The thing is, I live in Norway, so shipping anything to/from the US not really an option. I'll try to contact headphones.com. What I need first of all is the specs of the charger. If the battery fails, I'll find a substitute and replace it myself :wink:

So, I scored this at a local fleamarket today for $15 (!!!). It's the DAC version and it came with a HeadRoom sleeve/stand and, surprisingly, a charged battery. Works perfectly :) However the power supply is missing. It needs 9V, but does anyone know the amperage?

Back in the good old days I ended up with two pairs of SR-X Mk3's, but only bought pads for the nicest pair (I was young, dumb and poor). So now I have this fully functional pair with really, really tattered pads laying there just doing nothing. A disgrace! Since the pads now are quite...

You probably wouldn't like the postage from Norway... But it is a nice deal. Someone will enjoy them, for sure.

Thanks! Maybe not such a good deal, then.

What are these? I can't find the exact model. But they're $25!

This one came without the plug (Japanese domestic version), so unfortunately the wire swapping is required. Don't worry about the ground wire, it's just loosened so I could tilt the panel for a clearer pic ;)

Can any of you guys give me a hand here? https://www.head-fi.org/threads/stax-srm-1-mk2-100v-to-240v-conversion-is-this-correct.872626/ I didn't want to clutter up the discussion here with such a mundane question, but it seems like the Stax illuminati doesn't bother much with the rest of the...

I've been running my 100v SRM-1/Mk2 with an adapter, but I'd like to convert it to 240v. So I just move jumper A from the brown cable to the the blue, jumper B from the transformer cable to the purple one, and I'm done?

So you hang out over at Audiokarma, too :) That's my main forum of choice, as I'm mostly into 70's Japanese turntables, separates, and such.. But I occasionally dip into the headphone forums, too. Actually, it was modding of my old PortaPros that inspired me to take an extra close look at the...

Well, the build quality is definately not an issue! Apart from the pads, everything is in very good condition, and looks like the headphones are determined to stay that way.   So far I've only tried them a little with my ol' rockboxed Sansa Clip+, and the lack of sealing is very noticable...

So, I'm picking up a pair of Sony MDR-CD6's in good condition tomorrow.   The earpads obviously need replacement, so some pointers on what to get would be appreciated.   But what am I actually getting? There's very little info on the web, except that judging by eBay prices, they seem quite...

Quote: I got the SAE from the Norwegian version of Craigslist, for about $250 incl. shipping, with a dead channel (fixed now). They did sell SAE in Norway, but units are very rare. I think I've seen 2-3 components for sale over a 7-8 year period. Never seen another 2600 for sale. I'll...

I'm not that into receivers, but I love vintage amps, especially separates. Here's some of my stuff:   Harman/Kardon 730   Accuphase E-202 with the optional A-3 wood cabinet   Kenwood Supreme 700C Accuphase C-222 Accuphase C-200X   Kenwood Supreme 700M Accuphase P-20 SAE...

I'd use a a flexible PVA glue, like Elmer's. You should be able to easily scrape off any residue with your fingernails. Don't use superglue, it becomes brittle when it dries.  

Quote:   Yep, those are the ones I got. There's a reason given for the low price: Quote: A friend of mine who owns a pair of FX101's listened to my FX3X', and placed an order within 5 minutes. They're good. The seller throws in a replacement wire cord with the package, btw. It's a...

Quote:   I got a pair of the FX3X' from the seller pandjshop on eBay a couple of days ago. As far as I can tell, they're the real deal. Build quality, looks, packaging, sound signature, burn-in changes, everything matches. The service was excellent as well.  

Quote: The one on the right side.

Quote: I'm getting a pair from this seller within 2-3 days, I'll report back in this thread once they've arrived! They definately look like the real deal compared to the fakes shown here: http://bbs.kakaku.com/bbs/J0000003711/SortID=15271348/

I've got a couple of vintage Accuphase pieces, including an E-202.    Why not just sell the E-202, and get yourself a C-200, then (they're about the same price)? That would produce even finer sound than an E-202/P-300 combo. I don't have a P-300, but I've got a P-20, and it sounds much...

Oooops!  

Price in itself doesn't define what's high-end.

I've got the Pro, Signature, and normal bias Lambdas, and I'm curious about what they cost back in the days. Anyone know?
