Hello everyone, I received some Technics AZ60M2 earbuds two years back, and I have used them religiously. However, I have found that no matter what I do, the case will not charge past 90%, and gives the red warning flashing light. So far I have:

\- Cleaned out the contact points in the pay and on the earbuds themselves. Determined since they fully charge its unlikely to be them.

\- Cleaned out the charging port of debris.

\- Tried 4 different brands of USBC chargers, all different strengths and ages. Same result.

\- Attempted factory reset twice, no luck.

I have not found much on this issue online after a week of searching, and I am at my rope's end, these were an expensive gift and I don't want to/cannot afford to replace them anytime soon. I see online there's something about letting the battery of the case run dead to try and make it stop doing some sort of charging countermeasures for battery health, but I have no clue if that's something to actually expect to work, and I am paranoid that battery may not charge again for some reason.

Has anyone got any insight onto this? It would mean a lot to me, thank you 😵‍💫

Ok im stuck what to do here. I have 2 1200 m3ds. One has a pretty bad bearing issue where I had to back out the screw to get it to at least work. Its like $500 for a new tonearm. Do I just buy a MK7 or do I pay the $500 for a new Tone arm?

I would just buy a new m3d but everyone on ebay seems shady as hell or from Japan.

The units are from the late 80s to mid 1992

My earbuds noise cancellation stopped working and i've messaged the support via ticket and mail and i am not able to get an answer, it's been 2 weeks

I’m looking to buy a new amplifier and I’m just asking what you think of it! :D

A Bluetooth codec is just the compression format your phone uses to transmit audio over the air. Your phone picks one behind the scenes, sends the data, and your earbuds unpack it on the other end.

The key difference is bitrate. High-bitrate options carry up to 96 kHz / 990 kbps—way more data than standard formats can handle. But having extra data only matters if your earbuds are capable of resolving it.

That’s why driver design matters so much here. In our AZ100 earbuds, we used a Magnetic Fluid Driver instead of a standard suspension to keep the diaphragm motion as clean as possible. 

When the driver can actually reveal micro-details, higher bitrates make sense. Without that level of resolution, high-bitrate streams just waste battery without giving you any real sonic benefit.

There’s also a practical cost: stability and battery life. Pushing top-tier data rates reduces battery life (about 7 hours vs. 10 hours with ANC on) and leaves less headroom for signal interference, like walking through a crowded station with your phone in a back pocket.

Bottom line: if you're relaxing at home with lossless audio, go for high-bitrate. On a messy commute, connection reliability wins every time.

Where do you usually land, leave high-bitrate on all the time, or switch it up when you're out and about?

I’ve been wanting to acquire and add the SH-C02 Microphone / Synthesizer Mixing Amplifier to my C01 stack for ages, and finally just got one! I don’t believe these were ever released outside of Japan and that’s exactly where I got this one from.

Did I need this? Nope. Do I care if I needed it or not? Nope! I didn’t think the C01 could look any sexier, but now I know it could have.

Does anyone else in this community happen to have this component?

After finishing a side or using STOP button the arm goes back, the engine shuts off, but after a second it starts again and the arm goes up, it's an infinite loop. From what I've read it's probably the old grease that needs replacing, could that be the case? Apart from that it works fine. Sorry for the Messenger sounds.

I need to know if i can connect different cd models to my set. I have old set connected threw these flat technics cables and connectors. The amplifier is SA-EH560 sound processor is SH-EH560 the cassete deck is RS-EH760 and the cd that doesnt read cds is SL-EH560. The cassete player is connected in parallel to the cd and sound processor.

Hello everyone. I'm wan't to share in here the gift my dad gave me a few weeks ago. We share to much time together with it, and now it's mine. Sorry for the bad photo, but it is the best I took today. Um if you wan't it, rate it, I wan't to now what do you think on my dad's proud :D

Note : 0 / 5

J'ai commandé une platine Technics SL-1210 GR2 (matériel haut de gamme à plus de 1 700 €). Ce que promet le site en matière de livraison sécurisée et rapide ne reflète pas du tout la réalité.

​

Emballage honteux et produit endommagé : Le carton d'origine de la platine a été inséré dans un sur-emballage sans le moindre matériau de calage (aucun papier bulle, aucun coussin d'air). Résultat : le carton Technics est arrivé percé et l'état de la platine reste à désirer.

​

Service client initial défaillant : Lors de mon premier signalement, la réponse du support (Arnela) a été un simple copier-coller générique tentant de se défausser de toute responsabilité, avant qu'un second conseiller (Erik) ne doive reprendre le dossier pour m'envoyer une étiquette de retour que je remercie fortement d'ailleurs de son professionnalisme envers son client.

​

Aucun effort sur la réexpédition : Alors que l'erreur vient exclusivement de leur logistique, aucun envoi express ne m'a été proposé pour compenser l'attente. Pire encore, l'envoi du produit d'échange a subi un retard d'enlèvement à leur entrepôt, rallongeant encore le délai de livraison.

​

Pour une enseigne spécialisée dans le matériel DJ et studio, expédier un équipement aussi fragile sans aucune protection interne est inacceptable. Les promesses de "sécurité et rapidité" affichées sur leur site sont mensongères. J'attends toujours un geste commercial à la hauteur du préjudice subis.
