    Problem listening to music on HiFi Walker H2

    The original poster's thread was hijacked: there was no "rescue" or "resolution" of anything, active and fellow well-known members -you know who you are ;):(.

    How much benefit will a headphone amp bring

    Reviewers seem to THINK of planar magnetics -puzzlingly, quite separately or independently or What? Headphones.com guys, for instance, made up and video'd their list of bests of 2025, and ignored planars, although during the year they'd reviewed many such headphones very positively, including...

    How much benefit will a headphone amp bring

    I just ordered my first planars, the Fiio FT1 Pros. I think they're the ones that brought prices down on (relatively!-) lower-priced planars last year. I'll see... -from a guy who returned 2 HD600s and one set of HD650s, and stayed with my hopefully-forever-pleasing 2 HD598s and single 7506s...

    Problem listening to music on HiFi Walker H2

    It was new member @linda_in_custody who noted a Bluetooth connnection, but we have no other context info on her? post. It is actually another good question for the OP, but I didn't want to borrow that.

    Problem listening to music on HiFi Walker H2

    Hi there, I recall you reporting here that you had gotten the cool-looking H2. For reference, and to identify with your context, my first DAP, or "mp3 player", was a Sansa e280 (in 2007), I now use three DAPs (two HiBy and one Fiio unit), also run Windows, and I have the Fiio FH3 earphones...

    Question What's your next HiFi purchase?

    A Fiio M21 digital audio player for Xmas: trialed and returned JadeAudio JM21 and HiBy R4 as well Remarkable, connected to my Rotel A12's PC USB input, in the M21's extraordinary desktop mode Biggest advance in sound for me since 1985 when I went separates and went British with a Cyrus One and...

    Other turntable manufacturers

    Still an amateur, I have had a rather vintage, yes Technics, for >several years -which replaced a less-vintage, I think, Technics. My first was a Webcor that I got for my 12th birthday or so, back when they were called record players. It had a spindle on which I could stack a bunch of albums...

    "Stevie Wonder fans"...

    He first got me with Fingertips and I never let go. After that, probably Superstition, Living for the City, I Was Made to Love Her, and I Just Called To Say I Love You, baby. I'm enjoying all recollections of his harmonica jams🎶🎶

    Question Setup

    I have no experience with any new, or recent, even, Technics; but my old SL has had no competition for ~10 years and counting --and I bought it used from a nice neighbor.

    Cartridge suggestion

    Try tea sips and deep breaths, as needed, or a couple of tylenols ;)

    Question Noise cancelling IEMs which to buy?

    I use Soundcore bluetooth headphones more often, but I've used Soundcore Space A40 in-ears for a couple of years or so: they are quick-charging and have excellent battery life with the compact charging case, and they sound plenty good with and without ANC engaged. Most-important to me in IEMs...

    Question Balanced Headphone Cable

    It would have been a 2.5mm end that connected to the 598s' input and a balanced 2.5mm 90-degree end that connects to the 2.5mm balanced output on my HiBy DAP. I may be able to look up specs, but it was in early 2022. It's not a connector as in your photo; it's a full cable. (I've recently seen...

    Does streaming make us lazy?

    Streaming is my 3rd or 4th favorite way to listen to music, but I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week, so I can't associate these variables or I can't calculate whatever association that may exist. Also, some friends and acquaintances stream music at the gym, so...?? Lazy types I've observed...
