I bought these cans earlier this year and like the sound but don't love the looks—they're just too big on my head. These are in like-new condition, having never been anywhere except my office desk, and probably have only had 120-150 hours of use. I replaced the stock cable with the lovely Hart...- binkgle

Repairing a Xin SuperMini 3
One omamp is an AD8397, the other is bypassed. Part of my problem is that I have pretty poor hearing, so I often just can't hear subtle differences all that well.- binkgle

Repairing a Xin SuperMini 3
Thanks, I'll try that. I've been playing around with the jack this evening and I've got it working (the issue is that the ground in the jack wasn't firmly in contact with the cable plug), but I'd love to fix this for good (I'm hoping to sell the amp, I find it makes only minimal difference to...- binkgle

Repairing a Xin SuperMini 3
I have a Xin SuperMini 3 that's got a loose connection somewhere: if the output cable isn't inserted just right, then I pick up static and radio signals. This started happening after I tripped over my headphone cable five years ago, and the amp has laid dormant since then until I recently...- binkgle

Need to repair xin supermini-3
Sorry for the delay in my response. Qusp, you are right that it's a mechanical issue, but there doesn't seem to be a way to bend the pins enough to fully solve the issue, as the plastic ring the jack fits into is also broken, allowing the jack to move a bit. So, does anybody know...- binkgle

Need to repair xin supermini-3
It does seem solidly attached, no wobble, but I'll look again once I can find a magnifier of some sort, just in case. I'm not sure whether the radio signal was always there or not, it's been such a long time since I've even tried fixing this. It's not a usb cable, though, just 1/8" to...- binkgle

Need to repair xin supermini-3
Look at the socket on the left, where the computer-to-amp cable goes. Half of it has broken off, and while all the pins are there, it seems that the jack loses connection with one of those gold connectors (the one on the right, I think). I get a beautiful signal if I push the cable jack up away...- binkgle

Need to repair xin supermini-3
Hey all, It's been a VERY long time since I last visited head-fi. I have a xin supermini 3 amp that I haven't used in ages since it produces a lot of noise and, unless I squeeze the input and output cables towards each other while music is playing, it seems to be picking up a talk radio...- binkgle

New budget Swans M10 computer speakers at The Audio Insider
And I just bought the Promedia 2.1s for $75 shipped on ebay a month ago... well, hopefully someone can get a comparison going with between the m10s and the promedias, and maybe it'll just be worth putting the promedias back on ebay...- binkgle

Got a Mac --Bootcamp?
I've also got the santa rosa MBP, and bootcamp works very well. I have only two issues with it, one minor and one medium: 1) The driver for the bluetooth card never wanted to install, so every time I booted into windows (I got rid of bootcamp a few days ago, I didn't really need it) I would...- binkgle
