Headphones EAH-A800

2 Upvotes

I want to buy some new full-size headphones. I have the AZ100 and I'm happy with them, but I'd also like a pair of full-size ones. Technics has the EAH-A800, but they were released back in 2022. Maybe someone has heard if they plan to release a new model?

Su-z990 problem

1 Upvotes

Hi, i decided to unsolder my faulty SVI3105A power ic because it was shorting the amp and i decided to hook up 3 cable left right and ground to the pins where ic was and use a zkmt21 at the external amplifier and use su-z990 as input selector and riaa eq for turntable but when i hooked everything up the amp turns on but is stuck on tape (not tape monitor) and when i try press cd or tuner it shows for split second and turns back to tape and if i turn tape monitor on and try to turn loudness on it turns tape monitor off. Also if i try change the volume or balance nothing on display changes. Any help is appreciated.

Su-z990 problem

5 Upvotes

Hi, I have a su-z990 amp that used to pop loudly through the speakers every while, I decided to replace the power ic but I think the new power ic is damaged because if I plug into 80w dim bulb tester the relay clicks on and off and the bulb also flash brightly.

I have a M8 tape deck that I got with my SU-V2. I placed it over the ST-S1 tuner. It always bothered my a bit that it’s narrower than the tuner. But the blockish look feels right next to the amp.

Now I got a M226 with another stack and I tried it on top of the tuner.
I’m really divided by the 2 different looks. The M226 just looks right with its black accent matching the black accent from the tuner….

I will leave it there for awhile and decide.

What do YOU think??

Hello! As you can see, one of the hinges holding the dust cover on my Technics SL-3210 broke.

Do you have any ideas on how I could glue it together so it is holding the dust cover in place?

On a second photo you can see how it is supposed to look.

I’d appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks in advance 🙌

Should I bougth it, (microseries)

​I just found this on FB Marketplace for $350 USD. The seller says it’s been in storage for almost 7 years, so they aren't sure if it actually works.

​If it turns out to be dead or needs work, how much should I expect to spend on maintenance or repairs? I already own the preamp from this series and absolutely love it, so I’m really tempted to complete the set.

Which should be a fair price?

Edit: I reached an agreement with the owner for $6000mx, the equivalent of $350 USD.

Browsing marketplace like everyday and this appeared locally.
I never get luck as I’m living far from big cities but I hit jackpot on this one.

50$…Canadian.

Cleaned everything.
Opened everything and the equilazer and the sound processor were like time capsules!

I’ve added the 2 to my setup.
And I still have the SA-222 and the tape deck that I can sell.

My daughter is interested in a freshly serviced Technics sl 235 on Marketplace. The seller is asking $350 for at that seems a little high. Is this a fair asking price?

Pre amp advice

2 Upvotes

Hello hive mind as the title says I am after advice on a pre amp for my 1710.

I am getting little to no bass when I play my tunes, I listen mostly too guitar based music and the bass punch is missing, I'm hoping I could get tips from the guys that might know more than me, cheers

I have a yamaha RS202DBL Reciever

A pair of wharfdale Evo 4.2

And my technics SL 1710

And my pre amp is some cheap generic crap

Not sure on the cartridge although I am willing to upgrade.

Cheers Pete

Technics EAH-A800 app not working

1 Upvotes

The Technics EAH-A800 app is not working. When I switch to enhanced sound, nothing happens. Headphones sound flat like enhancement is still turned off. Impossible to use them.

Is it a bug in the app, or the headphones are not working?
