    wireless noise cacelling

    Wife wants some wireless noise cancelling over the ear headphones. Which are the best all around? While sound quality is a factor, portability, battery life, and build quality are important. These will be used mainly for travel and want them to last.

    cheap cans with good noise blocking

    I am in the market for some $50-100, less is better, cans that block noise well. I will mostly use them for exercise on a Schwinn airdyne. I currently use Pioneer ??305s that I bought in high school. Sound is OK but the headband is getting really loose and the ear cups are shot. I want...

    How do you deal with

    those tiny balls? No not those, the ones in tone arm bearings. I am working on a Sansui that the bearings were loose on when I got it. Had some time today to take a look. When I pulled the arm apart all the bearings on each side stayed in place except one. I was able to easily...

    How is it possible

    that 2 speakers set about 6 feet apart can throw a sound stage over 15 feet wide when the room is only 11 ft? That the drum kit is 12 ft from the listener when the speakers are less than 7?

    Room in new house

    We are starting the process of building a new house, don't know exactly when it will happen but are looking at going forward soon. My original plan was to have a quite large room, say 20'x30' feet for my listening room and general man cave. It may include exercise equipment, pool table...

    Built Z19 crossovers for my Vals

    Like the title said, I built a set of Z19 xovers for my Vals. They have the 416-8z woofers and the 806-8a drivers on the 811b horns. For the most part the new xovers are an improvement. Sound stage is more open and deeper. More detail, more dynamic. Vocals are more out front and clearer...

    Keep that stylus clean

    As I have posted here I recently started using a M91ED with the SAS stylus. I had read that these stylus were prone to picking up more gunk out of the groove and needing cleaned more often. For the first 30 or so hours I never really noticed any difference and some of my LP's are not pristine...

    swoosh swoosh sound

    I recently picked up a Onkyo EQ35 that has a swoosh swoosh sound in the left channel when going through the EQ. Best way to describe it is kind of a wind sound. Any idea on what would cause this. I did a search but didn't come up with anything.

    Technics with M91ED & SAS is up and running

    Finally got the SL1600 that I bought last spring going. Put a Jico SAS on a M91ED that I had. Did a quick and dirty alignment with the over hang gauge and checked it with a protractor from LP Gear as best I could. That cantilever is almost a no-see-um for these eyes without a magnifier. So...

    Questions on Altec Valenia

    Picked these up last week. They are model 846U. They seem to be the same as the 846B in the 1975 catalog except they have the 416-8Z woofer instead of the 416-8B listed in the catalog. I haven't done a search yet, is this good or bad? Horns are the 811B with 806-8A drivers. The cabs are...

    Need advice on getting into tubes

    My only tubes so far is a DAC 09 with the tube output. i guess you would call it a buffer. Since I like what I hear, I am looking at maybe getting a tube amp. Don't want to spend a bunch or have a major project right off the bat. My question is where to start. Something like this...

    DAC-09 problem

    a while back I took my DAC-09 apart and turned on the volume control. Shortly I had a very week left channel that I traced to the DAC. Took it apart again and cleaned the contacts on the jumper with Deoxit. It was fine for the next session or two. Now the problem is back. Is it possible...
