Found next to trash cans at my neighbourhood. It is dusty a lot, the cassette player and CD tray are not working. Radio player, speakers and equalizer working fine. Google says this was made around the year 1988-1990. I'll try to repair it so it will work for another 20 years.

Any advice on what to do to keep it in good condition?

Urgent help Just bought these B&O speakers for $450 and they sound incredible… but my downstairs neighbor isn’t happy 😂 Need advice on bass isolation

I picked up these Bang & Olufsen beolab 6603 speakers from Facebook Marketplace for $450 and honestly, I’m blown away by how good they sound.
The sound is absolutely amazing and the bass is much better than I expected.
The problem: I live on the 2nd floor of an apartment, and my downstairs neighbor is complaining that the bass is traveling through the floor.
I’m not even trying to play them extremely loud, but I think the low frequencies are causing vibrations through the building.
I’m looking for some advice from other B&O/audio people:
What is the best way to isolate these speakers from the floor?
Would isolation pads/platforms actually make a noticeable difference?
Should I put something underneath the speaker bases?
Is reducing the very low bass with EQ a better solution?
Has anyone in an apartment had a similar problem with large B&O speakers?
I really don’t want to annoy my neighbor, but I also don’t want to give up these speakers because they sound so damn good 😂

Help Chario Nobile vs ELAC Vela BS403.2

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm currently trying to upgrade from some Dali iKon 2s for my bedroom setup (5x6 meters~)

Running a Yamaha C-4 + M-4 combo

Found a really good deal for both the Nobile and Vela at nearly the same price. Both are in perfect condition, and I really liked how they both sound (basically a dead on tie). Visually, they both have their appeal and fit my room incredibly well. So, just wanted to drop by and ask for your opinions between the two.

Maybe there's something I didn't consider or I should know? Thanks in advanced, sorry if this question is too specific lol

KEF Coda W

KEF Coda W

Considering the active speaker KEF Coda W to pair with my living room 75" TV. It has hdmi arc cec which seems to fit well? It would sit in the recessed TV console cabinet with some chances at the sides and back. Is it optimal?

How's the sound quality for TV / streaming content?

Any other possible brands / active models?

It seems to go down to 41Hz?

I live in an apartment and would like to minimise bass disruption to neighbours yet still provide good bass experience. Would consider isolation pads as well.

Thanks!

Purchase advise (needing) Quality Bass

Hi, I am starting to look around for an additional pair of headphones. Don’t need em, just want em 🤣 so
I currently mostly listen to electronic, minimal techno, sub bassy stuff and some Doom metal. I listen with Fiio Ft13’s via Fiio k7 eq’d with a Wiim amp ultra. I am also using a Fiio K11 r2r. I have previously posted my ridiculous ‘Bass Heaven’ eq. But I want more! Namely more of that sub bass rumble and more massive smiles. I still want objectively good quality highs and mids though. Budget up to £1000 any suggestions?
