    Fidelity Audio Workmanship! see for yourself!

    Rick's responded to my threads with threatning PM's. seriously. When I fist emailed rick about my problem cable, he was super unprofessional blaming all my other equipment, refusing to do anything about it. it was an ebay transaction, so i just filed a paypal claim after realizing I was...

    Fidelity Audio Workmanship! see for yourself!

    I posted some comments in Rick's Sponsored thread, but he got them deleted because he wasn't happy with anything that might seem negative. I don't want this to turn into some over inflamed war where people who pay money to head-fi are seen as evil overlords, because the sponsors of this site...

    Problems with my Balanced Set-up

    I hope my problem is: there was a partial short on one channel, which would cause the amp to see a different impedance than it would if the cable was good, which would explain the volume differential between channels. but typically i'd assume since I also got signal dropping out (volume...

    Problems with my Balanced Set-up

    The only person I named was Alex (aPureSound) because I'm NOT having these problems with him. I'm just typically not used to waiting longer then the longest quoted waiting period, i cancelled the order, he refunded, everything went smooth (aside from expiring my 30day refund period for the amp)...

    Problems with my Balanced Set-up

    nikongod: i switched the tubes around, same results. the volume knob is comfortable in the noon position (which is the middle) both internal gain settings are set to "gain 5", i didn't try the "gain 10" setting.. should i? i assume that's the louder output.

    Problems with my Balanced Set-up

    i've ruled out the headphones,,, i get no problems with stock cable connected with other devices. checked my source. those are ok. that amp is NEW (still under warranty), the tubes are new, i've had it unused for 50 days waiting for a 4pinXLR cable to use it. first delay excuses from...

    Problems with my Balanced Set-up

    I read that in the manual, checked it already. both sides are both "on on" (recommended for hd650)

    Problems with my Balanced Set-up

    I'd rather not name and flame the cable maker before getting feedback. but is this standard workmanship for a 180$ balanced cable? the cardas connectors are burnt by the iron, the sleeve covering just looks rushed and shoddy.

    Problems with my Balanced Set-up

    Hi, last Christmas I got Sennehiser HD650's, that i've been loving, and decided I should take them into the balanced world. I recently got a LD MK-6, and a balanced cable. I'm using a MOTU 896HD as balanced source. my main problem is that the left and the right are not level. the right...
