Do any of you use "audiophile" headphones. If so, what are you using? (Cross post from r/DJs because this community skews more audiophile..)

DJR 400

Hi, in need of some advice. So just brought a E&S DJR 400. But having some issue with it when wired up at home. Im only getting sound from one speaker. But when wired in my studio it’s absolutely fine playing through both speakers. Now I know I’ve wired it correctly and that my speakers work perfectly because if I put back on my original mixer everything is ok. Does anyone know if 400 is mono or stereo. Also do I need to be using balanced cables or not.

UA four valve pops when pressing cue

I just bought a Union Audio 4 valve mixer. When pressing cue on any of the channels, a pop occurs. Has anyone else encountered this? The turntables are grounded, as is the mixer.

I exclude Condesa (too much time to get it) / Isonoe (horrible form factor) / Formula Sound (not so sure about Co. strenght)

Could be: Bozak (not so sure soundwise) / Union Audio (I owned Mastersounds 4V in the past) / ARS / Resor / SOA BEM

Mastersound - linear Power Supply Issues

My Mastersound linear power supply gave up on me after having heating issues and finally, it gave up. The fuse looks good, I don’t see any power light turning on.

Did anyone of you experienced issues with linear power supply?

ISO Master Sounds 4V Mk2 audio mixer

Hey all! I apologize if this kind of post isn’t allowed, but I’m exhausting my search options and need some help.

I run a youtube channel called Humano Studios showcasing a variety of vinyl djs. We’re in the process of expanding our studio setup and have been on the lookout for a mixer, specifically the MasterSounds 4v mk2 with the FX unit. I know it’s a tough find… it putting it out here in case anyone has one they’re looking to offload or any leads on where I could find one.

Thanks in advance for the help. ! If you have a chance, check out our youtube channel - https://youtube.com/@humanostudios?si=sBIfzOsQpavNpDpe.

DJR200 cable and input

Hi all,

I am the happy owner of a DJR200 recently. The table comes with a TRS/XLR adapter because the input on the table is TRS jack.

I was wondering if it would be better to keep this adapter and connect an XLR/XLR to my speaker, or directly buy a TRS/XLR cable?

I'm looking to get the best result and avoid any interference caused by the adapter.

Any suggestions about good but not to expensive cable ? (XLR/XLR or TRS/XLR depends on what best).

I'm going to move towards a pair of Genelec 8020Ds, and play mainly on vinyl.

Thank you,

ARS Model 1100 - Fuse blowing issue

Hello everyone, I’m reaching out regarding an issue I’ve been encountering with my ARS Model 1100. I heard it’s a common issue, but the fuse of my ARS blew. It had already happened a couple of months ago. I then replaced the fuse and disconnected the power supply every time after using the mixer. It worked perfectly fine for a couple months, then the issue occurred again in the past few days. I was out of replacement fuses that were delivered with the mixer so I bought these - same Amperage and voltage, I read in another thread that it should work fine. It did work ok for one listening session, but when I turned the mixer on this morning, it blew again. I’m starting to be out of options here. If anyone has any suggestions on what I should look for, i would be very grateful. Worth noting: there was a power cut in my neighbourhood very recently. The mixer was disconnected when that happened so I’m not sure if it has anything to do with it, but is it possible that when they put the power back on, they did so with a higher tension or something like that? Thanks, appreciate your help !

Is this a good deal?

Just talked to the guy from the music store DJ department and he said; packaging box is damaged but the mixer is mint. Got full 2y warranty and 30 days money refund.

Trm-222 - master fx and/or send return

Hey, so new rotary head here, loving a dedicated vinyl setup. I play ambient, trippy, lo-fi, barber beats, and some house.

Just got a Zen Delay and while lovely on the send return am thinking of using an sp-404 on the master insert. Does anyone have thoughts on this, and more importantly can the 404 cool or DJ effect a 'live stream' of sound or would everything I do have to be on a sample? Can I use an sp-404 like a live effect device? Really having a hard time going for the rmx-1000 on this setup.

