I have had a Modi 2 Uber for a few months and have always used it with USB and coax with fine results.  I got a new Samsung TV with optical out.  I hooked up the Modi (and amp) to the new TV and got a loud electronic fluttering sound - no TV audio signal at all.  I made sure the TV was set to...

I am pretty new to portable audio gear.  This maybe a newbie question, but does the quality of the cable used to transfer digital files from the computer to a DAP make a difference in the sound?  If so, what do you recommend?  Thanks.

Anyone know where I can get a Denon D5000 cable? I have a set of D2000s, and the fabric cover has come completely out of the splitter on the plug side. I see no way to fix it. I am not at a point where I want to plunk down the bucks for a Blackmax cable or the like. But I would like to try...

I have both the Denon D-2000 and Beyer DT-880, and I am looking for some advice on each. First, to me the D2000s tend to sound a little boomy - like there is a touch of reverb added. I was wondering if adding some sound absorbing material in the ear cups might help. I have not taken them apart...

Is there any source of the 32 ohm version of the current DT-770 other than directly from Beyer? Thanks

If you X-can v.3 fans don't know about the Little Pinkie v.3 power supply for the X-can v.3, you should. This PS is built by Mike Grierson in Scotland for the X series MF units. It makes the X-can v.3 sound like a different and much better amp than the stock wall wart. And there is one for sale...

I know there are threads along these lines, but I need answers to some very basic questions. First, what is a good source of Siltech solder? Next, what is the color coding of the wires inside the stock D2000 cable (right, left, grounds)? Last, which soldering contacts in a standard 1/4...

I have a new pair of D2000s and would really like to shorten the cable. The stock plug is not shrink wrapped. Does any one know if it comes apart in some way so I can just cut the cable and resolder the stock plug? Please PM, email, or reply. Thanks.

We often see the question asked about Darth Beyers whether the choice of wood makes a difference. I have two pair of v.3 Darths - rosewood and cocobolo. They are different. First, the cocobolo wood is much more dramatic. The red wood with black stripes in the grain is very impressive. The...

I have a low hours BPS evo iii I bought used. I have mounted it in two headshells I have used before that I know work. The right channel of the Sumiko goes out now and then in odd ways. Several times I have played a disc and come back later that day or the next day, put on a disc and the right...

I got my new Hornet today. Before I start burn in, I need to know if it is OK to use the amp with just the power supply and no battery of any kind installed. I am aware you cannot use a non-rechargeable battery with the power supply. But what about using only the power supply/charger with no...

I am enjoying my v.3 Darth Beyers with 1.5m BlackMax cable. But I need to use an extension at home. I have an Ear Candy 15' extension, but I think it takes away some of the speed and high level definition that the BlackMax has with the Darths. Do you have any ideas for an extension what will...

I welcome your thoughts on the sonic differences between the 880s and 990s. Thanks, Bruce

My new Darths now have 100+ hours on them. Larry is an artist. These phones look and sound great. The ones I bought are on Larry's deal page - Deal 3 (?) - and I think the photos of the rosewood Darths are still up. I can only join those who already know these cans are fantastic. I would add...

I have been using Senns. for awhile, but I am thinking of switching to Beyers. Please offer your thoughts comparing the HD 600 with the DT-880. I listen to classical and acoustic jazz/pop/folk, but no heavy duty rock. Thanks.

I know this has probably been done here, but I am on the verge of making a decision bewteen the v.3 Darth's and the 271s with an aftermarket cable like Zu or Equinox. I'd apprecite your thoughts. I'll tip my hat: I am leaning towards the Darth's. Larry's work looks beautiful in photos. And I...
