    sennheiser hd 250 linear 1 600 ohm variant vs 300 ohm version?

    I picked up a pair of kef 101 studio monitors today and I got a pair of hd 250s with them for free. I am pretty familiar with the hd 540s though I do not currently have a pair to compare them to, but I have never heard the hd 250s before today. Now back to the main topic I measured my pair and...

    Changing resistors on a vintage headphone output?

    On my Pioneer 7500, which I use as a headphone amp, I was wondering if anyone knew what impact, if any, changing the resistors before the headphone jack would do? Either upgrading to an 'audiophile' part (versus whatever they used on the assembly line back then) or messing with the values The...

    Wadia 27ix Digital to Analog Converter (and other pre-2007 Wadia DACs)

    I didn't know where to post this and didn't want to hijack an existing thread, so I decided to start one. Recently, a friend of mine was kind enough to pass along a small portion of his considerable knowledge and experience, and in doing so casually threw down a gauntlet: compare a 20+ year old...

    Closed over-ear headphones Ultrasone Edition 9, Signature Pro and Signature Master - the vintage experts

    It was in 2008 when, after the good test of the Ultrasone Edition 9 in Stereoplay, I received a pair from my trusted dealer together with the headphone amplifier C.E.C. HD53 to test at home. Although I already had a rather warm and sonorous playing CD player with the Trigon Recall I at that...

    Where can I listen to original masters of old albums?

    Lately, I have been listening to a lot of older albums, namely a lot of The Beatles and Electric Light Orchestra among others, and I've found That almost all of The Beatles albums on major streaming services (I tend to use apple music) are remastered versions. Don't get me wrong, I think they...

    Need help identifying my late grandfather's equipment

    Hey guys. If I'm in the wrong place hopefully an administrator will move this post for me. So my grandfather passed away a few years ago and my aunt (his daughter) was going through his stuff recently and happened upon a couple big boxes full of vacuum tubes. I know he was an electrician bit he...

    Guilty Pleasures (Gear you shouldn't use but can't stop using)

    I was wondering if any of you have any component (headphone, mp3 player, amp, etc) that you know you shouldn't use because it has some sort of issue, but which you go back to for whatever reason (a sort of guilty audio component pleasure). Mine is this MP3 player that came out in the early...

    Please help me identify the model of these vintage chrome 70s headphones I lost in a divorce

    I received these funky vintage chrome/silver/aluminum/metal cone-shaped on-ear headphones as a Christmas gift from an old friend in 2015. They were stolen by my ex-wife when she moved out, and I've been unable to track down a replacement pair ever since. 90% sure they were made in Japan and...

    Balance potentiometer on my amp lost center - how do i fix it?

    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...

    My newest find: 1913 Edison C150

    Couldn't help myself and had to snag this up since I will probably never get another chance. It's working and has quite a few of the Diamond disks with it. What are your thoughts on it? Not to sure fiber have many who care for vintage audio, but felt I should share.

    New laser on Sony cdp-x3000es

    Hi guys, found this forum when looking up on how to change the laser on my cd player. I recently acquired it as it fits well with my other equipment but noticed that it skips quite badly. From sometimes jumping back a second on early tracks to looping 10-15 seconds on later tracks. I've ordered...

    Shigzeo's decades-late Minidisc review thread

    Hey guys and girls, I know this is perhaps decades late, but I've recently been getting back into Minidisc. Reasons are outlined below but I intend to update this thread when I have a new review/video of units I have on hand, ones I think are worth keeping, ones I think are trash, and ones I...

    Replacement Pads for Koss K-6

    I found a pair of Koss K-6 at an antiques store and impulse bought them. Now I'm trying to refurbish them. There is a crackle when the cable is moved and they only work when the cable is in one particular position, so I will be either redoing the connections or the entire wire, but I digress...
