Howdy Everyone, Looks like I get to join the snap crackle pop and blow into the mic sound club. This really sucks. My previous monitors lasted over 10 years and these were only used a few times a week for less than 5 years and now they are toast. I've got a 20+ year old Adcom amp sitting here...

Has anyone tried the "I" version of the cans? I wondered how the mic sounded to those that were listening to a user of the phones.   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WV7890/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

If you are talking about the DIP socket that holds the opamp used in the dac output section, those 561j labeled components would be caps. I have included a pic that I cribbed from another forum that shows the older version of the DAC. In this picture those parts are the more traditional...

I wonder why they did that? It drives me nuts. :-(

Does anyone else hear distortion on Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt at around the 3 minute mark? I am listening to the CD and this is the only CD of the "American" recordings where I hear distortion on any of the tracks.

Perhaps a packet capture could be used to figure this out.

Can you bypass the internal filter and just use the I/V? I am just curious. Also, does anyone have a collection of I/V designs or a link to a web page that describes the various ins and outs, op amp vs discrete, etc?

My ultimate goal is either to do one of the two output sections on that site. :-) I am glad you like it. Post some pics! Quote: Originally Posted by green0153 I could contribute to this thread telling that i have done the Lampizator mod and the difference is huge. I have used a...

I have installed the Neutrik BNC in place of the factory supplied RCA plug. I am using a Blue Jeans cable to connect this to a HagUSB and it sounds wonderful! I will be installing my own version of the FrankenMod soon! I will be sure to post plenty of pics as well. Thanks for everyone's help!

NICE! I have been wanting to roll one of these so I can try an amp with no global feedback. Is there anyone that makes some small wooden chassis like pictured above?

Yea I am wondering if I should even tinker with this thing. I reckon I'll swap out the caps, install some wima bypasses, and swap out the opamp on the DAC board with a HDAM. When is the compass coming out?

Thanks for the heads up Coreyk78!

What about those 8audio boards on ebay? 6DJ8 Single End Tube Head Phone Amp Bare PCB for DIY - eBay (item 300280852169 end time Dec-21-08 07:18:24 PST)

Thanks but I already have an order that I am placing with digikey so if I could find good one there that would be great. I might just give in and pay the shipping from partsexpress as I want to pick up some rca connectors too. If I wanted to use "snap in" style capacitors, such as the...

I dont know that it sounds different, I just know that I dont like it. I dont have an actual Beresford to compare it with but if someone wants to lend me a MK6 I will be happy to do so.
