    WTB Headshell

    Hey Gang, Looking for a headshell, I need something somewhat lightweight and kinda fancy? IDK. If you have a nice headshell sitting around and were thinking "man I should sell this but I am lazy" then shoot me a message! I'd prefer non-wood variants. Carbon fiber etc.. This is for the S...

    OFF Anybody got a WiiM pro plus or pro f/s?

    Yeah I know they're cheap, but so I am I. I'd rather have a Pro+ but Pro is definitely an option. Thanks!

    How do you describe this hobby to strangers?

    Hey guys, this was sparked in my mind by another post about audiophiles. I tend to be pretty friendly and outgoing for the most part and inevitably hobbies come up when talking to new people and colleagues at work. One of my hobbies is audio of course. I find myself cringing when I use the...

    DIY Verifying proper operation of gear with test equipment

    This is a bit of an overwhelming ask for some reason for me but I am going to do it anyway. I have found over the years that I want to verify the signal output of various devices. Phono stages, amp outputs. whatever. This is usually because everything I run has some years on it, my ears aren't...

    Preamp tubes getting microphonic - Time to replace?

    Hey gang, So in my preamp that uses a quad of 12AU7s, I have a microphonic tube. I can hear it ring when any of the input relays switch etc. So it's obviously time to investigate new tubes on some level. Is it usually a safe bet that if a tube is getting microphonic it's pretty well end of...

    DIY Andrew Trezek - Very possibly another vintage audio repair scammer FYI

    Hey gang, This guy lived in MN and is now somewhere in WI. I am hearing multiple accounts of him taking gear in for repair and it disappearing from folks on facebook. Interestingly I actually met that Noah character who pulled the same crap up here when he lived near by me too. If somehow...

    Sold Paradigm Servo 15 subwoofer, local PU near Madison, WI price drop - $300

    I'll get photos of this thing later today, but it's a killer sub. It's in a black cabinet that's in good condition. Yes I have the external crossover setup for it. The hoarder in me says keep it but I can't envision a near-term use case for it, and it's not the only one I have on a shelf...

    Where's a good source for cd player belts nowadays?

    I see lots of hits on ebay but I want to put new belts in this Sony 707ESD that now resides in my office (and I have been using it). I haven't had to buy belts for anything ever, so I'm not sure who the go-to is! Thanks guys,

    Sony CDP-707ESD drawer hangs up when opening

    Hey gang, in a twist of fate I fell into an incredible deal on a pile of gear last night. One of those pieces is a Sony CD-707ESD. Cosmetically good for the age but not perfect, but the drawer hangs up when opening. If you hit eject and lift up just a touch on the drawer you can feel it...

    Helping a friend navigate choosing speakers, input is appreciated.

    Alright gang, I have a good friend that's been borrowing a system from me for several years and is ready to branch out and buy his own stuff. Currently he runs a Technics SU-9070, NAD 214 power amp, M&K V125 subwoofer, and Boston CR67s set up in a dedicated room. I don't need any of this gear...

    Adverse effects of "storing" speakers in very cold climates?

    Hi guys, We have a family cottage in northern WI where it gets very cold. I don't think -20 is unusual in the winter. I really don't like the way that stereo sounds and want to do some upgrading, and I'm thinking speakers will cure what ails me. Is there any risk of degradation of equipment...

    Modern version, or better than the minimus 7? Need something for background music

    Hey gang, I have a long, narrow room I am finishing in our house and it will require audio of course. It's roughly 9x30 so I plan to use 4 or so small speakers mounted high on the long wall for audio and summed mono at the amp. In wall and in ceiling aren't going to work in here unless they're...

    Can I run single ended inputs into a preamp with balanced inputs?

    Here's the cliffsnotes. I am interested in an integrated with three single ended inputs, and two XLR inputs. I need more than three single ended inputs. Is it possible to use an adapter? Thanks guys!

    Need a headshell for my Technics EPA-A250 armwand

    Hey gang, I never gave headshells a second thought until I didn't have one. Any benefit to going with anything besides OEM technics? Hopefully not. What's a good source for these? I see tons of them around but I can't ever tell if they're authentic OEM. Normally I wouldn't care too much but...

    12B4 linestage documentation

    Hey gang, here is the stuff that Douglas gave me (PakProtector on AK). And a schematic that's from DIYaudio. I don't stake claim to any of this documentation beyond "I used it". For that matter I don't even know if this is anything special at all. @Salectric I know you were interested in this.

    Sony TTS-8000 Content - JohnVF's old table.

    This is my TT now. I had to sell my soul and trade off one of my absolute best piece of gear. This is the other half of the SME V situation @JohnVF has going on. I looked at his prior thread and did not see any finished photos, since I got it in a box that makes sense. I had the armboard made...

    Can we discuss high(er) end TT's with auto return etc??

    Hi gang, After years of having my sony PS-X5 in my living room and my oracle TT in my "main system" (which rarely got used) I really became accustomed to auto return etc.. and now that my Oracle lives in my main audio system I'm missing that simplicity. It's pretty much impossible to use the...
