    Replacing a headphone jack? (C-4)

    So long story short, last summer I tripped over a headphone cable, destroying both the headphone plug, cable, and the amp's jack.

    Headphone adapter, for sure vintage

    I got this, before I even find the amp. Because NOS stuff is impossible to find. From the Sony hifi era, love the color and the attention to detail.

    IFi Zen Can balanced inputs

    I recently ordered an IFi Zen Can to use my Audeze LCD-2 (pre-fazor) with my McIntosh MX110z. The McIntosh doesn’t have a balanced output but I found an RCA cable that goes from an unbalanced RCA connection to a balanced 4.4 Pentaconn. I’m a little confused about the balanced input on the...

    Been meaning to upgrade from my headphones to a proper gaming headset for a while, and ended up with deciding between the Corsair Virtuoso or the Audio-Technica ATH-G1. They both fit my budget range (might as well go spend a pretty penny if I'm going to buy something that'll last me a good...

    Won a used Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL 2 on eBay

    Ok, so I ended up winning a used Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL 2 on eBay. It has the Linear power supply upgrade, remote control and looks to have a longer than standard DC power cable.

    Noisy Headphone Jack on Marantz 1030?

    Guys, I recently picked up an integrated Marantz and it sounds great--save for the fact that plugging in a pair of headphones results in some fairly noticeable static and perhaps even some faint humming that won't change despite any volume adjustment. To be clear, there's some faint static...
