    When I worked for Garrard

    I did the boiling water suggestion and soaked it for about 30 minutes. Most of the ripple was gone.

    When I worked for Garrard

    When I worked for Garrard

    I found a z2000b at a garage sale and picked it up. It’s in remarkable good condition and only needed some routine liberating. It does have one problem I’m not sure how to fix: The pulley is driven by a rubber idler similar to the one pictured. It’s slightly warped on a small section of the...

    can one submit a pair of headphones for measuring?

    I live in Shoreline, not far from amirm and have a pair of sendyaudio avia. These headphones haven't had proper testing by anyone.

    That room filling sound Is what I miss about my old pair. I concur that it's reflected sound that makes them sound so big even with out much bass impact.

    What headphone(s) do you own ?

    HD800's are a pair I have to try some time when headphone clubs start up again. I moved to seattle 6 years ago but haven't gone to a meet up yet. I had a pair of Hifiman he560's and that for a time was the end of the road for me and I've missed out on a bunch of cans.

    I definitely want to get a pair of sundara or ananda. I have not heard any of the lower ohm hifiman headphones. I might even go up to the arya if I find a used pair at the right price.

    What headphone(s) do you own ?

I gave them to my wife for when we mix her music because I do love their midrange and soundstage which to me makes soft...
