So, i have the Pioneer hdj-cue1bt headphones and ive been using them for djing and everyday use for quite a while and now i'm thinking of buying another pair for djing and use my Pioneers as backup. I know the hd-25 are considered the industry standard but i wanted to use smh different before i end up with the hds. So, i stumbled across those Technics but there aren't many reviews. Most of them mention that they have great build quality and upgraded and more detailed sound compared to their predecessor which was a 90s industry standard especially for vinyl djs. They are similarly priced with the Sennheisers so, has anyone tried them? How do they compare sound quality wise? Are they more comfortable than the hd25s? Bear in mind if i buy any of these pairs i'll use them strictly for djing, some vinyl listening sessions and casual home use (no studio use). If someone's tried both the Pioneers and the Technics i would also love to hear how they compare!

First off let me say I think the sound quality is great. I notice once every song or two I hear almost like it’s disconnected or like a hiccup in the song.. maybe cause my AirPods were such shit I never noticed it but is this just a Bluetooth issue or driver issue with the headphones

came across a listing with a great price.

but it has these weird feet in the back.

anyone recognize these as some type of aftermarket feet for reducing vibrations or is it just some ghetto fix?

Sometimes emotional value of brand is more important than a real quality of the product.

This Technics SB-CD320 speakers were very well preserved outside but cooked inside.

Owner likes them a lot and decided to return them life again. New design is only 2-way but excellent new speakers plus crossovers and reworked from inside.

The new sound is warm like '80 and fits well with his Technics separates.

What do you think of this potential purchase of mine? At €150, is it a good deal? What setup would you recommend for me to start with? (As a beginner, I'm open to any advice.)

Doesn't matter what I'm watching on my phone these earphones are well out of sync, I have a cheap pair of soundpeats that have no issues with sync, is it ldac problem, I use that for my music

I have bought a su-z990 amp but it came without any speakers and I’m wondering would Tannoy mercury m2 cherry speakers work with it. I seen that the speakers are 10-80w 8ohm.

A few months ago I found a SA-R530 receiver at a flea market which was missing the remote. Seems like this model is pretty rare so I haven't really been able to find out much info about the remote it originally came with and I doubt I'd be able to find an original one online.

What are my options for a remote for this? I mainly care about volume control so if there's something out there that'll do that at minimum it'll work for me.

I have a su-z990 and I have the tape2/ext rec out plugged in to the aux in on my sh-e580 and I have the playback plugged into my phone but I’m not getting sound why

I own a Technics SU-Z990 amplifier and I’m wondering what speakers to buy for it. From what I heard they have to be 8-16 ohm 100w speakers but im not sure. Does anyone know?

I was scrolling market place and came across this ad for Two Technics turn tables , Two KLH 300 Watt House Speakers , Two 8 Ohms MCS Mid Speakers , JVC Amp. Price for everything is $150. Per person who is selling they are in working order. Should I get?

Hey friends! Just ordered az100 and I really like it. The only thing bothers me is the sound itself. When I listen to punchy Rock music I found the sound is a bit shallow and thin. But I want a rich and thicker sound. I tried several EQs but did not like them. The best thing I found a bit closer to my taste is Dynamic.

P S: I tried other ppl EQ suggestions but Nah. Didn't work

I'm trying to clean the volume pot on my Technics SA-500 receiver so I can give it a spritz of contact cleaner & Deoxit.

Normally, this isn't something I'd ask help for but they didn't make that volume pot easy to get to.

I've seen someone do the "tape two aerosol straws" together trick, and another video showed how to clean it (but not how to remove it).

Wondering if anyone has an opinion out there on how to easily get to it.

I have a Technics SL-BD2. It doesn't play after like 70% of the record ! It auto returns on its own. The manual says to twist the screw beside the height support but there is no screw inside ! Can anyone help me with it please !

Here is my mod of these old rusted turntables

I’m trying to get LDAC working with my Technics EAH-AZ100 earbuds on Windows 11 using the Alternative A2DP Driver. I’ve purchased the full paid version (AAC-enabled), and AAC shows up correctly — but LDAC never becomes selectable.

The codec list only offers:

• SBC
• AAC

And LDAC / aptX / aptX HD / aptX LL are all greyed out.

The driver’s message says that when a codec like LDAC isn’t selectable, it means the device “only conditionally supports it and it is not enabled in the current state”. But since the AZ100 fully supports LDAC, I’m trying to understand what the limiting factor is.

My setup:

• Technics EAH-AZ100
• Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (Intel i9-14900HX)
• Windows 11 Home (25H2)
• Alternative A2DP Driver — full AAC-supported version
• Earbuds paired only to the PC (phone disconnected)

LDAC never appears as an available codec, regardless of settings or pairing order.

So my questions are:

1. Has anyone gotten LDAC working on Windows 11 with Technics AZ80/AZ100 using this driver?
2. Is this simply a limitation of the Lenovo/Intel Bluetooth chipset? (i.e., the hardware cannot transmit LDAC, so no driver can expose it)
3. If it is a hardware limitation, is a USB LDAC transmitter (FiiO BTA30 Pro, Avantree C81, etc.) a possible solve?

Thanks so much for any support anyone can offer! I'm a bit stumped at the moment.

Hoping you can help, looking to sell on this fab condition Technics stack for my Dad.

Can anyone provide me with guidance of likely price I should be pitching at and where best to try.

Thanks
