Fixing drivers with dented diaphragm
I usually put a bit of tape on the end of my finger and lightly dab at the dent and pull. Works well for me.- Blotto80

DX260 Digital Audio Player, a New avenue to your music. Preorders have started. Easily replaceable battery. NEW Firmware Update! 2.02
If the Low-Latency DAC competes with traditional stand-alone DACs, that will be a game changer. Always been my issue with DAPs, laggy and janky when plugged in as a DAC.- Blotto80

Home cooked headphones - Come one come all! Anyone welcome
That's kind of the base I'm working with too but I've make some changes with a custom rear cover and front baffle/pad mount. I am seriously impressed with the SQ. I've owned and listened to the standards of mid-fi to mid/high (HD650, HE560, LCD2.1 and 2.2, HD800S, Focal Clear) and these trade...- Blotto80

Home cooked headphones - Come one come all! Anyone welcome
Here's what I'm working on the last few weeks: A closed pair using Fostex T50RP drivers. Been tricky to tune but getting it to a pretty decent place. And an open pair with the Peerless Tympany 50mm Driver. These sound surprising good after initial build. Finishing up a magnetic pad...- Blotto80

Planar Headphones Copyright ?
No one is going to have a patent on either a generic planar driver or a traditional round headphone design. Avoid styling the grills with the Audeze A shape and you'll be fine. There are plenty of companies selling "Audeze style" planars. Sash, Verum, Monoprice, Modhouse, etc. As long as you...- Blotto80

Some "DIY" Open Backs
Any impression of the drivers you can give? I've got the Peerless 50mm right now going into a project but I'm thinking of grabbing some Aliexpress units over the 11.11 sale.- Blotto80

Unique Melody Bone Conduction Family (MEST&MEXT and their siblings) Announcement and Impression Thread.
Well, lucky for you I had both of those back to back. To me, either is as good as the other one. They both have a magical quality. I'm not going to use general audio terms to describe them. I'm just going to say when Norah Jones sings the line "Funny how my favourite shirt smells more like you...- Blotto80

Unique Melody Bone Conduction Family (MEST&MEXT and their siblings) Announcement and Impression Thread.
I had the MM's on tour a month or so ago. They were great. The big win over the Mk2 was in the vocals, they were magical..... But after going back to the MEST and "cleansing my palette" for a month I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.- Blotto80

Best gaming controller
The Xbox Elite V2 is (IMO) the best feeling/handling controller available but my god is a giant piece of s***. I've replaced both sticks and a shoulder button. I had hoped they learned their lesson after the dumpster fire that was the Elite V1 but apparently not. I really like the weight and...- Blotto80

This Penon Impact is something. Kind of snuck up one me, wasn't on my radar at all and until @Rockwell75 told me how much he liked it I didn't even realize that Penon had a halo tier IEM. It's right there with the Diva and the MM for me.- Blotto80

Best looking games thread
I'd separate out visual fidelity into two categories, art design and technical prowess. For art design, I think Elden Ring is tops at the moment. The level of detail in every object in the entire world is immaculate. For technical prowess, RE4 Remake is pretty impressive, especially with HDR on...- Blotto80

iBasso DX300 Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 Octa-core 6GB RAM ******NEW Firmware 2.00 Android 11******
When mine seemed bricked (Completely black, no button inputs would do anything, USB would connect and disconnect but could not flash or control with ADB), had just about resolved myself that it was toast but I let it sit for a week unplugged and once the battery drained it reset and worked...- Blotto80

DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread
Anyone ever see any PW Audio style connectors for sale anywhere? Love the look of their 4.4mm connectors and splitters, wondering if there's a DIY part in the same style.- Blotto80
