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...

This says "Estimated ship date is April 19." Is it still ok for me to make the purchase on the 20th or 21st?

Would this be a good match (for my hard to drive) HFM HE560 Phones? My magni sound good but seems a bit underpowered. Any help please, Thanks.

Is it best to use the high gain setting with 300 ohm headphones? And what is the cutoff between high and low gain settings and headphone impedence? Maybe a stupid question, but I'm new to this. Thanks.

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. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details 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.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
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.

Supra-aural headphones This is a headphone that that sits on the ears. They are small and they are easy to carry about and this makes them portable headphones. For this type of headphone, their noise cancellation is not great because they don’t completely enclose the ear. Earbud headphone This is a headphone that goes inside the ears. They are the smallest of all headphones and they are the most portable. They fit practically anywhere. Their noise cancellation is very great, but they don’t enclose over the ears, therefore, they allow a great deal of ambient noise to enter the ear. Circumaural headphone This headphone has a large cups that fits completely into the ears of the user. Because they completely enclose the ear, they isolate the ears from surrounding sound and because they have a great noise cancellation from surrounding ambient noise. Therefore, a user can listen to his or her music, mix tape or recording tape with minimal external disturbance or noise. The limitation to circumaurals is that they are large and cumbersome. Another thing to know about headphone is whether it’s dynamic or planar magnet headphone, which one you prefer. You will know before the end of this article as you read through. Planar magnetic headphones vs dynamic headphone
Planar magnetic
Planar magnetic headphone is similar when it comes to principles with dynamic headphone. They have two magnets on either of the diaphragms that makes them vibrate. At the same time, they send electrical impulses to conductive materials that interact with the magnetic field within the driver. Planet magnetic headphone also offers different and better sound quality at the expense of energy consumption and size. Dynamic: They have the simplest drivers out of all the drivers’ types. They have a magnet that pulls on a coil attached to the diaphragm which is similar to ones in speaker cones. They are also the most important type of drivers, found in both budget and also high-end earphones. They are the best for casual and critical listeners. Can I connect wireless headphone to TV? The answer is YES.
How to go about that:
You can connect your wireless headphone to TV by Bluetooth
You can use an infrared wireless headphone
You can also use an RF wireless headphone. Conclusion Headphones are hardware device that you can plug into smartphone, computer or other devices to enable you to listen to your audio or video music privately without disturbing the people around you.
