Funny timing, I was just recently doing some testing with my Lexicon Lambda, which I originally got for recording guitar/messing with MIDI stuff.   I don't know if the DAC chips are the same, but the main difference I've found between this and my newly acquired HRT Music Streamer and the...

I have an Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe with the Realtek ALC850, and an Audigy 2 ZS soundcard. I have to say, the Audigy sounds superior through my Logitech Z2300 Sub/Baby Advent II satellites. The difference seemed subtle when going from the Realtek to the Audigy, but when going back, the music...

for socket info.   A marble look would be really cool. I'm gonna look into different heatsink ideas too.

Thanks again!   Beftus - I will probably pick up some LEDs and appropriate resistors on my next Mouser order. I think I just may build V2, since I've got left-over wire, tubes and sockets.   Any enclosure ideas (besides cooler wood, which I'll probably look into) ? I can't make them...

Thanks everyone!   As for the tube LEDs, it would look pretty sweet, but I didn't want to mess with drilling the sockets, and the small natural glow is fine with me..   The tubes get pretty warm, but not to levels that concern me. I've got a guitar tube amp too, and it's comparable.  ...

Hey all!   I learned about the Starving Student a few months after getting the headphone bug in general, and knew I wanted to try a build after getting my DT880s. I read through probably 100 pages of the thread before realizing 19J6s are impossible to find these days, but I found some...

Maybe you can get a pair of noise-cancelers and mod them to amplify the outside noise instead

I used to be into paintball, but traded my gear for RC stuff. Had a Slash and a couple rustler VXLs for a while, now I moved on to an Ofna Hyper 7 which I'm converting to brushless. It's basically done, I just have no power source at the moment. Need to decide how much cash to drop on some...

Another Pentax K10D user here! Best accessory I would recommend is the knowledge of how to fully use it! I think too many people get a nice camera and never really figure out how to take advantage of it (not saying this is you, just in general). I'd really recommend Bryan Peterson's book...

Learning Center - Build a Headphone Graph | HeadRoom Audio If you compare the 125s and 225s, the bass response is almost exactly the same. I think Grados get their "rock" reputation from the mids and highs, where vocals and lead guitars do their thing, instead of the bass.
