Restored headphones

There are somethings you buy, use, and bin as they've become too worn or damaged to be of use and there others where they can be given a new lease of life.

Take my BayerDynamic DT770Pro headphones bought in 2020 at the peak of the Covid era, not cheap but very high quality headphones designed for monitoring in a variety of differing impedances that while still working well, the padded head rest had started to get a bit frayed with bits breaking off.


Fortunately not only are replacements available but it has a bend over with press stubbs fit so you literally unclip and remove taking care to keep the cable tidy and fit over and seal the new one with the stubbs.


They heaphones now look as good as new.

450th post with a few faults

Well that election is over with with decisive, clear victory even if it was the most flattest set of campaigns I can recall with only Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davies stunts livening things up.

At least in this country we can get votes counted by the next day coupled with any transition of power from one government to another smoothly.

It's an interesting week as in drips and drabs bits arrive to install a new cassette deck in the spare room system as the original is having a ton of issues with the leaf switches which are all interlinked sending differing voltages to a controller to do things like select play or record and select the noise reduction.

Some things don't come on when pressed and sometimes selecting play puts it into record.

As well, I'm going to look at my Sony TC-D5M portable as the dc input for its seperate power unit seems to have an intermittant power connection.

We're marking what is around the 450th post on this blog this week from those heady days eight years ago when this rambling thoughts blog where if I wanted to journal feelings and emotions that didn't always tie up with the other blogs with their own narrower themes.

This also sometimes acts as an overflow too when there's more than what would neatly fit into the others on our weekly post cycle.
