    Need expert advice on mitigating the harmful effects of digital/compressed sound (mostly voices)

    Amp with variable loudness as peak limiter (?) + mids control for intelligibility. For use with headphones, mainly speech.

    I'm in need of some advice, hope you can help. I'm looking for an integrated amplifier for use in professional remote interpreting. It looks as though no headphone amps have physical tone control knobs these days, so they are out of the question. I need physical tone control knobs, preferably...

    Weird bass issue

    I have an old Toshiba receiver with a strange problem. It was working fine until it wasn't. Now the bass in the right channel is non-existant. I tried different speakers and headphones and it wasn't still there. Any tips on where to start? I don't think it's a dirty pot or switch since it was so...

    BIC EV15s - Recommended EQ??

    Recently picked up a Crown amp to try and wake up my pair of BIC EV 15s. Mission accomplished! However, to get to the level of volume I need to get the woofers thumping I'm running for cover from the piercing horn tweeters. I'm running the Crown from a Yamaha TSR 700 (100 wpc) as pre-out. Any...

    Kenwood KR-5600 Strange Tone Problem - Know what this is?

    I'm rebuilding a Kenny 5600. Original description was "one side out", and all the lamps are out. This improved some with deoxing the controls, but there were two anomalies. The FM had terrible distortion on one side, and while checking a signal thru the AUX, the Treble control, when turned...
