I guess the Megatron hasn't been discussed here because it's exclusively a DIY affair at this point. I thought I'd take the opportunity to create some space to talk about it, for both before and after it leaves my hands.I'd rather start a thread here than have some discussion going on somewhere...

Hi all, I'm not usually one to say something, but in the recent months that I've been window shopping on the FS forums, I've noticed that more and more users are posting offers and the like directly in the thread. I don't know what attitude the mods have taken to this, but I think it makes...

Hi all, So I was messing around with the gf's new camera out of boredom, and I got it in my head to take a shot of the new power tubes I had just put into my dared vp-20s. I was always curious as to why people took very blurry pics of them until I was taking 3s exposures... Anyways I felt...

Hi all, I was wondering, how do those of you who own this amazing headphone clean all the dust that seems to love the drivers so, if at all? I've seen some closeups and some of them just look downright gross, my pair is no exception. I'm sort of afraid to touch the drivers with anything, any...

sorry if this has been mentioned already: Ebay akg's site doesn't mention much. I know the original k242 was a french release of the sextett, but I don't want to get my hopes up haha. Anyone have any information?

Hi there, So I'll soon be playing around with a k1000 and I was a little worried about the amount of power that you could put into it. I'm planning to use this very old no-name amp designed for theater use, with (a reported) 500W output. I'm assuming this is into 8 ohms, so am I in any danger...

Hi all, So I just came into possession of some dynamat and fiberfill today to play with my AD2000s, and I forgot I also have a pair of k280s to work on as well. The thing is I can't get the outer cup off (not attached to the driver housing), i.e. part 11 in this picture: I was...

Hi all, This question has been bugging me for a while. I realized how much better the sony navigation system was when it was synced properly with monkeyaudio. the thing is, I'd rather have an all-in-one solution with foobar as the frontend. Are there any players that will take a drag and drop...

Hi all, I've owned an a818 for a while, but for some reason I can't seem to send songs with tags that I've updated through foobar with those tags intact. Or if they are there they're just not showing up. This is pretty annoying as I want to utilize the intelligent shuffle functions (shuffle...

Hi guys, I figured this was the place to pose my question. My Darkvoice 337 is pretty much officially busted in the left channel, and I was wondering if anyone knew the costs of sending something on the order of 30 lbs to zhejiang 315012 to china. I got a quote from 140$ usps to 500$ ups, so...

Hi I was wondering if you guys could comment on the system that I'm trying to make happen: Storm Pandora (NOS DAC) to <insert balanced tube amp here> to Audio-Technica AD2000 Would a combination of tubes, NOS, and emphasized mids reinforce each other? Thanks for your input

grandenigma1 just sent me pics of the job he did on my AD2000s, so I thought I'd share some of his work since I don't see much of it out here these days: The pics were sent to me earlier, but I have to wait for the phones to be shipped on monday and then even more for transit time...

As the title says... I just received a pair of magwires terminated in eichmann bullets today, and after plugging them into my system, I immediately noticed that the highs had lost their harsh edges and I think I even caught some bloom in the mids and lower end I don't know how I'm supposed...

I could've sworn I just saw this auction before

I'm considering getting my audio technicas redone by alex of apuresound and I was pondering the following options and their usefulness...es: 1) length: 3.0m stock seems like a bit of overkill for me. What would people consider to be a practical length for cables? I use this primarily at my...

Someone buy this before I do something awesome and sutpid and then pair it with a gcha so I can get impressions =D

Title says most of it, I think I love my gcha paired with almost all the headphones I've thrown at it, of which currently the AD2000 and 900LTD are the only ones left lol However, as noted in the 6moons review, I can't seem to get the dynamic contrast necessary for listening to...

Hi this question has been bugging me for a while now, but I've never thought about asking this forum for input. I was looking through the technical analyses of amplifiers at AMB's personal(?) site in order to contemplate building a millet hybrid max. Upon scrolling through his very thourough...

my non-headphile friend asked me after I showed her a picture of fitz's collection: "what the hell does one need all those headphones for" And I couldn't answer her with a decent answer haha But I got around to wondering myself... I've been buying up headphones since before those fs...

Hi I just got a pair of these awesome headphones, but as much as I want to like them, I can't wear them for long periods of time without my earlobes aching afterwards. Do you AD2k owners normally just use them in stock configuration or are there any reverseible mods I can use? And do these mods...

I know this might be a stupid question but I was wondering if the DS had anything going for it as far as playing music. Does it exhibit a low noise floor at least? I've played it before but never hooked up a pair of headphones to try it out. I accidentally/impulsively bought one on ebay (I...

Hi I haven't posted on here much so bear with me. Looking at many grados threads, I noticed that there are some individuals who modify their headphones to terminate the cup entry with a female headphone jack, running them as dual mono. I'm wondering why more people haven't extended this idea...

I was looking for something to do with the akg k81 foam inserts I had taken out, and I remembered that I could take out the earpads for the k501s...so I slapped them onto the back of the pads and screwed them back in, and the bass seems to have a modified impact now? I'm sort of a noob so it's...
