Hello you all! I just had a discussion with one of the recently popular Japanese manufacturers about inline mics. Apparently their North America distributor thinks that nobody needs or uses mics/remotes because in their opinion people (in the US) just shout at their phones instead. This sounded...

Hello All, I searched and couldn't find much on the forums but I just realized that on one of the earphones I have (remax rm-600), you could pretty much listen to the music whole if you made a recording while it was also playing. Curiosity got the better of me so I tested all that I currently...

Micca, awesome in listening to feedback and updating their products accordingly, just updated their popular MB42X with new cabinets that allow a better finish. They had sent me a pair earlier this year to review, on which I had provided feedback on the finish and how the cables were routed on...

If there is a standout amongst assembled Tripath/Class-D boards, it has to be the Volt+. Volt and the Rpi focused audio ecosystem it belongs seem to be a hobby project of Allo, an otherwise telecom manufacturer in India. With a little diy (if you don't buy it preassembled), it would be the...

I hope I am not repeating something obvious but: Given a single cable entry headphone like the Sennheiser 598 / 558, Is there any benefit to keeping the signal returns separate from the drivers until the source even when the grounds are common at the point in which they connect to the source's...

These are the UK/Germany versions of the popular phones found on the board under fischer/brainwavz/yoga/jaycar. I wrote parts of this as an amazon review so it will have some introductory stuff that will sound pedantic here  Ask away with any questions. I moved to the UK, hence the UK brand...

Hello all, I couldn't find much about either of these on the forums, where information about the e07k is abundant. I am looking to upgrade from the dac destroyer, and it will be mostly used from my macbook air, and sometimes from an android tablet. Thank you for the help...

Hello, Just received an iem back from reshelling where I asked for a larger resistor in path, and they seem to have added two more resistors inline to the one already in there so there is now a cluster of three resistors, I don't know what prompted this strange decision but wanted to ask your...

Hello All, It's been a while since there has been talk of iem reshelling, has the market for them changed at all or is it still the same players? I remember fisher for value, unique melody for better quality at a slightly higher price, and 1964 if you are feeling spendy. Any newcomers?

Hello All, We are a group that is creating an archive of interviews with witnesses/relatives/victims of human rights abuse, we have a team of non-AV professionals that conduct these, and capture video as well. The interviews are usually 1-2 hours long, and are between the interviewer and the...

I will be refurbishing my custom frees with new cables before I seal them up for good and would like an inline remote. Any suggestions as to a cable that you were really fond of? I looked at super.fi 4 vi( same as 10vi ), altec lansing 306 / 606, if you have any broken phones that feature such a...

I just got it, and my sextetts are still waiting parts while I wait for shanling ph300. In the meantime, I tried them with my computer speakers (swans) and the headphone out through a yuin pk-2. It sound much better than the computers regular output (macbook pro), which is shrill and tinny...

I am rebuilding some sweet sextetts, hopefully will receive all parts by next weekend. I was wondering if anybody knew a source for cotton sleeves for individual 26 awg teflon coated cables, thats less than a mm OD each.   Thanks.

I remember the v-moda hit back in the day, now all of them are on ebay going under 15, what gives? This is not the same plug from back when back I think. Got one with a diagonal plug, for running, will report back.

  Is it worth making it dual entry or can I just get a shielded kapton twisted pair, and use the pair for signal and ground for, well, ground. It seems that it would be lighter and simpler.   on that note, is it good enough to use the shield as common ground or should I get a three...

I have a problem, I hear a constant hiss in addition to the local radio from my speakers when they aren't plugged into anything apart from power. I found that if I stash the power cable under books and other things, the hiss noticeably decreases which, lead me to believe that I have a grounding...

I just got a used copy of M10s and it picks up the radio when the cables are set in a certain way. I got new shielded cables for interconnects and it is the same, Is there any modification I can do to remove this interference?

I was going to build an adapter and realized I didn't know which resistors to use, does anyone have suggestions which and where to get them? I think I want 75 ohms. I just connect one on each signal channel correct?

I was using an old optonica amp(speaker) that I got for cheap over a garage sale, it started losing channels last week running from a pc, wasn't acting up when connected to an ipod. Anyhow, it finally gave out and all it produces is very faint volume, I can still distinguish the song if I crank...

So I picked up this beast of an optonica amp together with a tuner but the jacks are pretty corroded (they are matte, not rusty). There is also a 1/8th on the fornt that I haven't checked. What should I use to clean them? + Do you have any other suggestions in revamping without spending too much...

I just bought a pair of rt5 for 50$ , I need an amp now but I don't know anything about speakers, I dont know if a t-amp can drive them. What would you advise me to buy, I think something warm would be better as the speakers are a little on the bright side and I prefer warmth

I was looking for 2 with a brown dog but couldn't find a proper dealer, and which ones, as in bp ap to get?

hello, I'm starting cabling and some diy amps and wanted to know what awg to get for things. braiding for inter connects and such recabling headphones (should I just get miniquad and strip end)? inner wiring for amps and etc
