    Surfans (iRULU) F20 DAP, experiences/alternatives?

    Hi all, for quite a while, I've been looking for a small player where I can easily put a bunch of (lossless) audio files on to play them back via a true line-out, connected to an amplifier of sorts. Sound quality from the line-out has to be top notch. SPDIF digital out might also be handy, but...

    Replacement capacitor recommendation...

    I'm recapping this little Wondergram portable turntable and need some recommendations on a good replacement for the capacitor (from the built-in amplifier) in this pic... I can find 10uf, 16VDC axial capacitors on mouser, but I don't know if that's an acceptable replacement. Thanks in advance!

    UE Megablast VS. .... everything else under $300. (Bluetooth/WiFi Speakers)

    I've recently decided I'd like to get a high quality bluetooth speaker for when I'm away from my system -- after all, 300+lb of amps and speakers 6+ft tall are far from portable. This thing's duties would be two-fold. First, it'd act as a 'secondary system' for when I'm laying in bed messing...

    Favorite portable CD player with translucent lid?

    The other day I spotted a pack of Verbatim Digital Vinyl CD-R discs on the shelf at Walmart. They look so cool, and I just had to get them. I've never been particularly interested in CD audio, but it would be a waste to use these just for data storage, so I'd like to find a decent portable CD...

    Panasonic boombox cassette deck needs help

    Hi, I have a Panasonic RX-C39 portable stereo from 1984 or thereabouts. 10 or 15 years ago the cassette deck developed a problem in that it makes a grinding noise when you play a tape. If you engage playback without a tape inserted, the deck acts fine. But when you play a tape, or when you play...
