repair question

Hey there, A while back I got a used SMSL AD18 from FB Marketplace to drive the bookshelf speakers on my desk and have been happy with it until now. Recently I bought a pair of Meze 99 Classics which I love but when I plug them (or any other headphones I own) into the AD18's headphone out jack...

I recently acquired a Sony Zx300 which cannot keep a charge, it only flashes a battery symbol covered by a thermometer. While it wouldn't be impossible to get replaced I was wondering if there was a way to fix it through a software solution first. Thanks in advance!

I bought a pair of DT770 Pro but the 3.5mm jack is broken. When attempting to repair it, I encountered some kind of reinforcement material woven with the copper in the red and white wires. What is the best way to remove it?

Hi all, Apologies I know this is probably in the wrong forum, but I can't post anywhere else yet. I've had to do some surgery to my B+W P9's and have taken out the foam layer due to cracked leather and a little bit of mould growth (yah I know, pretty disgusting). Does anyone know where I...

Hi everyone, Not sure this is the right place but I need help. The inner cable of my Tancjim Darling broke. Can it be repaired and how can it be fixed? Thank you

I had a 2 pin cable pin break off inside my moondrop aria (og). I then compounded this issue by breaking off a drill bit inside the same hole and damaging the socket. At this point it's pretty clear the sockets gone but is that the end of my aria's? How hard is it to crack open my aria's? Do...

I have a paid of STAX SR-007 (mki), and the cable now has a loose connection at the headphone end. I've fixed a similar problem on some old Grados of mine, but I'm a lot more nervous about opening up a pair of electrostatic headphones, and I'm not even sure how I'd do it. Has anyone had any...

Hi, I recently bought a used monarch mk2 and it came in with a small crack on the shell. Over time the crack has gotten bigger so I wanted to figure out how to repair it. One way I've heard to fix it is to use Loctite plastic bonding. When googling I also came across sgaudiohive and saw that...

She just popped out and dangles there now. Going through the repair process seems like such a hassle. It looks like a clean separation and I was thinking of just using a metal epoxy and "gluing" it back, but am not that experienced in these matters...

I have a THX 789 that no longer powers on. The power button no longer clicks like it used to and the red light can be turned on if I press the power button repeatedly. Altho, it dims out and stays dimliy lit. And no audio comes through. The power bricks green light does light up. What lead to my...

Hello! My yuin pk2 stopped working on the right side. I was think if replacing the wire for this one would be possible. If its possible I'd need to get soldering equipment, right? Or its possible (even if its not the ideal) to do this without soldering equipment? I have no experience on that...

Hi, I purchased an amplifier with a damaged Pre-Out, see pitcures below. To me it looks like only the metal cap is missing. So is it possible to remove a metal cap of another RCA and mount it by pressure to the amplifier? Or do I need a new RCA that must be soldered to the amplifier? Image

Hi all, I recently came in possession of a pair of MDR-CD2000. It works very well safe for one small problem, the headband which I assume to normally be self-adjusting is no longer doing its job properly. (photo for reference) It's quite easy to remove it from the headphones themselves, there...

Hello! I got a pair of HD600 from a neighbour which is not working right now. He mentioned that it is because of the connection, cable. Is there anyone here that fix headphones in London? I am trying to understand if it worths the effort :) What do you guys think? Cheers!

Hi, I just spotted a pair of Stax SR-40 headphones with SRD-4 adapter used for $100. I really want to buy them for a bunch of reasons, but one speaker plays quite than the other, apparently 15-20% lower. I'm told that can be adjusted for via amplifier balance. - Anyone familiar with these...

So I figure I've over swiveled my HE1000 V2 from trying to check for channel imbalance problems which evidently turned out to be an ear problem, and the hinges are now creaking. I checked them and there's this grey-white shiny piece of silicone(?) sandwiched in the swivel point. I'm assuming...

I recently received two pairs of vintage STAX, the sr-40s and the lambda pros, and they each came with slight issues that I wish to resolve. The sr-40s seem to have the simpler issue to fix, that being the cables that attach to the ear cups don't have the best connection so while listening it...

Hi all, I bought a pair of secondhand Monoprice M1060c's. The one driver occasionally goes dead after not being used for a while. In order to get it work, I have to turn the volume way up (max vol. on O2 amp, high gain, max on source LG G7 source and sometimes adding pre-amp on LG G7 USB Audio...

Hey everyone! First post here with a question. I'm wondering if anybody would by any chance know the paint code for the lighter grey parts? Or know of any automotive colors that come close to it? I like my gear looking mint, and these scratches have been really irritating me. Other Sennheiser...

(wanted to post in DIY forum but can't because new member) so my cable connection to the driver lead broke and I decided to be louis rossmann for the day and solder it back together I've done it before on DT990 and it worked fine, what I ended up doing is soldering 2 leads and melting the one...

Hello, a few years ago this forum recommended a pair of AKG Q701 headphones. They have been great, but over those years they have seen a bit of structural damage. The problem is that I don't know much at all about headphones. I don't even know the name of the part that needs to be fixed so I can...

I bought used V-Moda Crossfades and the headband is so misshapen that I don’t use them. I thought it was the sound of the phones that I didn’t like until I tried a display model in a store not long ago. It turns out, I enjoy the sound when they fit properly. I should mention that the headband is...

My main amplifier (for both headphones and speakers) is a vintage Onkyo A-817XD integrated amp from 1988 which i believe was never revised by its previous owner(s). Recently i noticed that when i allow the tonal controls on it to function (the only way the amp allows the balance control to be...

Hi all. I've had a pair of AKG K550 headphones for about 5 or so years now, and they recently developed an altered frequency response (dip in treble) in one ear. Could this be due to a faulty cable? Id check, but the cable is not detachable... The source, my ears, and the seal have all been...
