Finding your groove: getting into vinyl with Audio-Technica
I’d like to think that I could’ve been friends with the late Hideo Matsushita, founder of Japanese Hi-Fi powerhouse Audio-Technica. If I could, I’d travel back in time to 1960’s Tokyo, where a young Matsushita curated “vinyl listening sessions” at the Bridgestone Museum of Arts, exposing visitors to the sounds and possibilities of high end audio and the warmth of vinyl records. I imagine sitting with him in a mod coffee shop, listening to the stories of what he witnessed in those sessions, the conversations he had with visitors, and what ultimately motivated him to head back to his small apartment above a ramen restaurant and start an audio company of his own.
In the histories I’ve read regarding AT’s humble beginnings, Matsushita’s motives seem clear. Produce high end audio at affordable prices, bringing audio excellence into spaces and to customers that simply didn’t have access to it before. His first two products, the AT-1 and AT-3 phono cartridges did exactly that, and...

I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.
Why haven't I received a shipping code or response from customer service for my order in over 3 weeks?
Hello,
I apologize for using the community to post a customer service ticket essentially, but I haven't gotten any update from this website for my FIRST ORDER regarding some headphones I ordered. Essentially, my partner ordered me some gaming headphones ( Drop + EPOS PC38X) a few weeks ago. I have an attached screenshot of the confirmation code on this post.
Normally I'd expect a shipping code to be provided, at most, a week later, but I decided to give this website a little bit more patience because to begin with, my girlfriend was skeptical, but after reading some posts on Reddit recommending this site, I convinced her it wasn't a scam. 3 weeks later, lo and behold, we still have not gotten any kind of shipping update.
I am just wondering, on average, how long it takes for an order to get to the buyer here. I have ordered from websites like Shien and etc, so I am not really stressing anything, but considering the fact that I sent customer support an e-mail 10 days ago and have...
Drop everything you're doing and go to your streaming account (I prefer Spotify and Tidal) and pull up (search for) Ulrich Schnauss & Jonas Munk then find track 7 (Chasing Rainbows). Strap in and plug in your amp, and hit play. You can thank me later! No streaming account? Try this YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_mE0TE9a-Y&t=1715s
So I bought the HD6xx a few weeks back and when I finally got the packages i got some Noir 99.
ever happened to any of u guys and how did it get resolved
Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones.

I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
Just joined, I am a fan of FiiO, and Shure SE series Earphones.
I have used Shure earphone for over 10 years and FiiO DAC/Amp's for almost as long. primarily with my iPhones and BT. With Apple finally going to the USB C connection I can connect my FiiO BTR7, and BTR15 up with a direct DAC connection. I plugged the BTR7 into my Mac Studio with my Shure SE-535's. I was astounded by the sound. At this point I realized that a desktop DAC/Amp was a necessity because these FiiO portable DAC/Amp do not really have to power for headphones. FiiO makes powerful desktop DAC/Amps but I am looking at what is out there. I used to run ASUS Xonar Essence DAC/Amps but they are not longer made. I will lurk and learn.

Frankly I don’t believe but I’d be interested for somebody else to try it …to my ears with a high rez file the audio is amazingly clear and lively musical the fidelity is unbelievable but I would like to know some body else s honest opinions .,,
is there anybody can supply that setup and review it??????¿
Headband of my Sundaras broke and I had this Audeze style headband down in the crawlspace.
Think it turned out pretty nifty and they feel lighter now and are much more comfortable.
Swap was not hard at all, but saving the original Sundara hardware connecting their headband to the earcups was a no go... Basically had to shear the screws.
Pretty happy with how the whole thing turned out, was a quick "in the moment" fix/project. Took an hour from headband breaking to completed fix.
recently I’ve noticed that every time I find a product on drop that I want to buy, when reaching to the payment page I get the same message over and over again - shipment for this item is unavailable to your address.
i have being buying and using drop for about 5 years. One of the main reasons I did that, was because they shipped unique, boutique products that allowed me to get deeper and deeper into my interest in sound - eventually to a point where I felt comfortable to start creating music.
but as I’m not living in the US, drop is no longer available for me.
we had a good run. Sorry that I have to find it in the annoying and bitter way of going product after product until I’ve reached a solid conclusion.
I bought a pair of headphones that I found, after trying them out, that aren't what I would want. They listed this language:
"RETURNS—NO QUESTIONS ASKED
We get it. Sometimes what you ordered just doesn’t work out. If that’s the case for you, don’t fret! All customers (both US and international) may return this item in new, unused condition within 30 days of delivery."
I've contacted support several times and got NO answer about how to return these. It's been over a week. How do I get this to happen?

Note to anyone not from EU or USA. Do not buy from this site!
TBH this site has one of the worst shipping experience/ customer support that I have ever went through and it is not worth it. My order has been pending for 2 months with very bad support telling me last time to wait more! when it is clearly stated that "3 to 6 weeks from the date of shipping"
That is a f**** joke. waste of time and money should have bought DT990 from amazon and called it a day.
Now let us wait another 2 months to get the f**** refund :)
Combining Topping E30 W Schiit Midgaurd... And why
Drop gives us a chance to play around with cool audio at appealing prices. Sometimes very unlikely choices just work way better than anyone could hope for.
Some time back I bought a Topping E30 to get better sound out of my laptop at work. Well covid hit so I didn't set it up.
I already had a Mytek Brooklyn for headphone duty at home.
Then I was being cheap and wanted to see of Drop may have a Topping 70 or 90 head amp for a super special price. If it happened... I missed it.
So I went ahead and ordered a Schiit Midgaurd to combine with it.
I use Audrivana (just like on my main system). AKG 701 Headphones.
How does it sound? Honestly it's really a lot of fun. The sound is way better than I could expect. Mixing and matching turned out to just balance the best features of each and I grin every time I listen. Classic, Jazz, Indie or Rock.
Hope you all have some fun and grins too.
