I'm checking what power switch I would use for my next project (maybe M3 + o11). I found stainless steel Bulgin pushbutton switches. They are very nice and some of them event include leds. Reference: 16mm Switches Question #1: OK that's a dummy one for most but I want to be certain...

Excepting Todd, Sanderman and Zanth, does anyone received his PS-1000? I would like to see some more review as I still hesitate to get the HF-2 or lay away my money a little longer and get the PS-1000. I've seen some quick negative reports about them from CanJam 2009 but they were, to my...

What do you guys use and where (online) you find shielded wires used as hookup? For exemple from RCA jacks to volume pot.

Will build the SOHA II and would like get some nice 12au7 for tube rolling. Where to get them in Canada, online and correct price? Been burned by excessive UPS brokerage fees last time I ordered some Toshiba BJTs from B&D. That plus the extra international shipping and that's another good...

What would you consider the best "cost no object" punk/alternative/hard/progressive/classic rock headphones? 1. Grado RS-1 2. Grado GS-1000 3. Grado PS-1 4. Audio Technica ATH-L3000 5. Ultrasone Edition 9 6. Other, please specify

Anybody know the existence of a 115V IEC panel socket that could be installed in a regular round hole? Cutting a clean rectangular shape on a panel using a drill and dremel isn't quite easy to do. Or any workaround beside FPE and metal shop?

Reading the forum I often find comments about closed vs open headphones. Some even say that closed headphones are not for them. Other than isolation, what generally differienciate both family? I only heard and have open headphones in my inventory, sorry if this question is quite basic for some.

Just to say that I just got my RS-1 from robinje. They are nice on pictures but in person, they're really sexy. The shells are bigger that they look like on pictures they are really light and seems pretty comfortable after all. I'll compare them to my DT-880 '03 this weekend and try (I'm not...

I got my DT-880 '03 recently and I'm quite satisfied with them. However, on some material and recordings, I think something with a little different presentation would be welcome. What I'm looking for is a headphone that have a more present midrange and better defined and snappier bass. I'm no...

I settled my mind to upgrade my old Senns HD560 to a used pair Beyerdynamic DT-880 (I'm currently watching FS forum and ebay). Who have compared at least two of the edition list in the subject, and wich one did you consider having less sibilance? Reading past threads it's quite evident that...

This is my first post on this board, but I read it since a few weeks. In fact I read this board since I started the build my AMB beta 22 amplifer. Now that my amplifer is almost finished (only need a case) I began to listen to it with my old Sennheiser HD560 ovation and I think they need a well...
