Japanese cans from the 60s. I transplanted MDR-V6 drivers into them
Gabriel Reyes
why?
Jason Moore
No, but don't forget all the marketing- and beancounter-driven crap you had to sift through to find the gems.
Ayden Diaz
why not? build quality is better than the sony
Noah Lopez
any opinion on a sony TA-3650?
Luis Taylor
No experience but it's a good era for Sony. Doesn't have the unobtainium V-FETs, so it's a safer bet than a 4650/5650. Will need restoration due to age.
Hudson Cook
Logan Reyes
That looks depressing.
Juan King

Henry James

Adam Bailey

Landon Murphy
never been a huge fan a NAD, ill give .1 though for growing the collection.

40 year old electrolytics gotta go. The big can caps might be ok for a while. Test for capacitance.
Chase Parker
I got this at goodwill recently for $14.
It has input output for the amp too on the side so I can probably use the amp side of it for something. Or pick up some old reel to reel tapes for it. At least one for display
Kayden Thompson
Bought in perfect condition for $20
resold for $250
Regret it every day
Jason Taylor
yep i get that
>tfw was trying to bid on a sony 700es integrated amp
>tfw got my bid to 275 buck chickened out
>sold for 310
>regret it everyday, havent seen one on ebay since.
If you want good shit and get good shit keep it. Only sell it if you NEED the money.
Jack Cooper
I've heard there are nice amps in some of those. Don't expect much power, though.
Blake Ortiz
it at least is solid state amp though.
It is confusing because I read that AKAI was their Japan market brand and in the US they sold under ROBERTS. But it seems not the case. Either way they only sell for like ~200 shipped on ebay. Not a expensive unit but I bought it to look good as art and maybe use the amp for something now and then.
Kayden Wilson
is A&D the Japanese brand and AKAI the international

This is only semi related, but I don't want to shit up the catalog with a new thread.
I broke my headphones and am now using some chink shit at the moment to listen to music on my OnePlus 6. The sound is salvageable, but as with most cheap phone headphones my phone goes batshit crazy and constantly pauses/plays the music, changes tracks and raises the volume. Or starts the fucking Google Assistant.
Would installing some headset control app work if I'd remap every control to nothing?
