This looks like the perfect thread to share something that happened to me today. I work in an elementary school. A teacher left an ancient "suitcase" record player outside her classroom with a note saying "FREE" on it. The player was at least 30 years old and it's probably not a stretch to guess...

Thanks! I was hoping I could locate a manual for it!

A few years ago my parents gave me their old stereo system. It's all Sony components (that I assume are all mid-level) manufactured between 1988-1990. The turntable model is PS-LX430. I have a few 180 and 200-gram Blue Note/Prestige reissues that sound really good to me on the turntable...

Oops...I meant to post this in the Headphones forum area. Sorry!

Hi everyone. I'm using my Playstation 3 with the JVC SU-DH1 Dolby headphone amp for gaming and movies. My current headphone is the DT880. I'd like to try some IEMs ($150-$250 price range), particularly for movies. I need a really good seal, because I'll be running a really loud air conditioner...

I bought my very first amp and some DT880s from Jan. I was crossing over from years of listening to cheap earbuds and was really worried about all the money I was spending. Jan made the experience one of my most enjoyable purchases ever.

Here's a grainy pic. I really need to update my source and amp.

Quote: The huge advantage for home use for me is the ability to convert LPs to digital with the duets ADCs I'm into vinyl, so there's another plus for the Duet I wasn't aware of. I'm thinking my plan now may be to get the Duet and look into a Pico further down the road. Thanks everyone!

I'd like to set up a computer rig for my MacBook using Darths, DT880, and occasionaly Grado SR225. I placed a Pico preorder over a week ago, and haven't heard anything about payment request or being put on the list yet. My gut is telling me to be patient and wait for a Pico, but the notion of...

Whoa, this is getting way too ontological for a thread about DACS!

Hi Justin, Please add me to the pre-order list: 1 Pico with DAC All Clear USB: 1 foot Thanks!

Man...I only live a couple of hours from Chapel Hill but I'm not free this weekend. The only stuff I could've brought, though, is my rig that is "frozen in time" from 2003: Philips 963SA / Corda HA-1 MkII / '03 DT880's.

Nevermind...Please delete thread.

I'm enjoying the sound of my SR225s with the stock pad, but they're a little uncomfortable. I have 414 pads on my PX-100s right now and I'm thinking about switching them to the Grados. I'd rather not do the quarter mod, and was just wondering how the unmodded 414 pads compare to the stock 225...

Great to see Head-Fi back up and running! Some of you may remember a thread I posted a few months ago about a rat getting into my house and chewing on my DT 770 cable. After I executed the rat, I decided that if I was going to have to recable the 770's, why not just get them Darthed while I was...

I got a JVC SU-DH1, and initially I was a little bummed about it not having a digital out. However, just using the headphone out with my DT770 Pro 80's makes watching movies a blast. If you have any low impedence phones, I don't think you'd regret not having a amp for the JVC SU-DH1. BTW...

I'm interested in upgrading from my Sony CE-595. I was looking into the Marantz SA8001, but I came across an older thread that said the CD-5001 was very similar to the 8001 on redbook. I only have about 15 SACDs and plan on keeping the CE-595 as secondary source anyway. Should I just go for the...

Update: I laid out a glue trap and the creature ATE all the glue! Looks like I'm gonna need a bigger boat, so to speak. After I found a hole gnawed through the floor under a desk, I promptly purchased a couple of rat traps and baited them with peanut butter. Later that night I heard the trap...

So, if I were decide to re-cable only, which cable option from Headphile would be best for the DT 770 Pro 80's?

So, I sit down in the den today to listen to my headphones, and the first thing I notice is there are a couple of small items in the room knocked over. Then I unplug my DT 880's and when I'm getting ready to plug my DT 770 Pro 80's into the amp, I discover that some creature (a mouse?) has...

I was deeply saddened to hear about Bergman's passing. Just remember that he would never want his fans to be depressed. Seriously though, I really am bummed out. Winter Light is probably my favorite film of all time. Hearing about Antonioni's death today was equally sad.
