Am new to this so would appreciate any help. Thanks

I recently got a Predator amp, and I would like to burn it in for another 500 hours at least.   How do I go on about doing it, exactly? Is it just simply playing music through it?   1) Does the gain setting matter?   2) If I play music on my com and connect the Predator as a DAC...

Seeking help from any DIY-er out here   Im making a LOD for the iPhone 4. Ive found the pin out to be soldering 11, 15 and 16 to the ground, 3 for the right and 4 for the left. However, no sound comes out.   There is also no sound when it was plugged into the iPod Video.   Are my pin...

I was just thinking whether or not such a cable exists. Here's a link to a hypothetical wire I've drawn: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/40/wireh.jpg/   Basically, they are 2 isolated signal wires in one insulator. The yellow portions are the signal wire (ground and L/R signal) while...

Wondering if anyone out there knows where to get the soft and malleable type of wire that can be used to DIY your own earphone cable? I've tried 30AWG cables off of ebay but they are still too microphonic. Does anyone know where to get cables that manufacturers get their hands on from? I've...

Anyone have tried re-terminating your earphones/headphones with a dock (the one used for LODs) and plugged straight into iPod line out to play music? If so, does it work and is it any better than using the 3.5mm jack?

Greetings   I am about to venture into the world of custom earphones. Recently, I purchased 2 pairs of reshelled UE TF10 from a fellow Head-Fier, and I am going to reshell them again so that they fit my ears.   What I would like to know is: do you guys know any company that can take my 2...

Heya all DIY-ers   Anyone using cordless soldering iron? What are its pros and cons? Was thinking of getting one off eBay. Any suggestions?   All comments are welcome!   Cheers

Hi all   I have an Apple in-ear earphone and its right side is not working. Im thinking of fixing it, but I dont know where to start   1) How would I know its a jack issue or its the internal cable that is spoilt? Ive tried wigging the jack around but the right side still stays...

Was wondering if anyone around here knows where to get strain relief (usually used when people make their own LOD and they place the strain relief at the dock area around the wire for protection)   Would appreciate any help or links to direct me    Cheers

Not sure if this is the correct place to post, but this question has been burning in me since I read about the safe hearing level chart that can be found on ear-health care websites. It has been said that the louder the decibels of your music, the shorter the period of time you have to listen...

Hi Have been going into DIY recently, and I had this thought of making DIY UE cables. I'm sure most of you know that UE wires are detachable and can be replaced with cables with similar-sized pin connectors. Does anyone know where I can get good quality yet thin and portable wires? And...

Hi all, Would like some third party opinions on this question as stated in the title. Would like to know if there is a recommended age to get customs? Afraid that as you grow older your ear canals might enlarge and hence wasting getting a pair only after a couple of years as it might not...

Hi I am currently using a pair of SF5Pro from UE. Can anyone recommend an amp for it? I have tried quite a few amps and nothing seems to make a difference to the sound. I have tried Go-Vibes, Meier Corda, Voyager, iBasso but I dont really find that theres any impressive sound difference for...
