Hi guys, It has been a while since my last visit to this forum. I have had my bottlehead crack for about three years now and recently I started noticing a crackling coming out, even with the source off and regardless of the headphones it is connected to, tried it with Beyerdynamic DT880(600ohm)...

Once you get the crack and if you don't want to deal with putting it together let me know and I can do it for you.

So I'm finally done putting together this setup. Took me several weeks to get my RMA DAC and a few  days to finish my bottlehead crack. There are no words to describe the sound...

Hi All, I know this is probably a noob question but here it goes: I own the 600ohm version of the DT880s and for a while been noticing that the right channel is a bit louder than the left channel. For a while I thought that it was an issue with the volume pot on my Bravo V2 amp but I just...

Are those the Superlux HD681EVO in the background?

  I do like WD products too, I use a My Book Live which you can connect to your wireless router (if you have one) and automatically backs up file changes while your computer is connected to your wifi network.

I'll be selling one soon, already modded. I'm currently building a Bottlehead Crack 

Is it common for the sliding mechanism for expanding the headband on the DT880s to be very loose? There are almost no clicks like the Custom One Pros, the cups slide up and down very freely when I take them off or put them on. I have to adjust them every time I put them on my head.

lol... that's almost impossible here in SoCal.   Anyway, it's ohm's law, low impedance requires a larger amount of current, that's why you need to crank up the volume all the way. There is a lot of information here related to driving low impedance cans.

Quote: The COPs have 16ohm drivers, which many considered low a impedance headphone to be harder to drive as it requires more current from the source. It your source was providing enough juice, you shouldn't need a volume level past 50%.   I used to drive my COPs with a FiiO E10 or a...

Quote: I haven't tried the DT660 or Grado SR80i but but have listened to the DT770/880(own)/990 and also owned the COPs. If all you care is bass I think the AudioTechnicas ATH M50s are more fun to listen to. But is you are looking for a really nice neutral headphone, go for the DT880s...

This could be a very risky mod, do you know of anyone that does this type of mod?

Quote:   TrollDragon, Did the acoustics changed at all after doing this mod. I would imagine that the space taken by the connectors would change it.

Thanks, it's working now.
