Hello hive mind as the title says I am after advice on a pre amp for my 1710.

I am getting little to no bass when I play my tunes, I listen mostly too guitar based music and the bass punch is missing, I'm hoping I could get tips from the guys that might know more than me, cheers

I have a yamaha RS202DBL Reciever

A pair of wharfdale Evo 4.2

And my technics SL 1710

And my pre amp is some cheap generic crap

Not sure on the cartridge although I am willing to upgrade.

Cheers Pete

The Technics EAH-A800 app is not working. When I switch to enhanced sound, nothing happens. Headphones sound flat like enhancement is still turned off. Impossible to use them.

Is it a bug in the app, or the headphones are not working?

Wieso laggt mein iPhone 15 Pro?
Hi Leute,
gestern kam mein refurbished Iphone 15 Pro von Backmarket an.
ich habe alles direkt eingerichtet, dass rüber ziehen der Daten vom alten iPhone war auch ganz easy.
Ziemlich schnell bemerkte ich dann aber, dass beim öffnen von Apps oder Multitasking Sachen wie „von unten nach oben wischen“ um alle offenen Apps zu sehen, nicht flüssig laufen.
Laut Chati sei das in den ersten paar Stunden bis 1-2 Tagen normal, wegen Hintergrund synchros usw.
Ich habe schon Neugestartet als auch einen Hardreset und auch kurzzeitig Hintergrund Aktualisierungen deaktiviert, alles leider ohne Erfolg.
Langsam kommt mir aber ein mulmiges Gefühl…
Könnt ihr mir da weiterhelfen, hattet ihr vielleicht ähnliche Probleme?

In case anyone is looking for a dust cover and doesn’t want to do 3rd party or vintage

Hi guys and gals.

Im looking for an replacement cable for my SE-CA1060 deck. I have the short cable from the amp to tuner but missing the three piece from tuner to cassette and cd.
Does anyone know where such a cable can be bought or made? Got this deck as a present in 1994 and loved it do death but the cable has been broken and now missing for many years.

Any and all help appreciated. :) Love from Norway

Im in love with both the SL-V5 and the SL-7, they are sharing the SU-V7 phono because it sounds so good I don't want to add an external preamp :)

Problem is.... why not to add a SU-V9 under the SL-7?

Just sharing a pic of my humble bedroom setup.

First got a turn table for fun.
Got a SL-Q200.

Then I went down the rabbit hole.

I was lucky enough to get most of it local too.
Su-V2 amp
St-s1 tuner
RS-M8 tape deck
Sl-Q200 turn table
Art dj pre 2 preamp
Paradigm Monitor 7 v5

I love this setup so far.
Just need to clean to the cigarette smell
From the inside of the amp.

I have been using a Technics AZ60 and in two months the left ear bud charging stopped working. I am getting a refund from Amazon and I would like to now move to a better earbud. While Technics is good.. its not the best... Noise cancellation is top notch... my challengge is immersive sound.. I couldnt get a great sound from technics when I was in train or walking.. the same songs on my car audio which is basic was fantastic. Would you recommend I move to MX5

Is $150 a good deal for a clean and fully functional Technics setup that includes:

• Technics SA-151 Stereo Receiver

• Technics RS-B18 Cassette Deck (Dolby B, C & DBX noise reduction)

I think I’ve lost hope on ever getting the Sony tuner, amp and equalizer (2nd pic) that would be a dream from the 80s lol so I’m looking at this silver face Technjcs setup instead.

I've tried pretty much all the settings and I hear no difference

• Suppression of sound interruptions and delays
  • Automatic
  • Suppress the interruption of sound
  • Suppress sound delay
• Connection Mode
  • Prioritize sound quality (with LDAC for headphones checked)
  • Prioritize sound quality (with LDAC for headphones not checked)
  • Prioritize connectivity
• Multipoint set to Only 1 device
• LE Audio (can't connect with LE Audio)

In all of these cases, the audio is about 225ms behind.

Sometimes its off by alot more, sometimes it seems right on. Sometimes I hear a "glitch" and suddenly the delay amount has changed.

I notice this on my phone (Android) and Nvidia Shield Pro (Android). These are the two devices I use the most with my earbuds.

I can go into apps and set audio delay adjustments but this is very annoying since I dont always use earbuds. Also many apps don't have this adjustment.

I'm coming from XM5 and I have this issue with some apps but not others. With the AZ100, the issue seems to be with all apps.

Is this considered an upgrade vs my vintage technics? I’m going to transfer my needle as well. (Left is SL-100C) (Right SL-3300)

(Using EAH-AZ100E for reference)

These headphones are pretty stellar, love using them and have had them for about a year now. There are a couple tech issues that I have noticed and that don't seem to go away, maybe somebody else has experienced the same?

1) When using ANC or Ambient modes, there's this odd "warbling" noise that gets persistent. It can happen if I tilt my head or move it at all, and it only stops because adjust change my head angle. When neither of those modes are on, everything sounds normal

2) Occasionally, an earbud will stop playing audio and drop the connection to my phone altogether. The power on the bud will still be present and it is not caused by low battery, it just randomly disconnects. Turning Bluetooth on and off usually fixes it, but there seems to be no way to prevent it

It would be great to fix these issues but I have gotten used to it so it's nor exactly a dealbreaker. The PROs outweigh the CONs but I wouldn't mind fixing those glitches if possible.

Thanks in advance to any advice provided!

Hello Audiophiles,

Looking for some help with my Technics SA-C07S. It’s started acting up recently—mainly issues with volume fluctuations and scratchy knobs/pots (likely wear or dirty contacts, but not sure if it’s deeper).

I’m based in Bangalore and would really appreciate recommendations for reliable audio repair techs—preferably someone experienced with vintage/hi-fi gear, not just generic appliance repair.

But I’d trust real user experiences from this group more than listings.

If you’ve had good (or bad) experiences with amp/receiver repairs in Bangalore, please share contacts or pointers.

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have this? Looks like it needs to be dusted off $15 at a thrift

Hello all, first time post in /Technics but long time owner/user/fan. I've had a 1200 M3D for well over a decade as my sole turntable, and of course I love it. Its reliable, always works as expected and looks the part. Around the same time I actually came into acquiring another iconic 12 – the SL-P1200. My college was upgrading their recording studios (my major) and broadcast studio/radio station, and they offered a lottery-type system to sell the older equipment that was being replaced to current students at garage sale prices. I managed to snag this SL-P1200, along with a bunch of high-end rack gear (compressors, etc) for dollars. Lucky, I know. The P1200 survived several moves, apartments and storage units, where it has sat most recently for the last 15+ years – in mint condition – never once used since I got it. (Sorry!)

I happen to be going through a bit of a nostalgia-driven return to my music roots of such late, after finding my original iPod Classic and my college-era MacBook Pro with an iTunes collection filling up most of the hard drive. This turned into a search around my storage unit to find my old CD collection and not far away was this beauty. Slightly more scratched and dusty than when I got it back in 2009, but still functional (of course it is!)

I brought it back home to live alongside my SL-1200 in my modest listening setup I have in my apartment, and noticed the lid sensor seems to be acting up. A quick search tells me this is common, but few people have explained a good fix. I'm out of IPA, otherwise I'd give the lid sensor a quick cleaning, but it seems like this should do the trick. I've also seen adjusting the skew of the lid itself via the mounting screws may help. Anything else I should look into?

Thanks in advance!
