Love the LS50s and the clean cable management, looks great!

Thanks for that acain, I have been considering the MH40. They seem to be great sounding headphones that are also great looking and sturdy which is what I am looking for in a pair of headphones right now.

Wow those stands are beautiful! And sorry to go off topic but what do you think of the Master & Dynamic overall? And how would you compare the two?

Wow that is an awesome setup, mind sharing what brand the wooden sunglasses and speakers are?

I have used the HD 650s with the Fulla and it works well, I have noticed some of the same problems you mentioned but it seems to do a good job powering it when I have been traveling.  I used to own the Audioengine D1 which admittedly worked better but there is a price differential there to think...

Tribbs yeah I get that, mainly just interested in learning more about the options available.

Tribes thanks for that article, will be interested to read up some more on it.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what exactly would balanced cables do to help the EL-8?  I am not trying to start a cable argument but wondering what they would do to help this particular headphone.

Yeah that is a good deal, that is the lowest I have seen it on with Traktor as well.

Did you order the closed back EL-8s?  If so will be interested to hear your thoughts on the two since I currently am auditioning the PM-3s and thinking of testing them against the EL-8s but would be interested to hear some other thoughts first on the two.

Yeah I was looking through their site and they have some really nice builds.  Can't decide if I like the cnc or acrylic, since it would be kind of cool to see the innards if I ever bought an amp from there.

Glad people are liking the sound signature, will be interested to hear what people think about the closed back since I still would like to compare them to the Oppo PM-3's since I need at least one closed back pair for late at night or when the girlfriend is around.

I guess upgraditis or new gearitis strikes again, I keep hearing how good the Crack sounds but I cannot decide if I want to try building one now or wait till summer when I have some more time.  For any of the DIY'ers how hard is it to assemble versus other DIY kits like Project Ember, etc.

DavidA, here is the link that I found after seeing what he told us to search:   http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Handmade-Dyson-Audio-SPOCC-Teflon-Litz-Sennheiser-Headphone-Cable-2-0M-/351326123457?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51ccab35c1

Ah guess mine was different, but looks to be another option for a reasonably priced replacement cable.

I found this which may not be the right cable since not the same price, but let me know if this helps. I had originally not found it when I googled it so I changed the formatting when searching it a little.  ...

Very tempting, and probably will end up happening much to the dismay of my credit card haha.

Pfillion, oh those look nice.  Making me want to order my closed back ones now.  Might be a good chance to test them against the Oppo PM-3's

Agreed, interesting to see the cable.   Good luck with the HD 650's though, the more I listen to mine the more I love them.

Ah makes sense, I am still living in a rather small apartment, so a 20 foot cable would probably cover the whole place haha.

Wow a 20 foot cable?  That is crazy long, do you just have your setup further away or like the ability to move without disconnecting?

Can't wait to hear people's impressions of the closed back headphones.  Got the Oppo PM-3's to try in the interim and so far they are pretty great sounding plus the fact that they are lighter is nice in case I plan to travel with them and the Schiit Fulla.

Thanks and yeah I used to solder when I was younger for RC cars and paintball guns but been a long time since those days so would just need to get back into it. I just thought it would be a fun project plus allow me to get enjoyment from the finished project, which is always nice for a hobby...

Also don't know much about their other offerings, but did you look into any of the other amps they sell before purchasing the Ember?

Zorrofox I have heard good things about that as well. Two questions for you regarding the Ember.  Did you buy the kit or pre-built?  And did you go with the acrylic chassis or CNC'ed?
