I recently obtained (for nearly nothing) some old 3-foot-tall magnavox speakers. I'm not sure what model they are and I need to get a relatively cheap receiver/amplifier for them. These speakers are for parties and non-critical listening situations. Ideally a receiver would be nice, so that I...

Hi everybody. Its been a very long time since I have visited this forum. I have been extremely busy with research and studies. I just happened to stop by & see there will be a headphone meet in my back yard! Anyway I'll be busy until the 2nd of May (I have an abstract for a paper due on the 2nd)...

Jan, thanks for the reply... starts rooting through the mess of boxes at the back of my cupboard... now where did I keep that @#$! box

Thanks for the replies... tbonner1, expect an e-mail soon. Anish

My hd580 has developed a loose connection somewhere along the cable to the right side ear-piece. I know its in the cable and/or connector because even if I switch them around (i.e. right connector in the left driver etc) I still get the loose connection on the right side (side with the red...

My friend found the music system I mentioned earlier for under $200 & has decided to go for that. Anyway, Nezer, thanks for your help. I will probably find that thread useful later if I decide to get speakers for my system before leaving college. Anish

Actually it IS for a friend . I listen to MPC's almost exclusively now.The only mp3 player I'd like to get is an Ipod. I would never buy a music system with that as a primary feature. I'd much rather listen to my 333es and keep my compressed music on my harddisk. Anyway... I did the search &...

My firend wants to buy a home mp3/cd music system. To give you an idea of the quality & price range in mind, the one he chose was the RCA rs2538 . Can anyone suggest a better system in a similar price range (~$250). Thanks Anish

toaster, tangent... Thanks for the information. I'll start looking for lower rated power supplies (about 100mA). toaster, where did you get that powertech amp from? Anish

They don't seem to have what i want. I need about 24-28V and about 1-3A (i think). Can anyone with a porta corda correct me if i'm wrong? Anish

thanks alot tangent. I'll check out the digikey and newark websites.

I need a linear power supply for the porta corda. I don't have transport right now, and the nearest Radio shack is too far too walk to it. What is the part number of the power supply, so that I can order it from the Radio shack website.... or is there a better place to get one from? Anish

My story started in February, last year. I was into mpegplus (now called musepack), a high quality compressed music format and listening to them through a pair of very cheap Philips headphones. I was in India at the time & was coming to the US for my graduate school in August. I knew there was...

I can get the 333es for $525 + shipping, second hand. I think I'll go for it. Does anyone have any suggestions. Is any other unit (222/333/555/9000) available for a similar price? Anish

Thanks for all your replies. Good Guys don't seem to carry the 333es any more. I called several of the stores and got the same reply. Is there any comparison between the 222 & the 333. Beside the build quality and the multi-channel support, are there any differences between them? Does anyone...

I have just bought the porta-corda and the hd580 from Jan, and I am looking for a good source. I had my heart set on the 333es, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Can anyone help me out? Anish
