Holy smokes I haven't been on here in a while. Moved states and don't have room for the headphone rigs unfortunately. Anyways, my JH10's have a broken driver and I need to send them for service. I have been using them while running and working out, and maybe I didn't dry them out as well as I...

After recently being asked to design a PCB to replicate the Jolida JD9, which sells for upwards of $500, I couldn't believe the scheme they had going. I figured it would be funny to post schematics or details of commercial products that are quite simple and are wildly overpriced compared to...

Yo, this is certainly not a new member post, but I haven't been up to date with new releases over the past year or two. I'd like to see if we can list ALL of the currently available high impedance cans (>150 ohms). I'll start us off with the no brainers, and I look forward to seeing (hopefully)...

Hey all, I have a connector similar to this one http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Military-Y28M-19TK-Gold-Plated-19-Pin-Circular-Connector-/310579379971  and I can't for the life of me figure out how to detach the contact holder from the casing on the cable side piece. It's impossible to solder with the...

Hey all, I haven't really been up to speed with the new releases in the audiophile world, but I've gotten pretty fed up with the fact that my beloved Cowon Z2 doesn't have playlists. It runs Android Gingerbread, so finding a replacement media player is a bit of a pain. I am strongly considering...

Hey gang, I built an OTL very similar to DIY Audio Projects Forum • Another Completed OTL Headphone Amp. It sounds fine, other than a few small issues 1. There is a slight hum even when the amplifier is off, when it is plugged it. If I unplug it completely the hum goes away, but if it's...

Figured it would be good to get this up before the old thread gets flooded with impressions. Post photos and impressions here :) Thanks to Tom, the vendors, and all the members, it was a fantastic meet. More impressions to come from me...

Hey all, was wondering if the DAC section of the DAC1 HDR is still up to snuff. I'm looking at getting one for my desk in college and was curious, thanks all

Hey guys, I come to you dejected and defeated after trying to fix the hum in my tube amplifier. This amplifier is for a school project, and I designed it myself. I have rewired it to shorten most of the wires, but I still can't solve the hum. Here are some notes that may help anyone willing to...

Hey, quick question: Any of you know a good recording of Dvorak's 9th: From The New World"? I can't get a recording worth listening too. I have loved the piece ever since I played it in band last year. Thanks guys!

Hey guys, so I'm starting a new project, a Get*Set*Go 3W speaker amp. I'm going to be using it for headphones though, and I know that the EI tranny will introduce some noise into my output trannys, so I figured, hell, why can't I just omit the output transformers?   Would it work if i ommited...

Well, I finally got around to finishing my amp, a Ventus EZ. I then wanted to up the gain, since it was running at Unity, which kinda sucked. So I swapped out R5 and R4 for 20k Ohm resitors, to make the gain x4. In the left channel, the gain seams to be working, while the right has much lower...

So, based on my limited knowledge, I would guess that Lows deteriorate more in a room. For Photons, Energy and Frequency are directly proportional, so I would like think the same for sound waves. This could be a false assumption. I ask this question because I just read on Innerfidelity that...

Just for all you people with lots of $$$, someone posted a pair of He90's for $16k on eBay! Here is the link in case you wanna check it out. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=300984142250&globalID=EBAY-US Can't believe someone is selling em...

Well, I have an amp, the Teisted Pear Ventus EZ, with their LowCurrent BiPolar Supply. And a 15Va transformer. Sounds great, and casework is almost done, but I totally am clueless as to how to add a power indicator LeD. Which LED should I buy with a decent housing? What resistors do I need...

Hey, I just kinda figured it would be nice to have an ultra portable solution instead of dragging my K167's around all the time. I would not like to spend any more than $300 on the CIEM's, sin audiologist. I listen to mostly rock and metal, and am not a bass head at all. Ive done a bit of...

So, I have a Soloist, which is 4w into 16 ohms. That means, if I'm right, that Vrms = 11.31 So, for 38 ohms, 128/(38*2), is 1.68 watts. The He-5LE recommends 2 watts per channel. I feel the separation is severely lacking on this combo when complex rock is played. Is this lack of power possibly...

Post your 3D Models or Renders, and what program(s) you used :D   I use Cinema 4D and Photoshop, here are some of mine         From before Win 8 came out   last week  

I cannot find a place to buy an enclosure for my DIY Ventus EZ Amp. It will need to be decent sized, maybe similar to a burson soloist or a Lyr, in terms of size. I would like it to be fused, as I don't have the tools to cut faceplaces, but I can drill holes for the circular audio connectors...

I really enjoyed the meet in Babylon, and would love to just have a few people (or more!) to chat with over the summer. I have ample space in my living room, and we could most likely do it there. I live in stamford, ct, and if you are interested possibly, just post below, if we get maybe 15...

Any of you using the WA6 + HE-5 or HE-5LE? I paired it with the K702 at the meet and it blew my Lyr out of the water entirely! So if it's a good pair for the HiFiMAN's too, I think I'll have to buy a WA6. Other than the Lyr, what amps would you recomend for the HE5LE? The WA6 looks promising if...

Hey, so after having a problem with a Ventus EZ, I decided to build a CMoy.   Turns out, the issue i'm having is quite similar to the ventus issue in a way.   I have checked my solder joints, and am pretty confident they are not the issue.   The amp distorts pretty badly, it seams...

Post your realm, toon name, guild, level, class, race, etc. My main is Deathslice- Sánctuáry - Gnomeregan Night elf Blood DK. Was 3rd best DK tank on server in Cata. I have a toon in apotheosis tho, I feel bad leaving sanctuary so my main will not change guilds quite yet

Hey, so I bought some 24 awg silver plated wire, and well, it's a bit too thin, and it's not very flexible, despite 19 strands. I think I MIT use it because I have it, but, I really need to get some good wire. I really want flexibility, and like, for example,mthe AKG stock cable is awesome for...

Hey guys, I have been wanting to build a DIY amp for a while. I am pretty skilled in soldering, but, I have never read a schematic before. If I had an actual parts list, and a step by step instruction manual, I could do it.   The Beta22 looks very complex, and very costly. I don't really want...
