    Marantz 2325 No Headphones and No Speaker Terminal Output but Relay Clicks?

With a DBT connected the protection relay clicks two seconds after powering up. I am using my signal tracer to follow a 1k tone running through AUX and can trace...

    Fosi Audio recently sent me a fairly new product to try out, their N3 bluetooth receiver/headphone amp. It's a bit of a niche product but I was interested to review one after seeing the photos. It is currently available on "that auction site" for $60, but I don't see it yet on Fosi's main...

    Headphone's off balance after fixing TRS, how do I diagnose?

    Having a balance issue and feel I'm at a wall I recently broke my headphone plug and had to solder a new plug about a month ago. Then I broke it again last night just in normal use, the ground wires came loose, so I redid it much more secure. I also reflowed the L (Tip) connection while I was...

    Headphones or Speakers?

    Just what it says on the tin. I'm not trying to spark some monumental debate, just curious how you prefer to listen and why. I won't even get into vintage vs. modern, but you can. I prefer speakers because of space, air, eardrums, and such.

    headphone upgrade

    So I had a thought. was looking on e-bay and found a bunch of Pioneer se-205 and 305 for cheap. Then I found that I could also buy the drivers from a set of Sony WH-1000XM4 for around $10 per side. so $20ish plus shipping. Is this a dumb idea? Is it even doable? The Pioneer's have 45mm drivers...

    Detached magnet - simply re-glue?

    Newbie question: The magnet has come off on one side of my Samson SR850 (very similar to Superlux HD668B). Can I simply re-attach it with glue, or is there more to it than that? Is there something else I should check? And if glue, any kind? Super glue? (When I try just placing it and...

    One of my children was listening to my 2252 with headphones, and when he pulled out the headphones, he said something popped out with the headphone jack. Now we can't find whatever piece popped out, and headphones won't hold firmly in the headphone port, or play back with sound. I'm assuming it...

    Hello, Is there a most-likely cause for headphones losing significant volume on one side? Suddenly I'm only getting about 30-40% volume on the left side. My diagnostic capabilities are limited to taking a multimeter to the plug, and I'm getting the same resistance reading from both channels...
