I'm trying to obtain a copy of a book, called "book", for a friends birthday. The website is here (BOOK) and will probably help me make more sense. Unfortunately the book isn't available off the web anymore, and according to one of the artists the only place that might still have a copy is the...

Don't drink them on a very empty stomach. Woke up this morning/afternoon at 1pm - it's holidays - and decided I felt like some coke while I made my breakfast. One gulp and I was keeled over in pain and my stomach hasn't felt right all day. Learn from my mistake. Eat something before you...

Does anyone have any experience with adjusting the gain on a Darkvoice THA332? I'd like to adjust the gain because it's freakin' ridiculous that I can't use a pair of HD600s with it unless I wind back the output of my DAC through software. If no one knows I might pop it open and start trying to...

I've recently built a Mini3 and the amplifier section of it works great. I'm a little worried about the charging circuit though. I plug an 18V wall adaptor into the amp and the LED lights up fine, the wall adaptor is also the right polarity. My concern is related to the voltage regulation. I...

I've just built my Mini3 and I'm having a serious problem with crosstalk that I can't track down. I'm measuring 3.6k of resistance between the left and right output. I also get 3.6k between pin 1 and 7 of U4 so it has to be after the opamp in the circuit. I've poked around a bit with a meter...

I've come across an interesting problem with my newly purchased Darkvoice. I live between two houses because my parents are split. I've been living at one house for a few weeks and just moved to the other where my Darkvoice has started picking up noise. If the volume pot is all the way down or...

This is something I've noticed for a while now; I always notice heaps more detail in my headphones at night than I do during the day. At first I thought it was to do with the fact it was generally quiet at night and dark, so my hearing would compensate for reduced vision in low light. It made...

I've got a pair of ER4-Ps but over time the braided sections of the cable that run from the Y-Split to the drivers have started to become a bit twisted and kinked. It's only annoying me because they tend to cross each other a bit and so when I move my head the cables scrape each other and make a...

I've had this idea for a while and have no idea why I have taken so long to post it... Headphones and Speakers are all about moving air and we've done this in a whole bunch of different ways. Do you think it could be done in a similar way to the ion lifter things that many people have made...

Just curious to see how many other head-fiers have made the shift to Dvorak. I finally made the shift about a year ago after many failed attempts. For those of you looking at this with no clue of what I'm talking about, have a look here: Dvorak Simplified Keyboard - Wikipedia, the free...

Canon is running a competition called "Creative for a Cause", contestants enter a related photo and the cause they would like the prize money donated to. All the causes are worthy but I'd like to promote one that is near and dear to me. My brother (now about 5 months old) was diagnosed with...

Just curious to know if any other head-fier are currently attending WWDC this year.

As it heats up here I'm noticing that my headphones sound completely different in the heat compared to when the temperature's a little more bearable. It can be above 40°C (that's 104°F for all you strange people ). In the heat I'm noticing that my headphones sound darker and the bass is much...

I'm looking at Glass Jar Audio kits for the b22 and was really interested as it's so much easier than tryna source all the components. Only issue is they seem to be only for US people. That presents an issue for me. Does anyone know of another place that sells kits that will ship worldwide?

I've just realised that I've had these headphones on for around about 18 hours straight now xD (excluding leaving for the toilet or grabbing snacks). So I'm curious now, what's the longest other head-fi'ers have listened for in one go.

I listen to all my music through my computer at the moment, and have the onboard sound card going to my NAD amp. It sounds better than straight from the soundcard to my headphones, but isn't great. I was thinking of buying a USB DAC to put between the computer and amp. Any suggestions on...
