So my Pioneer M-5000 died the other day and I'd like to fix it. Working fine one hour and when I try to turn it back on it sputters and dies after a second(literally).  Opened it up and try the obvious and take a look at the fuses, all look perfectly fine but I replaced them with the same type...

New rumors stating that Apple will be upgrading(?) their stock earbuds with a new alien looking type. Huge chance of them being fake, but i'm hopeful.  Wonder if they are using the same drivers but the interesting looking enclosure to increase bass response or some such.  Also I don't think...

So i've been wanting a binaural dummy head for almost a year now, finally got all the parts together yesterday. Ill be posting various recording i do here. Music, ambiance, whatever.  Currently I'm using a H4n to record everything, a $15 foam dummy head from amazon, some spliced wires, and a...

Check out this article on Gizmodo: http://gizmodo.com/5872804/samsungs-new-vacuum-tube-dock-plays-with-your-iphone-and-your-galaxy Samsung just released a iPhone/Galaxy S dock with "Vacuum Tube Technology". I wonder what tubes they are using? I find it funny that they act like tubes are some...

So when i listen to music and think about soundstage i just always thought it was the position of the sounds inside my head. Reading a bunch of things here I've realized that soundstage is actually supposed to sound like instruments outside my head in different places. The only time ive had that...

I didn't see this thread anywhere but if its out there a link would be nice. Like the title says, post pictures of what you got for Christmas, whatever it might be, audio related is preferred but definitely not required. Expecting a bum rush of posts Christmas afternoon but some might be...

If there already is a drawing-fi feel free to tell me and I will change the thread into something else or let it die. Well I was bored in algebra II today so I crudely drew my K240 that I had in front of me, and it made me wonder if any of you could draw headphones better than me, which I think...

Ha so today my brother showed me a import/export website saying i could get anything for the best prices.  He told me to look for something i wanted so naturally i typed "HD800".  This > http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/393283389/new_arrival_perfect_comfortable_authentic_headphone.html came up...

I'm building a new desktop cmoy and i'm wondering if I should use this http://tangentsoft.net/audio/hs-opamp.html so i can use LM6172. Is the op-amp that much better that it'd be worth the extra time and money? If not any recommendation on what op-amp i should use? I like detailed balanced...

I just picked up a  24v 450ma transformer from radioshack to use with a cheap desktop cmoy.   the schematic i'm going off of http://tangentsoft.net/audio/cmoy-tutorial/misc/cmoy-tangent-sch.pdf 1.  I have a wire with ground to the wall jack(three prong) would this make anything easier or...

After building my portable CMoy amp i realized that it is better then my current desktop amp.  I have a nice enclosure that was used in the late 70s(I think) for a guitar distortion amp, I pulled out all the previous circuitry and found it pretty interesting, looks like it was built by a audio...
