kind of holds the shape after I take it out of the case. So I'm looking for something less rigid, but also something that sounds as good or better. This Fiio one from Amazon is what I've...- Cosmonaut

AH-D2000s have a vibrating sound in the left cup.
I have a Markl modded pair of D2000s and just recently a little vibrating sound has developed when a song has really deep bass. First of all, would anybody know what, exactly, is the most likely culprit without seeing it. Also, not having any experience myself opening them up, would I risk doing...- Cosmonaut

What receiver can I get for <150?
Quote: These speakers: http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-SP-BS41-LR-Bookshelf-Loudspeakers-Black/dp/B0045US6DE I'll only be using it for music, and I might use my headphones to listen from time to time, but that's not of tantamount importance.- Cosmonaut

What receiver can I get for <150?
First inclination is to look for an old Marantz on eBay. Are there any other specific brands/models that I should look into for the price?- Cosmonaut

The channels on my headphones are reversed. How do I change it?
Quote: Haha no. Well kinda. I guess when he did the mod he put the cups back on the wrong side, so I just got the idea to switch the pads and wear the cup labeled "R" on the left.- Cosmonaut

Question about headphone volume (gaming)
I saw in another thread that someone said you can use your headphones to play games if you get a 3.5mm to rca converter, so I bought one. Got it today, but the volume in the headphones was really low. I thought it would funnel all the sound through the headphones so I could just adjust the TV...- Cosmonaut

If I'm understanding him, he's talking about the fact you're trying to match your headphones to an amp, rather than the other way around. I could be wrong, though.- Cosmonaut

Would a Fiio E5 be worth it?
Simple question, should I get one or no. I've heard some things about hissing sounds and stuff so I'm not completely sold. Anyways, I have a Zune 80 and IE6 right now.- Cosmonaut
