    Trying to source a counterweight for an Rega P2 w/Stock RB250 tonearm

    So I'm kind of desperate now. I cannot seem to track down a counterweight for the Rega RB250 tonearm. I've emailed Rega, so maybe they can help... But it's the weekend. Thought maybe somebody here would have any ideas? Not looking to spend a lot of money on some boutique third party one, either...

    Looking to purchase, but can I obtain the ++ and -- ?

    As the title suggests, I am interested in purchasing the SA6's, but I'm also curious to know if I'll be able to get the bass ++ and treble -- ports that I've seen mentioned here ? I've listened with and enjoyed Shure E530's and wonder how close in comparison they rank to the SA6's, because the...

    I put Beyer velour pads on my Panasonic RP-HTX7's

    I really like these cans, but they were becoming increasingly uncomfortable due to the plastic ear cups cracking. I've seen this on other people's cans as well in the street, and remembered that I had some Beyer velour pads in my closet, which were supposed to be fit onto my Sony V6's before...

    Soundcage custom made canal phones.. ?

    This dates back to about two weeks ago, while I was heading into the vinyl section at Virgin Record store at Union Square (NYC). There's a kiosk set up right outside of the vinyl/video game section there, where people have been getting custom made silicone (think it's a mix though, but not sure)...

    New AKG 240's (55 ohm) for $95 Too good to pass up?

    I've got my finger on the trigger, but it would be kind of irresponsible of me to purchase them at the moment, since I've slightly bigger financial fish to fry at the moment. But is the likely hood of them staying at that price point good or bad ? $95.25 shipped new from Amazon. Doug...

    AKG 240S Need amp to shine etc ?

    I was in the Guitar Store on 14th St (union square) the other day and saw a decent standing rack of cans to try out. Amongst them were Denon 1000's some Sennheiser 280's, a couple pair of different ones that I can't remember but weren't much worth mentioning if I recall, and a pair of AKG...

    If cables or interconnects are so vital then why

    Why is it that my Rega P2 has some rather shoddy looking RCA cables/jacks attached to it, rather than just have standard I/O jacks that one can attach their onw IC's to ? My Rega hasn't been used. Sat in its box for the past year waiting for me to buy a new receiver and such. So as I was about...

    Ordering from Blue Jeans Cable ?

    Quick question for anybody who has ordered from these guys: Is the order form truly necessary ? I was about to place an order for speaker cable and IC's, and saw that their "primary" means to process a CC order is through Paypal. I don't deal with PP. I also see that they have secondary means...

    JVC FX66 soft tips on UE 5's... NOICE !

    Just wanted to share with you UE super fi owners that what I thought was a total loss, has actually turned into a somewhat positive thing in a different way... I bought the JVC Air buds (FX66's) yesterday, and don't really like them much.. might as well have stuck with the 33's but had to...

    Website catering to computer peripheral reviews ?

    I could probably ask about purchasing cheapish speakers for my PC here, at Head-Fi, but I think that there are probably more dedicated forums for such a thing. I HAD 2 pairs of Level 9 Monsoon PM 9's, which are now deceased, and I need new stuff. I don't want to spend much since I have more...

    Help with cart for Rega P2

    Hey guys, here's a bit of a rundown on what I've been into as of late, and how much farther I have to go, until I settle in with some new Audio gear: It's been about a year since I started thinking about purchasing some stuff, in order to upgrade my crap system (Onkyo TX SV515; Fisher studio...

    Irivium Explorer By Red Chair Comming Soon

    Red Chair Irivium Explorer Beta software will soon be in the works, as it seems they've been keeping a red eye on the IHP community. IMO, presenting the Iriver community with an alternative is a good idea. Although, it would be much better if the Iriver people outsourced some people in India...

    Bypassing IHP's amp when hooked up to receiver

    First off, I'm sure most of you are aware that in order to bypass the IHP's amplifier, DSP's and EQ when using the line out, the volume has to be turned all the way up to 40. (thus making it a true line out, or so it's said) Well, Ive got my IHP hooked up to my Onkyo receiver via RCA cables...

    Very cool IHP car mount and stand alone holder-DIY

    I thought that this post over at the mistic river forums truly deserved a looksy over here...This guy always does some cool stuff. He was inspired by the iPod's stand which costs $15, and he pretty much did it for nothing. I think the projects are very easy if one has the will to do this stuff...

    OH MY. I THINK I HATE THESE CANS

    Now I realize that different strokes for different folks comes into play here, so let's just get that right out of the way. Over the months, I've heard people talking about the sony V6's as if they were the best budget closed design can out there. I'd always wanted to get them, but wasn't...

    New receiver for mainly music BUT...

    I'd also like it to be capable of doing a good job with 5 or 6.1 processing for movies. I'm currently using an Onkyo TX-SV515, and it's alright but the truth is, that I've had a pair of Energy C3's sitting in my studio (on stands) for months now,(and I'm about $150 away from my Energy CR3 rears)...
