Woofer signed GA Briggs and dated 1973.

One handed soldering. I'm sure there are other versions available.

Nine audio plug-ins worth looking at...

Or the height of laziness. As my mobility decreases with my old age I thought I'd combine some smart speakers with my existing tube and vintage solid state systems. So I hooked up my Google Home Mini to my Pilot tube amp, Altec tube amp, Big Blue Party speaker and Marantz 2220B playing over...

How do you edit your signature on AK? I used to know years ago but the format has changed.

Hooked up 2 HomePods in L/R stereo. Good quality and spacious sound but not exactly "room filling" as Apple describes it. Would not replace a good stereo system no would I pay $700. for a pair. However the sound is clear, clean, detailed and well dispersed, good separation, with deep, clean but...

Fully realizing that sound is highly subjective let me couch this question as a preference. Would you prefer a pair of Teac LSR-200 or a pair of NHT Super Zero or a pair of Radio Shack Walnut Minimus 7 speakers? I also know that the Teac lsr-200s are a part of a 5.1 home theater system but I'm...

I inherited this 72W, 5 driver, 1 passive radiator, 14 lb behemoth of a wireless portable speaker that will split your eardrums. It's no HomePod but it does a decent job of spacious sound with it's 4 corner placement of 4 full range drivers, 1 left firing 5.5 inch subwoofer and 1 right firing...

Has anyone experienced streaming dropouts from 3rd party apps on the iPhone 5, or any iPhone for that matter? If so was it corrected, and how? Thanks for any help.

Picked up a new Apple HomePod for a good price (free) and it beats by a mile any smart speaker I have including JBL Flip4. Very impressed with the fullness and detail of the sound quality. Even though it's Apple specific there is a way to easily stream other music sources to it. The HomePod...

I hope I'm explaining this correctly. It's my understanding that a wired stand alone amp's amplification will be affected by the amplification of a wired stand alone preamp hard wired to the amp and fed by a music source. In other words if I were to set the amp at full volume and the preamp at...

I thought over-the-air FM was a dying art. I have the obligatory FM tuner in all my vintage receivers but years ago I bought a Sony XDR-F1HD AM/FM tuner. I was solely impressed with the improvement over regular FM. Sony ended production of the XDR-F1HD several years ago. I think I paid $49.00...

Thought I'd explore a new delivery system.....bluetooth speakers. I must say these little things have come a long way with new technology. The JBL Flip 4 and Cambridge Soundworks OontZ Angle 3 Ultra are excellent small portable wireless speakers, especially given the price. The JBL is the better...

I bought a Google Home Mini just to fill the hotel room with OK music while staying at casinos or hotels in general. I was thinking of buying a Google Home which has superior sound for what it is but it's not as portable. The Mini is slightly bigger than a hockey puck and sounds surprisingly...

Just FYI. Amazon is selling Brainwavz large over the ear replacement ear pads for $17.77 as a lightning deal. Several colors available. Around 2 hours left for the sale...

Philips SHP9500S for $48.00. Hard to beat this deal currently at Newegg. Plus free shipping. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826138190&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=IGNEFL112117&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL112117-_-EMC-112117-Index-_-HeadphonesAccessories-_-26138190-S3A1A&ignorebbr=1

After decades of gathering, hoarding, un-hoarding (selling), repairing, restoring, and of course listening to medium to semi-high end stereo gear I have become a minimalist. Too old to do the things I once did my projects sit unattended, my decent gear just sits while I listen to a Mpow BT...

Which is the preferred way of shipping a tube amp, with tubes installed, with tubes removed and packed separately within same container, or tubes removed, packed separately and shipped under separate cover?

I bought 2 pairs of these earbuds from Venture Electronics about 2 years ago. They certainly are exceptional at almost any price but phenomenal at 5 bucks. The foam covers are a must. In fact the expansion pkg. of several foam covers plus ear hooks and rubber rings is a must, sold separately for...

Just hooked up my A/D/S L520's after a long stay in the garage with my Altec 345A amp. Sweet combo. Suburb soundstage and SQ. Thinking of painting the black metal grills a hammered copper. ??

$49.99 with free shipping.

This survey might be of interest to headphone junkies like me. It's probably dated and might have left out smaller companies or companies like Philips that manufacture headphones as a "sideline". But the brief history and ranking are worth the read IMO. Agree or disagree, here's the data. 30...

Almost all of my cans are less than 50 ohm so question #1 is would there be a significant/ noticeable increase in performance using a DAC/amp that is worth the cost of the item? Second given the answer to #1 is yes I would appreciate any suggestions for a good, portable DAC/amp. under $100.00. I...

I have a few cans in the just under $200 range, among them the Sennheiser 598's, the ATH-M50x and the AKG 240 Monitors, AKG K240's. But now I'm a Philips fan. PHILIPS!?? They make light bulbs, TV's and toothbrushes. Z says this much better than I could. I have both Philips models reviewed...

An album by Yasi Horikawa is available via Spotify on demand or purchase that will test your phones for imaging and soundstage like no other I've heard. Worth checking out. The first track, "bubbles" is especially revealing.
