Wakibaki, tomb, We now have a fully fledged SS. Assembled, tested and it still sounded terrible (can string styles)... grabbed my 880's and wow what a difference. Night and day.   Anyhow thanks again, much appreciated!  And big thanks to Pete!  I'm off to listen to some music. 

Gentlemen, Thankyou both for your input.   Sorry tomb but I didn't have a photo taking device at time of post.  BUT I think that I have it sorted.  Ends up that the copper board I was earthing to had a plastic-y layer which melted/adhered to the solder and appeared okay solder.  But wasn't...

Hi just wondering if anybody could please help out with a first time build that has been 3+ years in the making.   One of the tubes does not light.  I have tried the following: - checked wiring - changed mosfet - tested voltage points (19v and 63v), both ok - swapped tube - swapped out...

I ended up ordering PL18's, from what I could gather from interpretation of chinese forums, these are the replacement for the PL12 with slighly more bass. Anyone feel free to correct me tho'. As this is my first step into the world of IEM's I am not sure that I will be able to do a comparison...

Hi all, This is probably a no-brainer question for most of you. I have bunch of Nichicon muse FS 63V 2200uf caps and muse FX 63V 220uf caps. Of these two which would be the best options to use for a build? Also could someone please tell me which is the better quality of the two- I can't...

Hmm.. had a look at their website- sheds virtually no light whatsoever on the sound differences/characteristics of the different models I am interested in (PL10, 12, 18). AAArgh this is driving me loopy, because they are all virtually the same price. Please can someone post up a review of...

Yes thankyou gradesm, thats what I was after. I wouldn't have minded $10US a few months back, but since you guys (USA) torpedoed the world economy our exchange rate has poo'd itself. Although still cheap as far as headphones are concerned. I don't particularily want to waste money on...

I was reading the soundmagic blog/various forums and they are reporting that soundmagic and beyerdynamic have signed a partnership... Can anyone confirm this as my reading is poor. mmmm... DT880 IEM's

Hi, Would be interested in hearing your impressions of these other soundmagic models. Particularily interested in finding out which model is closest to the PL30 in detailed bass setting as I don't want the flimsy knob- would it be the PL18? Finally could someone tell me what the web address...

Cripes, nothing like bringing an old post back to life- just noticed the original post date...

To be honest I don't think either of these are the best choice. Recommend you go with Audio Technica AD700's- they are easy to drive, great value, have a good soundstage and comfortable (important with hours of gaming). AD900's are better in detail and have more bass but if you are going to...
