I own HD600's and AKG-K501's and basically don't use either anymore because of the way they sit right on top of my jaw joint (aggravating my TMJ and leaving me with a sore jaw). Over time I just accepted the idea that I wouldn't be wearing headphones anymore, and have been limited to just my...

hey what the hell. i finally get off my lazy ass and get a wall wart for my meta and it doesnt work. you all use radio shack wall warts, but which one? since the concensus seems to be 18-22v, the closest i could do was an 18/24 which i know is dangerous because they are notorious for going...

well i've moved to school that has just started which means my DIYing and even listening have been on hold recently but now that i'm sitting here fiddling in the middle of the night, I can't help but notice my 8620 meta works on 6 volts. 5 volts is definately out of the question, but it works...

We've had a good deal of serious general discussion threads recently, and we all know why. Unfortunately most of them end up troubling me to all end, again for obvious reasons. What I would like is for moderators -- and I see them all the time so it seems that they're certainly active enough...

hello everyone, my name is Allen and i have tinnitus induced paranoia. it all started when i got my ety's and the enormous isolation allowed me to discern the slight sensation of crappy stupid dumb dumb ringing in my ears. i was never really worried about this in the past, being pretty much...

do you other amp builders get little pops when you power on and off the amp with the phones in? its not *that* bad, but i try to have the phones out anyway while i change the power on/off. is there a simple fix for this? bigger bypass caps? somethign else? this lame ass amp i made just has...

hey guess what everyone, etys have bass afterall! even the 4S! hehe. yay I just plugged in my first amp for the first time, and it works! well! I CANT WAIT to build a meta, i can't even imagine what it will sound like... My design is sort of a modified cmoy, build with mostly spare parts...

Okay, so I haven't let on to you all yet, but I decided to take the plunge and invest in some ER4's. I ordered a pair of ER4S, and after some thought I realized that maybe I should have gotten the P's, since i'm in the process of joining the DIY crowd and if i wanted that 4S sound I could always...

Alright here's how it is. I'm an EE student home for the summer where I've got a garage FULL of tools and raw materials. I've got a weathered EE of a father and I live a couple miles from DigiKey. So from what I gather I'm in pretty good shape to make a strong start into DIY, and i'm starting to...

hmmm, some of you guys should consider some mind expansion. here's what i suggest: bill evans trio - sunday night at the village vanguard greatful dead - live dead amon tobin - permutation david grisman quintet - dgq20 miles davis - ESP radiohead - Kid A bela fleck & the flecktones -...

Alright everyone, i'll start with some introductions, considering this is my first post. I'm not exactly an audiophile, since I seem to still have concept of the almighty dollar bill, and I've finally got fed up with enough of this reading and spending and reading... cycle that I'm now going to...
