iRiver iHP-120 not world friendly..
FWIW, I took a JB3 all over Europe, India and Nepal using whatever plug adapter would fit. Worked like a charm. The unit itself is still in good shape even after riding pillion on an Enfield 535.- Phloodpants

etys foamies or silacon
This is all very variable depending on the shape of your ear. I use the foamies because my ear canal makes a sharp turn after the opening. The silicones push up against this wall and get blocked. Just gotta try them and find what's best for you.- Phloodpants

Sensaphonics
Well, I got my musician's earplugs from Sensapohonics. They cost me $400 in the end, including all three filter varieties (9, 15, 25db) and a hearing test (up to 18K!) Worth every cent! I use them all the time. Sensaphonics is a class operation. The Doc there really knows his stuff and he...- Phloodpants

BINAURAL 4th of July Fireworks!
Hey people! I've got more binaural action for you! For those of you not familiar with the process, I'll explain briefly. This recording was made with tiny omnidirectional capsules places directly in my ears. This way, everything is recorded as the ear hears it. When played back in...- Phloodpants

More BINAURAL fun! Chicago's Magnificent Mile!
Just did this one today around lunchtime. http://www.hoppehome.com/binaural/06...icent Mile.mp3 Warning: 22MB! Again, you must use headphones for this!

I'm using a pair of Panasonic WM-61 omnidirectional condenser capsules. They are about the size of a small aspirin. I take a yellow foam squishy earplug, cut it in half and burn a hole for the capsule to fit inside with a soldering iron. A little super glue holds it in place. I stick the whole...- Phloodpants

2-channel--- yes, you could definitely record the music playing in a room through good speakers. It would sound almost exactly like being there. Quite a lot of work to get a good crossfeed effect, but what the hell? I'm sure it would be better than a circuit. But you do have the...- Phloodpants

I was up in Wisconsin today visiting my parents. They have a nice woods behind the house. I made this recording with my trusty Marantz PMD-650 and a pair of tiny omnidirectional mic capsules stuck in my ear canals. Basically, it's me walking through the woods. Lots of walking sounds...- Phloodpants

Driving HD600 vs HD590 thru Yamaha Receiver
To drive the 580 or 600, you need a headphone amp that can swing a lot of voltage. They are high impedance phones and they require high voltage but not much current. If the 600 needs an amp, then the 580 does too. After all, they are using the same drivers. If your Yamaha receiver is old...- Phloodpants

OPA627 + BUF634 prototype

OPA627 + BUF634 prototype
Oh, one more thing... you've got it set for an input impedance of 1M-ohm. This is extremely high and besides being prone to DC offset, will make the amp very succeptible to picking up noise. RF, hum, johnson noise, everything... I would suggest changing that resistor to 100K, and you will still...- Phloodpants
