Can anyone recommend a supplier for replacement ear pads for the AKG K361, thanks.

I'm trying to decide which one of my two spare turntables to sell and which one to keep. The choice is between a Thorens TD105 mk2 with a AT-VM95ML, and a Thorens TD165 with a Grado Blue3. Both have new belts, both have damped plinths and both sound superb. The question is :- which do I keep and...

Does anyone know where I can get a perspex cover made up for a turntable? I'm in Durban, thanks.

I'm looking for a TD105 mk2 belt. I believe its the same belt that fits a TD150 and a few other models. Can anyone suggest a supplier? Thanks.

I'm running a Luxman PD284 with the tonearm rewired internally with some Cardas cable bought from Croak a while back. After the rewiring exercise, I replaced the AT91 cartridge with an AT-VM95E, and the tonearm cable from the turntable to my ECP1 phono stage with some Mogami 2549 microphone...

I'm considering upgrading my speaker cables from an old set of Monster MCX 1's . Looking at either the VDH The Clearwater or The Arctic, 1.5m per side. Has anyone experienced these? Any other recommendations or thoughts? I listen to mainly classical music , both vinyl and cd. Thanks.

After much thought and courage building, I bit the bullet and rewired the tonearm with some Cardas tonearm cable from Croak. The cable arrived with cartridge lugs, colour coded heatshrink, solder flux and instructions on how to go about the project. After several hours of listening after...

I've been using an old set of Sennheiser CX300 in ear headphones for ages, listening to mainly classical music, but I would like to upgrade to a full sized over ear set. I am presently looking at the Beyerdynamic DT240PRO and the AudioTechnica ATH-M40X. Has anyone had experiences with these? Any...

When a set of valves is considered matched, be it a quad set or a pair, are all values matched, or are only certain values matched?

Whilst doing a cleanup during lockdown, I found a few things that were tucked away and forgotten about. 1. Cramolin red / blue kit 2. Tweek 3. Audioquest Cartridge demagnetizer 4. Shure stylus tracking force guage 5. Audio Technica vibratory stylus cleaner Anyone remember ever using these...

Has anyone had any thoughts or personal experience with Audiolab equipment, specifically the 8200Q pre-amp and 8000P power amp combination? Just curious :)

I see lots of posts here on various brands of vintage equipment, but hardly anything on JVC stuff. Were they not as popular in their time? I have a setup consisting of an A-X2 integrated amp, a T-X3 tuner and a KD-A55 tape deck, all in working condition, sounding very good and still looking good...

Does anyone else on the forum run a PD284? I've been running mine now for quite a while with an old Shure V15-III and a replacement stylus from Thakker. While it sounded very musical, to me, it lacked certain things like detail and transparency. To cut a long story short, with the lockdown and...

I have this reel to reel deck that's been tucked away for the best part of 20 odd years. It worked perfectly the last time I used it over 20 years ago. Anyone have an idea as to it's worth in terms of a collectable vintage piece, or a heavy doorstop?  :)

Are there any serious classical LP collectors on the forum? I'm considering selling off my collection of classical LP's. Trying to gauge whether there is a demand or not. The albums (+-800 to 1000) consist of single albums and boxed sets, from "Albinoni to Wieniawski".

I found four of these valves stashed away in a corner. I remember getting them from the late Wim Bouwman years back and vaguely recall being asked to try them out in place of EL34's. Can anyone shed any light on their use/application? They are a matched pair of Du Monts and a matched pair of...

I dug this long forgotten double deck out of a cupboard recently, looking for a tuner which I thought I had. After cleaning off the dust etc. I hooked it up for a test drive. Deck A plays beautifully, Deck B a bit slow, but no fast forward or reverse! On further inspection, it seems that all it...

I was given 4 6L6GC valves and was told that they are interchangeable with EL34's. Is this correct. or BS? I use EL34's, so should I keep them or dump them?

Does anyone remember the small LP's? They were the size of the 78 rpm records - about 250mm as opposed to the 300mm of the normal LP.

I have been using a Thule Spirit 150B (Digit II) cd player for the last 10 years or so. As an upgrade, would the addition of a DAC make a big sound improvement on this "old" technology, or would it make more sense to replace the unit? Just curious...
