It's not doing a good job of reproducing the audio signal. The scope display of input vs output is pretty easy to Understand.

The square wave test spritzer ran tells me everything I need to know. It's not a good choice. Nice try.

OK so noise can cause issues with ethernet. The symptoms are Packet loss. But normally this isn't the case. It would require Something noisy next to the cable. A ceiling run of cable laying On a fluorescent light is a common source. Other than that, data gets from a to b just fine. Rf would...

There are some decent Ebay pads that work good. A lot cheaper. I put a set on the hd650 about 5 years ago. Got rid of them the next year, so I can't tell you how they held up

I have less than $2500 in my speaker rig. I used to go check out dealer used gear all the time. A little patience pays off. $100k? Not unless it included building a room to put it in! Same with headphone rigs. And going to meets is a good start in finding what works. The 800 seems to take a lot...

I did a point to point wired board just for bias.

Pins are different diameters.

There are storage boxes that are airtight with foam inserts. Search for Apache cases. They are available in the US at Harbor Freight stores.

Hd58x is a very good headphone for the $. Even better at the short lived $135. I put it into a setup I used to use with hd650's. The sound is far better balanced. I could never get the hd650's to sound quite right. I have q701's, ps500's, and stax sr202's. The Stax are better, but the Senns are...

hd58x is now $135. If you are new to drop, you can sign up get an extra $20 off. Let the early xmas shopping begin!!!

My 202's has a little twist in the forks holding the earcups and causes them to make noise when moving around. I've been tempted to buy a new headband, or at least new forks.

I think audiophiles have come around on digital audio. The big issues have been solved. The industry has come up with solutions that match cd playback. And stepped it up to match other higher res formats. With some work, any MAC, windows, or linux machine will sound as good as each other. The...

Raspberry pi here. Windows gave me a ton of trouble with sudden cpu spikes that caused music stutters. In XP I could optimize it. Windows 10 not at all. And that was a pc running only my music and fubar to a dac. The Pi is rock solid , cheap and easy. My current dac hat has remote control and a...

When using the classic round stax extension cable with headphones, You CAN plug standard into pro bias. The plug is 5 pin, the socket Is 6 pin. Other than that, you can"t. So it's a universal cable for Pro and standard bias. I've seen someone make that mistake swapping around gear late at...

Some of the combos on the bay are listed by crazy people. They often pair stuff wrong and ask for $$$$. And they also like to state "not tested". Pro will work with standard bias stuff fine, you just lose impact and volume. SRD4's just are for electrets. Be aware older stax extensions will...
