Thanks for the input! I'll check it all out. I actually had an AKG K240 (but the old version) which was quite nice. I also see Sennheiser has a new HD599 out which also looks promising.

Hi guys, I'm looking for a few open back headphone suggestions since I'm in the market for another set :groovy: I'm going to mainly use it for music listening but also for gaming. I listen to a wide variety of genres but favor older rock (80s, 90s stuff). At the moment the HD598 is on paper...

I had a quick listen to the PSB cans this weekend and I have to say that the audio quality is excellent. However, that said, my primary use for the headphones are going to be for traveling and general use when on holiday. For other listening I'll use my ATH-M50x. I have decided to not take them...

I need help to drown out some noise so-to-speak :groovy: I'm currently in the market for some noise cancelling headphones and with a trip planned in 3 weeks time, so this is the perfect time to upgrade. I have a Sennheiser PXC250 that did service for about 7 years. I got some prices and it is...

Do have the service manual for the SP10? It explains how to calibrate with an oscilloscope. If you need it you can PM me your email and I'll send it.

Do you know someone who has a oscilloscope? See if there is ripple on the 5V and 32.5V rails. Did you recap the PSU as well? I have 2 SP10s (had a 3rd) and with all 3 when calibrating the speed I had to do it in sequence: 33.3; 45; 78. You also have to do it with an oscilloscope to get it 100%...

Yes, I will definitely get rid of the PCI card and go all digital (HDMI). The TV and projector are in the same room and what I was hoping to do with the AVR is to be able to route the HTPC video to the TV when the kids watch cartoons, etc. during the day and when we watch movies with the...

Hi guys, Some background before my question... I've slowly started to upgrade my home theater. First was adding a projector and next on my list is the AVR due to the current one only supporting hdmi pass-through. I currently have a pci audio card in my htpc to give optical audio to the AVR. I'm...

I am considering to buy the DH1008. Is there any other model I should look at? This one is about what I was looking at spending. It will be used to watch movies on at home. Ambient light wis not an issue as we mainly watch at night.

What a start to the weekend... :dop: I got them just before I went home after work so only tried them out a while ago. OH MY they are so much nicer than my old set. A lot more detailed. I let my wife try them out and almost had to wrestle them from her to have another listen  ;D I'm busy...

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I had a look at all of them and also checked out a few reviews re HD518. I changed my mind to rather go with closed back set due to sound leakage. I came across the ATH-M50x set and decided to up my budget and pulled the trigger on it. Hopefully I'll...

Hi, So I currently use an AKG K240 Monitor 600Ohm and they are quite old - late 80's / 90's I guess. Anyway, they are falling apart so I think now is a good time to replace them. I have no idea what to get...I do prefer something that will cover my whole ear and max budget is about R1500. I...

Thanks for everyone's input  :2thumbs: I think I'll try the Woodoc 5 as I would like a matte finish on the wood. I have some small off-cuts that I will try it on first. I'll post some pics of the TT in the plinth once I'm done.

Thanks, will get some after work and test on some off-cut of the wood.

Thanks! I would say peppery is close...but I'm not the best at describing smells so I will ask a few friends how they would describe the smell as well. I've never worked with wax on wood - is there a specific type I should get?

Hi Guys, I'm busy building a plinth for  a turntable and got some hardwood planks from a friend. I've cut and sanded it and need to treat the wood with oil, but I'm having a bit of trouble identifying the type of wood. This is what it looks like after sanding. When cutting / sanding the wood...

Hi everyone, I hope this is the correct place to post this... Someone gave me a pair of HD770's. They seem to be in ok nic but the one is without its woofer. The driver was stolen out of the cabinet :headbanger: What drivers can I replace it with that is not crazy expensive?  I also suspect...

Thanks! Will def go and have a look at those cartridges. I have a friend who is also interested to get into vinyl and I'm going to give either the Pioneer or the Sony to him - just not sure which one  :whistler: The other one I'd like to keep fully functional as well.

Hi Everyone First post and happy to join the forum :thumbs: I have been wanting to get into vinyl for some time now and I finally got some TTs. I resurrected a Sony PS-LX2 and a Pioneer PL-320. I also have a Technics SP10 MKII. I'm also starting a couple of projects: Building a Phono preamp...
