    Matrix M-Stage amp review: simple, cheap, and excellent.

    Getting ready to change the opamps on mine. It could be helpful if someone detailed all the mods that could be made on this amp in one page or thread as have been done in the older days of head-fi. Anyone with the expertise willing to do that? Those new to the m-stage would forever be indebted...

    Matrix M-Stage amp review: simple, cheap, and excellent.

    Hello everybody! Still burning in the M-Stage USB version that i just got. Just a few questions,   1) Would i risk anything by connecting the m-stage to a pair of cheap jbl computer speakers. Speakers impedence is 3 ohm. Not trying to improve the sound or anything, just wanted it as a...

    iBasso D6 "Fer-de-Lance" USB DAC/Amp

    I understand that the pico is double the price of the ibasso but could someone please do a comparison. Either the pico or similarly priced dac/amps. Will be using this to drive the dt150 which is 250 ohms.

    The Audio-gd Compass (Was: Designing an alternative to the Zero DAC/amp)

Also i do get that hum with speakers as well. I know there was something about grounding or something else in...

    AT ESW10jpn and Ultrasone HFI 780 Briefly Compared, modding notes on the HFI 780's

    I got it from avforums, apparently if you call ultrasone up you can get it direct from them. And it supposedly costs £125.

    AT ESW10jpn and Ultrasone HFI 780 Briefly Compared, modding notes on the HFI 780's

    Hey, thanks for the tips and instructions! (Bookmarked!) Look forward to those pictures. And please take your time, no pressure... I might have to buy them new though, since its 125 pounds here i might as well. Will probably try and wait for a good deal to come by on the fs boards. The only...

    AT ESW10jpn and Ultrasone HFI 780 Briefly Compared, modding notes on the HFI 780's

    Hi aameford, i was wondering if you can mod this with the dynamat original sheets as well? Is it the same thing? I'm contemplating on buying these headphones and modding them myself rather than send it to ALO or S2. Lack of money forces me to go this route. Im hoping you've got pictures for the...

    iGrado or Goldring DR150

    Quite different sounds in my opinion. I had both, when i got the dr150 i stopped listening to the igrados due to cable complications. When i put the dr150 up for sale i tried comparing both by recabling my igrados with mogami starquad and the difference between the headphones was quite huge...
