    Q Jays exposed wire help

    i thought i would update this since no one had any helpful suggestions in case someone else searches the forum in future for a similar problem:   electrical tape didn't come close to pretending it would help, so that was a bust. at a friend's recommendation i tried "heat shrink tubing"...

    Q Jays exposed wire help

    these are pretty old, i got them when q jays were very new which makes them well out of warranty. btg audio's website says they do not service jays, unfortunately.   the headphones still work fine, i stopped using them (Except to test) immediately after noticing the covering had broken, i'm...

    Q Jays exposed wire help

      The covering around the wire separated from the connection between the wire and the headphones on one side of my Q Jays. Picture is attached to demonstrate what I mean. These are pretty old (Several years) so its not surprising. I tried to put electrical tape but the tape does not adhere to...

    Volume on an Audio GD Sparrow?

    I have an Audio GD Sparrow, ATH A900 and AKG K271mk2. Volume on the Sparrow is ridiculously high on both (little higher on the A900), volume knob goes between minimum and 8 o clock. Not only is this kind of annoying, I'm worried about channel imbalance at the low levels. I've tried it via USB...

    Headphone amps pick up the radio

    I have two headphone amps, a Total Bithead & a Cmoy I bought on Ebay, and two headphones, an ATH-M50 and ATH A700. All combinations sporadically pick up radio broadcast all around my office & house. The cmoy is in a plastic enclosure, not a mint tin. The Cmoy was boxed and it was just the...

    Rechargeable Batteries for Total BitHead

    I have a TotalBitHead and was wondering if anyone has had success with a certain brand of rechargeable AAA battery in these. I noticed there's a lot of discussion & recommendation for use in a CMOY amp but those use 9V, not AAA. I use mine solely off the computer for many hours a day so buying 8...
