Still looking:)

I'm looking for some Campfire Andromeda or Ara IEMs around the stated price. Not really picky with the IEMs' cosmetic condition, but should be trouble-free electrically/acoustically. Shipping would have to be to Austria, payment PayPal or bank transfer. Thanks for looking!

Today I finally got around to finish the step down transformer build for my newly acquired SRM-007tA. The Stax amp is now running off a 100VAC balanced output step down transformer. It's all a bit messy still, but so far I really like what I'm hearing!

Damn Stax bastards. Well, guess I'll be putting together a 240V/100V isolation transformer with a nice line filter then...

Okay, so this is what the input to the primary side of the transformer of my newly acquired SRM-007tA looks like. Just two wires... Being from Japan, the unit is configured for 100VAC. I guess this is bad news for my plans to convert the amp to 240VAC input?

I have an SRM-007tA on the way, could anyone please provide me (or point me towards) a schematic of the 007tA (or 007t ii)? I've searched but haven't found anything useful thus far.

I'm using a rockbox Sansa Clip+ for the gym and for biking (VE Monk Plus on the bike, and only uphill). Some day it'll succumb to all the dirt and grime, and I'll be screwed. I got a nice deal on a Shanling M1 which I'm using for travelling. It's a really nice portable player, but it's quite a...

This could finally be the alternative to the Sansa Clip+ player I've been looking for. Good luck with the M0's launch!

Regarding potentiometer positions and output power: A typical logarithmic potentiometer will pass around 10% of the input signal at the 12 o'clock position, and wattage figures are often well inflated...

Generally speaking, it doesn't make sense to attenuate a signal only to then amplify it again. So this would point towards the lowest gain setting you can get away with. Then again, you don't want to have an excessive input signal which may drive the last amplifying stage into clipping to...

A quick question to all of you who have taken apart their K1000: How hard is it to re-install the black plastic frame that keeps the wire grills together? What's the main challenge, getting the grills lined up or getting the ends of the frame to snap onto the pins next to the screws?

The S5 is USB 3.0 micro b, but a regular USB 2.0 micro b works too. I currently have a USB 3.0 micro b -> USB 3.0 Standard-A plug cable on the S5 and a USB 3.0 Standard-A receptacle -> USB-C plug going to the M1. When I connect the two, the S5 starts charging from the M1. When I then enter the...

I'm having trouble getting the M1 to work as a USB DAC. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with lineage OS 14.1 which is an Android 7.1.2 ROM. The M1 is on the recently released 4.0 firmware and I have the v3.0.0 build 5350 app. I'd like to use the M1 for music played by the S5. Can anyone give me a...
