I've been looking for a small Bluetooth speaker and think this sounds amazing and I think this it is. What is the best color for a living room space?

It is using 2 separate Auracast streams, one speaker connects to the first one and the 2nd speaker connect to the 2nd one.

I am currently using 2x ASUS 5.4 Bluetooth USB adapters. I was able to play stereo through a single adapter as well, but it required modifying and compiling bluez and the playback was not perfectly stable, one channel always artifacted slightly.

Also since there is no option to join an Auracast stream from the app, I had to figure out how to force the speakers to join the stream. I was able to find the required bluetooth packets and made a python script that connects to the speaker, scans for the streams, selects the correct stream and sends the play command. To sync two different auracast streams a pipewire plugin is required, or alternatively it is possible sync the speakers using microphone and apply correction to one of the channels, but this adds latency and can at some point go out of sync. Might not be an issue if you use a separate device, like a Raspberry Pi to handle streams.

I'm going to share everything soon, I just need to change few things to make them more universal. I don't use Windows or Mac, so I'm not able to make it work on these systems, but you can still use my scripts to build your own "Heddon" with stereo-pair mode using something like a Raspberry Pi and 2 bluetooth adapters.

For context I bought this JCM 800 a few years ago and have kept in a gator hardshell case since when I don’t gig it (maybe once every 3-4 months). I think it’s time to let it go but with so much variance on 800’s I’m not sure if the one I have is unique. As far as I know it’s a 89’ 2203 with the original Dagnall transformers. I know the filter caps have been replaced at some point but aside from that it seems to be original. I’ve only ever had it rebiased.

Hello, good folk, and thanks for the add.

Can anyone kindly tell what's going on with the crackling sound of my SC20C when I play through it? Someone said it is normal, but I have little reference.

Bought new 2 years ago; never gigged - only played at bedroom levels; <1,000 hours on the valves; never opened up or serviced (... yet!).

The only cause I can think of is I have routed a Boss OC-5 through the amp at -2 octaves on occasion, but never for more than 10-15 mins at bedroom levels. Could that really have cooked the 10" Celestion V-type?

Most grateful for any insights.

Cheers!

Hi all. Looking for some help with this before I take it to a tech. Thanks in advance

know any places that would fix them ?

know any places that would fix them ?

Unfortunately, even after taking care of my headphones, the fake leather has started crumbling and the green foam is popping out.

On top of that looks like the official store in India isn't providing any replacements. Has anyone here tried the SOULWIT cushions to fix this issue? Are they worth it? and would the sound output match with the previous cushion setup?

Thank You!

EDIT: Additionally, are they body safe materials? I use my headphones a lot, so just want to ensure it's made with healthy materials that won't leech off substances

They're both on sale for €69 and I was thinking of getting them, the problem is I can't decide on the color. At first glance I prefer the cream, but the black is so iconic and also gets much less dirty.

Looking to buy an Acton IV but love the brown color of the Acton III. Any idea on if more colors will be released on the new model?

Hi everyone,
My Marshall Mid ANC headphones recently broke at the hinge where the earcup connects to the headband (photo attached). The plastic around the hinge snapped, but the coiled cable still seems intact and the headphones still power on.

Are replacement hinge/headband parts available anywhere?

Hi everyone!

I'm one of the owners of The Vault Family & Event Gaming Center in Portsmouth, Ohio, and we're working to build a Tri-State gaming community for players from Marshall University, Southern Ohio, Eastern Kentucky, and Western West Virginia.

Since Huntington is only about an hour from Portsmouth, we'd love to hear from Marshall students who enjoy Fortnite and other competitive games.

I'm curious:

🎮 Do you still play Fortnite regularly?

🏆 Would you attend a well-organized in-person Zero Build tournament within driving distance?

👥 Would you come with friends, your squad, or solo?

📅 Would Friday evenings or Saturdays work better?

Our long-term goal is to build a welcoming community where players can meet in person, compete, make friends, and enjoy esports outside of just playing online.

We're also planning tournaments for games like Rocket League, Marvel Rivals, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, VALORANT, Counter-Strike 2, and more.

I'd really appreciate your feedback. We're trying to build something that serves gamers throughout the Tri-State region, and we'd love to have Marshall students help shape it

Why couldn’t they put WiFi inside, instead of via Heddon? Heddon doesn’t send lossless, why would I spend a combined $800 and not have Spotify Lossless?

Passing on this round.
