    Is it NIB... or not?

    This was a recent topic here in D&$ and I just happen to have bought something the owner says is NIB. So I thought it would be interesting to see what the group thinks about it as I share photos. Give it your best detective work. First photos of what we typically see are the two below. The...

    Denon DRM-500 NOS motor

    I'm looking to buy a NOS replacement motor for my Denon DRM-500 cassette deck. The motor in question is shown in the picture below (Mabuchi EG-500AD-2B). I took it to my local turntable tech, and in his words those motors are "gone gosling." This deck has a lot of sentimental value for me...

    Blown away by this DAC

    Ok, I've been really happy with how my Muji Studio DAC II sounds after significant work. Then installed a pair of Sparkos SS3602 into another cheaper DAC, and an 8x TDA1387 module and have nearly equalled the performance of the Muji at a fraction of the cost. Once I've a NOS reclock module for...

    My first ever dual pairs of NOS vacuum tubes; a pair of '83 JAN Philips 12AU7 output tubes, along with a pair of '83 JAN Philips 12AU7WA tubes for the AMC CVT1030s phono stage. A major improvement over the stock Chinese and Sovtek tubes that came with the preamp.
