Mine shows up as a USB storage device in OS X.

filipelli you are sooo cool!!!!

My fit experiences were very similar to yours, nyumetsu, as soon as I pushed down on the cups everything sounded so much better (especially the bass). I have a large head, and assumed they just weren't designed to fit that large of a head. My modding consisted of using a headband from an old...

Count me in. I'll be bringing: Headphones: Denon D2000 - partially modded Amp: SOHA II DAC: Entech Number Cruncher Source: MacBook Pro

Subscribed...and rated. Youtube handle is drkripper.

Count me in, at least for dates before 3/21.

I might have good news...after replacing Q8R and Q7L and setting the idle currents I have about another full turn on each pot, does that sound right? Thanks again for your patience and help

Update: Well, I finally got some more time to work on it. Things are looking much better. My headphone jack diagnosis from before was incorrect, I was using some really crappy headphones that must have a short somewhere. So when I was moving the headphone jack around it must have fully...

Well...I feel pretty dumb, after checking all the resistors several times, I figured out the problem with left channel. I had the headphone plug too far in, since I don't have the front panel on. So I got to listen to it...sounds pretty good so far, however I'm noticing some distortion on...

I replaced Q1P, and now TB+L and TB+R are both 60V. It also fixed the e12 tripping problem. However the left channel is much lower volume than the right channel. I assume this means I also screwed up a transistor in the amp circuit. And yes, the bias currents have been set.

Alright...question time: I have everything assembled and voltages set correctly. With tubes in and music playing I only get music from the right channel. TB+L is ~60V and TB+R is ~25V. When the tubes are out they are both 60V. Sometimes when I change the volume the relay trips, the music...

My kit is on its way...hope you guys are prepared for all the questions I'll have once it arrives

How do you feel about DIY? Seems like the most the affordable way to me.

sr225 - less bass than I would like, not much soundstage to speak of akg 270p - less detailed then the 225's, before I modded the crap out of them I couldn't even wear them they fit so badly dt770/250 - ugh, sharp highs, recessed mids, much less bass then I was expecting...selling soon if...

Count me in.

Great review, looking forward to the WA6 arriving

Sounds like you have the exact same problem, do you mean singlepower the amp builder? (Singlepower Audio)

Yes, the metal part of the head band.
