The really pointy tips aren't that useful for most electronics, pick one that isn't too ridiculously small, a 0.2 or 0.5mm tip. Bevel is the most useful, imo.

32 point conversion yada yada yess. Its not loud though and the unit works

LMAO!!!
I don't really like yuri (in 2d for at least). Just doesn't do it for me.
Also, I now know the weekend I'll be coming down to Portland. Now my mom's telling me I might not even go down...

I'll let you know soon enough.
I'm pretty sure there's a small bit of distortion in the bass of that CS DAC...
Nice.
Gah, what a fckuing schiity day today has been. On a positive note, I got Bowei's MH1Cs for test along with my GR07s and E11 back from him. Gah, this cable is full on douchebaggey.
Anime, please wait for me until after I finish my ******* English essay so I can be transported to a world that's different from ours. Though probably worse in the case of Psycho pass and R;N...
Told you. Crappy cable

Either is fine, especially for an O2.
Still recommend this:

or WBT silver, they flow so much better than cheapo solder.

The FX-888(D) is a station, the FX-8801 is the soldering iron itself. The more you know, right?

I dont hear anything at 1k. It was more of a 100hz-200hz problem i had. But of course only on q701

Hmm, maybe it was another graph. Either way, no biggie.
Heh, how hard is it to recable these guys?

Depends how good you are with not wasting solder and how big the connections are. Small projects, it'll last a while, even with a relatively small amount like 100g(really not very much, maybe 75cm to a meter at most). It'll get expensive if you use it for big connectors or components though. Buy a cheap , small amount to see if it's worth the premium to you(or ask for a test sample in the DIY forums).
