This is a thread to show off your favorite music-themed merchandise or artwork. It can be something you bought at a show, online, at Record Store Day, an artistic tribute to an artist you enjoy, an album you had signed, the sky is the limit. I'll kick it off with a portable guitar amp I made...

Curious if any Headfiers will be attending Axpona 2022. It's April 22-24 in Schaumburg, IL. I'm undecided at the moment but given current world climate I thought now might be a good time to check some things off the bucket list ;) https://www.axpona.com

Great news for the headphone DIY community; Pete Millett has released his Sengaku design as a DIY friendly offering on his site: http://www.pmillett.com/sangakuDIY.html The original was a TTVJ offering in 2016 for $2K. Changes include swapping SMD for through-hole components and ditching the...

It's a small black and white handheld gaming system with a 240x400 resolution screen and a hand crank which is incorporated into the game's control schemes. I've been watching the progress since 2019 with interest. The price is $179 which seems quite high given the specs; that does include the...

Some good news that I stumbled onto today: https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/6/21314768/sennheiser-ppp-paycheck-protection-coronavirus-pandemic-loan "Audio company Sennheiser received between $2 million and $5 million as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), according to newly released...

Flash back to mid-2017 and you may remember the super cool "NuHybrid" Headphone Amp that Pete Millett designed around the Korg NuTube. If you're not already familiar with the NuTube, the current model is called the 6P1, which is a thoroughly-modern, dual, very low power, directly-heated triode...

Pre-orders for the new Amp Camp kit are available until May 14th. I've been waiting patiently for the kits to be restocked for what seems like forever now, and just got the notification last night. The Amp Camp Amp is designed by Nelson Pass and is an incredibly simply build ... less than 30...

Wayne Colburn of PASS Labs was kind enough to release a new DIY headphone amp circuit into the wild, the WHAMMY, standing for Wayne' Headphone Amplifier Must Make Yourself. It's a nice simple build, no need to match parts or make adjustments, so it's perfect for the budding DIY builder. It's...

I'm trying to confirm the pinout of the mini XLR connector on the DT1990. I was hoping someone here might have one and a multimeter. I took a look at the user manual and reached out to Beyerdynamic's customer support but the info doesn't seem to be out there. I'm assuming it matches up with...

If you have some full-sized cans you'd like out on display, these make for a nice value at $54.99. I got a pair of them back in March and was very pleased with the quality. They now seem to have two ash internal accents vs. one, which looks nice in my opinion. Just note it can take forever for...

I'm certain that some of you here must be into higher-end denim (unless you're spending all your money on headphones :) ). Anyone here collect blue gold? Participate in DWC (Denim World Championship)? Document the fades of Japanese selvage? If so, tell us about it, share your photos, let us know...

I wanted to kick off the meet impressions thread. It was a great time for sure, and I enjoyed meeting all the new faces. Thanks Barry for organizing, it's a very nice room for a meet, especially considering it's gratis.    I think the real star of the meet for me was the Audeze closed back...

I was ecstatic to find out that this DAC/Amp accepts an iPhone 5 lightning digital output and went ahead and ordered it blindly. I'm looking forward to having a listen but it may take a little while for the package to travel across the pond. Has anyone had the opportunity to try one yet? Cayin...

As a car lover this is probably one of the most interesting things I've seen in a long time, aside from perhaps the carbon-fiber clad Alfa Romeo 4C's planned release in the U.S., is the Devel Sixteen. The Devel is a sixteen cylinder car that looks like a bit like a Pagini Zonda, a bit like a...

So, a bit of an odd question I know, but I'm building a lamp and would like to mount a potentiometer/rheostat so I can adjust the brightness directly on the lamp. I know there are a million dimmers that can be installed on the wall or in-line with the cord, but I want something I can mount on...

Hi there guys,    One of my teams at school is working on a marketing research project where we are examining consumer polarized spending (e.g. I might eat Ramen for a month so I can swing those Audeze LCD-2 headphones). Haha, we've all been there, but I was hoping you might be able to...

So I'm working on a school marketing project and would highly appreciate some input from European Headfiers. It's a really quick ten question survey about your consumption of coffee, tea and hot chocolate.   I created the survey in Survey Monkey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JDVM9KK  ...

I'm looking into adding a pair of analog panel meters in a Bijou I've been slowly putting together. The meters are analog and will display 0-100 mA. The seller also has a little control board for a stereo pair of meters and a transformer that would be able to power it. Here's his...

  Who's gonna take one for the team?  

I just recently picked up an Onkyo ND-S1 iPod dock for my small system in my workroom (which is amazing btw). I'd like to be able to stream music from my computer to the iPhone over the local network. I tried downloading some software called StreamToMe, but the compliment software, ServetoMe...

I'd like to request the assistance of a woodworker for a wooden amp base. A plate amp will be sitting on top, Bottlehead style. I don't have the tools or space necessary to build it myself, so I've recorded the specs as follows:     The panel with the centered hole is on one of the...

It seems like Percy Audio and Take Five no longer stock it, and Partsconnexion doesn't have it either. Was it pulled from the market?   http://www.oyaide.com/e_audio/audio_products_files/pa-02.htm    

I find that when I post several images in a new thread (on HeadFis server), sometimes I end up with clickable links to photos rather than actual photos. Once I edit the thread, and resubmit the images, everything works correctly, but it requires some extra effort. This has happened multiple...

So I picked up a cute antique radio and was pleasantly surprised to find that it still works fairly well. Unfortunately, the potentiometer has seen better days, and is incredibly scratchy during normal operation. It's a mono pot that also powers up the radio on when initially turned. Rating is...
