Picked up the Dayton 25W plate amp, 4ohm Goldwood 8"(for a self contained audio console project) and replacement phenolic ring tweeters for my Marantz HLM-310's. Always did love my Marantz speakers, but once I picked up and listened to some older Jensen and Oxford AlNiCos, I hear what I've been missing out on my whole life.
Probably some my Dad’s old stuff he donated years ago, lol.
Still has a large format camera he can’t give away…
Fun hobby though.
I bought some sway bar end links that will be adapted to a vehicle when the weather gets a bit nicer.

I am setting up a mini desktop studio for my daughter and nephew. I already have got them an Akai mini play each and FL mobile on iPad and laptop. Was looking for an audio interface for these two kids and came across this. Seems like a fun and simple kid friendly device and should match the Akai in colours on the desk

A 1m, 3.5mm to 2.5mm stereo headsphone cable. Stupid 2.5mm; I wonder who thought that one up to torture all mankind; "We'll get 'em good with this!"
Kinda like that 5/8" threaded HI-Z Microphone Connector Triplett used for the probe input on a VTVM - Mmmmm that mechanical shield compression set screw connection is going to do the low range Ohms a lot of good.

1/8 inch is 3.5mm in my mind since it's about half the size of a ¼ inch (6.35mm) plug...
But a 3.5mm (0.138") plug on your new headphone, probably won't fit the 1/8" (0.125") socket on your old US stereo.
A difference of 13/100 of an inch usually doesn't matter - the connections are spring loaded anyway. Worst case, you bore the hole on the old jack out but most stuff I see is quite tolerant.
Inch measurments are so imprecise for the average person that 0.138" would just round up to 0.150" anyway

Close, 1.5mm is pretty close to 1/16”…
3mm is .118”, versus 1/8”, which is .125”, and probably the closest equivalent for a phono plug.
My shopping therapy isn't over yet. Roland MX-1 coming in mail 😁. Now only one left in stock in Australian shops 👀
The MX-1 will sit on a home studio desk at the end of bed under a TV screen. Studio PC is also used for music and videos. Hunting for a media controller for the bedside to complement the Roland. I can only find USB ones. Something wireless would be great to leave on the bedside furniture. These seem like a good USB option. Trying to find out if those caps with the transport symbols can be retro fitted to the three knob unit. That should give easy low light access to media controls without reaching for the mouse. Any other options? How about a Presonus Faderport?
