SO been thinking about getting some vibration treatment done to my transport and DAC, but want to do it cheap.   Someone at work suggested using Sorebethane..particularly halves of Sorbothane balls with felt pads on the bottom so the Sorbothane itself wouldn't stick to the surface.   It...

Anyone using this?    Compared to Grover huffman cables or any other cables?   Am thinking about upgrading from the monoprice interconnects for my electrostat rig.     I have a set of Audience Conductor XLRs as well as a set of Mogami 2549 with neutrik XLR interconnects coming...

  While my opinions when it comes to headphone amplifiers is well known, there is no denying the fact that Dr. Cavalli has put out a cracker of an amplifier in his newest and first commercial offering, the Liquid Fire. Especially given that I have heard all of his designs in the last 5 years...

Very interesting report.   Scary even.   No wonder i try to avoid stuff form China as much as possible.        http://www.edn.com/blog/PowerSource/41244-Watch_out_for_well_made_counterfeit_chips.php

I am fortunate to be living in a part of the country that has immense cultural significance especially during this current generation. Its all about Indie when it comes to the music scene here albeit there is an impressive stage for classical, folk, jazz and damn well any genre you can think of...

I was wondering about using some high quality parts that I was planning to buy to use in a build was hoping i could get some feedback and views from the folks here. I am sure it has been hashed out a few times on diyA, but haven't seen too many on HF.     1> PRPs  of Takman for the amp...

  Beefy Said Quote:     Ok, so when i depress the mute switch the voltages across the LEDs stay the same.  The output level always settles down to 4-5mVAC. J2 is shorted.   I am reading 5V for the digital supply and +/-15V for the analog section.   Am I missing something...

    Caveat  I am an unabashed fan of orthodynamic headphones. Have been a dedicated orthohead for over two years now. All thanks to dBel84 for introducing me to some home made SFI driver based headphones at a meet. The Orthodynamic thread soon became a sanctuary and the folks who take...

in an audio system is sadly left by the wayside by most of us I feel. Till about a year ago i was only concerning myself with auditioning different equipment individually. However, i've heard and read about the importance of system working in cohesion since long before, but like most audiophiles...

I have finally decided to let my main orthodynamic headphones go on the road on a loaner program. Figured I might as well get the ball rolling on this. The headphones were crafted by Smeggy and damped by dBel84. Quoting myself from the ortho thread.   Quote: The last few...

After recently comparing my DAC to other higher end DACs, i have noticed that there is still room for improvement with my own. I am trying to look at what can be done to modify the sound (for better or worse only after listening would i know). Looking at the current configuration of the...

Its about that time again. Figured might as well get this thread rolling. We need to decide on a date, time and location. Was thinking either Feb 21st, Feb 28th or March 7th. If there is enough interest we can go ahead getting things organized.

I happen to live in the same town that the Jena Labs cables are made and yet till today i had stayed away from trying them. Today I borrowed a bunch of Interconnects from the local hifi shop including LAT IC-300 Signature VDH Orchid Jena Labs Symphony. I have my Grover Huffman SC...

This racing season is going to be huge..Schumi's driving for the silver arros who got out of F1 way back in 1955. Two great comebacks. Any support out there for the German Maestro?

Myk7000 is in the area and wants to come cehck out his HD800 on my EHHA and stacker 2 amplifiers. Figure if we can get more ears the merrier. We can have the meet at my place either saturday or Sunday this weekend. All the gear in my signature will be present, you are welcome to bring your...

The website is up and running.. This is exciting stuff. Audeze Looks like they need to update the LCD-2 photo .. The website needs more work by the looks of it..but this is very promising indeed

Recently I've been thinking of upgrading the cables throughout my system from upgrading the RCA interconnects to the power cords.. So was thinking of upgrading from my rat shack cables and also the RCA jacks on my DAC. To this, I was suggested to solder the interconnects directly to the DAC...

Post your impressions here.. Kudos to Andrew our sponsor for pulling off an awesome meet. Larry great work with the name tags..love the suitcase rig. My impressions later.

Well it was about time someone came up with a new headphone based on orthodynamic technology. A tech used prevalently in the 70s and 80s and was eventually given up for more traditional dynamic drivers, with the exception of Fostex. To us orthoheads who have been ardent followers of 80s...