Rotary mixer

I've been looking to buy a rotary for a while now and I noticed that the brands that stood out quite a bit were Condensa / Resor / E&S and surely others. I mix disco/funk and house mainly at home.

I learned quite a bit about Resor, I love the aesthetic and that you can personalize it. The VU meters are very nice and apparently Aleks is very responsive and friendly if we ever have a problem. I understand that we have a very neutral sound with this mixer and I'm afraid that it doesn't correspond with the "warm" sound that I'm mixing

Condensa looks really incredible for the sound output but the price and the fact that it is located in Australia makes me doubt

E&S is nothing to say and it remains in the top but there are too many functions that I find not practical..

Here I am waiting for your feedback and advice to help me and thank you in advance! :)

Cartridge recommendations

Looking for some suggestions on cartridges. I recently got notice that my Resor 2525 is almost ready and I’d like to try a new cartridge setup with it. I have a pair of Jico J447s and the Ortofon Concorde Digitals. Neither is quite the sound I like for my music taste. The Digital is noticeably more detailed but harsh to me. The Jicos have that low end wallop, but are really muddy in the upper mids and highs. First off, I cannot afford the Concord Elites, that is just way out of my price range right now, maybe one day.

What would be a better setup, staying under $500… A) the Concord Digitals for DJing, and the Nagaoka MP110h for listening B) sell the Digitals and get a set of the Club mkii’s for all around use

I listen to bass forward music. Hip hop, funk, house, electronic jazz (thievery corp), and a little old school jazz (Coltrane). 70% of my listening is just playing records, no back cueing or anything, just listening through a record.

I asked this question to TTL and they recommended the Nagaoka or the 2M red, as having the best combo of warmth and clarity.

Static interference with Resor mixer

Hi all, I have recently received my Resor 2533. I'm experiencing static interference from cellphones (any cellphone) when placed close to the mixer.

I am in contact with Aleks but I think as Resor has gotten more popular they have less time for answering emails. The suggestion was to turn off bluetooth. I've done that and the issue persists.

Is anyone else familiar with this issue with their Resor (or other high end mixer)?

Very frustrated as this did not happen with my crappy Pioneer DJM300. :(

Radius 2 Buzz in Headphones

Hopefully someone with a better understanding of grounding loops will shed some light on this.

Set up - Mastersounds R2, 2 x Technics 1200s (recently fully refurbed with new grounding / phono cables), into a Cambridge amp then Tangent clarity speakers. All plugged on the same extension plug into one single plug socket.

Various house moves have meant I couldn't connect the speakers due to noise so just had the decks into the R2 and listened on headphones (Sennheiser HD650). There was a clear buzz on both decks. Swapped the head shells. Same. Tried different plug extensions. Same. Connected the R2 into the amp but didn't connect the speakers. Same. Then connected speaker cable into both amp and speakers. Buzz has gone.

Is that normal? Why should I need to connect speakers to get proper grounding from my set up? It doesn't really matter but just curious as it goes against my admittedly basic understanding of grounding and my expectations that the decks and mixer would be grounded fine on their own.

Resor -- Secondary market?

I commissioned a 2525FX a yearish ago. It's fuckin amazing but I want to try the 2525M, with 3-band EQ per channel, which I feel would suit me best. Would have to sell my current mixer if I was to commission another Resor (wish I could keep both, LOL).

So I am putting out feelers out there: Is there a secondary market for this kind of things? How much can I ask for it? What's fair for both parties? Some tube amps, for example sell used at MSRP because a gently used amp would let you skip the waiting time and get your shit immediately.

Any input?

Ecler Warm 4 - FX Units

I’ve been seeing some posts about users adding loopers as fx to their rotaries. Here is my FX units that I use with my Ecler 4.

Send into Ditto X2 (Loop), then into OTO Bim (Delay), then into OTO Bam (Reverb). All units are true bypass so I can use them single or combo.
