Broke the wire on my Modmic 4 at the strain relief point. Need advice.
I don't know why more people aren't simply kit bashing the koss adapters found on the GMR lines and instead soldering on the correct adapter ends for their can's in question? I overall have not been impressed with the quality of the modmic and everyone seems to have horror stories about the...- 8064r7

Review by '8064r7' on item 'Bravo Audio Ocean'
Longitudinal review. Personally had some early quality issues due to the group buy I purchased this as a part of (fabrication facilities were not ready for the increased demand) resulting in 2 RMAs for separate reasons. Shu Guang 12AU7 tube is a good affordable starter tube if you listen to...- 8064r7

Minneapolis Meet 9/20/14
I just finished moving my family to the lake Minnetonka area. Kind of sad I can't make it since I'm at work in Kentucky. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk- 8064r7

Android phones and USB DACs
Newest version of VANIR 4.4.2 has enough compiled CM11 pieces in it that the USB Audio is hot pluggable and works amazingly. Tested it on both my toro and my hammerhead (still need to check out my grouper).- 8064r7

Audiophile MiniDisc Users?
Very excited that I recently completely resurrected my tough old Sony MZ N707 R netMD player. Paired it with my Bravo Ocean and output is going through some 668B's I leave on my bedside. Tonight I am listening through 2 MDs, one with Led Zeppelin I & II and the other with Led Zeppelin III & IV.- 8064r7

My Ocean arrived today. Already noticing a good difference by unloading the amp duties from my DAC/AMP and letting the Ocean due its tube magic.- 8064r7

Blackberry Z10 + Neutron Music Player = excellent Sound Quality
Company I work for's upgrades they never used. I turned in the model I was carrying at work and upgraded to a 10 since they never use their solo ones, just a big group buy when funds come down the chain to upgrade all of the executives and managers phones.- 8064r7

Fiio E18
Yeah FIIO needs to just shut up already and take my money. Not like I really need an amp for the portables I use, but it does open the door for needing other goodies. Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk- 8064r7

Yeah, early adopters exist so the price point can go as low as it needs to for my cheap but to pick it up. I believe my price point for mine was under $10 US new.- 8064r7

Blackberry Z10 + Neutron Music Player = excellent Sound Quality
Just picked up a z10 to be the new work phone since I needed something with a strong enough cell radio to push through underground. I agree that RIM did a good job on the audio for calls and music. Plugging a pair of Porta pros just into the micro port and everything is very crisp and clear with...- 8064r7

Android phones and USB DACs
We are a fringe market that is why it is so unpredictable across the numerous stock & rooted roms, kernels, and editions of the Android O/S. I had mine working for a while on 4.3, but it has turned out to not be stable so I went to other projects for my nexus 7. For portable music I will...- 8064r7

Taking Koss Portapro to the Limit (cool mods).
I like how the instant I figured out that I could get them collapsed smaller than what I thought was structurally possible, I misplaced the bag in the house somewhere. :(- 8064r7
