Last night, I ended up picking some Mirage OM6 speakers up off craigslist for a great price for a floorstanding 2.0 setup. These will be going in my apartment in about a month once I move in. The living room floor is carpeted. It might be worth considering that the speakers are fairly unique...

There's a pair of these up on my craigslist for 450, I googled around some and I couldn't find much except a stereophile review, it seems these were 3000/pair from 1997-2006 when they were made, and I figured they were atleast looking in to since I've been starting to look into a 2 channel set.

After starting to play some fps's again after building my new dac(dual mono opus), I realized that while it sounds much better than my zero dac, its positional sound in games is pretty poor. I was wondering if anyone had ever run an External DAC, and an internal sound card such as an x-fi or...

I was planning on ordering this switched from glassware: http://glass-ware.stores.yahoo.net/acswitch.html for my upcoming EHHA build, to turn the heaters on before the rest of the amp, and decided to look around more on their site.   http://glass-ware.stores.yahoo.net/netcjstat.html, their...

I know of Par-Metal, but before I order I'd like to know who else sells cases to the US for DIY work. I apologize since this has likely been answered before, but me and the search feature don't get along well.   Thanks!   Edit: Yes, I looked in the links resource, but alot of those links...

I've been reading up on this thread alot: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/digital-line-level/137976-experience-diy-dac.html over at DIYaudio for a DIY dac board from ebay, the popular choice seems to be putting transformers and some resistors in the output of the DAC chip, skipping op amps...

Last summer I built a DIY minimax and really enjoyed the process and learned alot, now back after a year of some Electrical/Computer Engineering education I'm ready to tackle something more complicated.   I really haven't set a definitive budget but just as an early guess I'd say 400-500ish...

How do you do it? I have my headphone setup and in my sig and I'm about to add a pair of active monitors and maybe a sub. I've looked at RCA switches but then I won't be able to control the volume for the speakers. I've been told not to run the speakers from my amps headphone out, since that...

I had planned to recable them myself before I went away to college, but I never got around to it, and now between engineering and ROTC I don't have the time anymore...   I've had it with the stock d2000 cable and how it gets all tangled. I adore the sound of my modded d2ks, markl mods...

So I just finished building my new desktop which is running w7. I came from one that was running vista but I doubt that makes a difference. My headphone rig was the last thing I transferred over. When I started listening I very quickly noticed that every 3ish seconds the sounds skips like a...

Well in a recable attempt with my k601s I kill one of the drivers(my iron is a 25w weller for now). My current d2k cable is very tangled and bent up and I really just want a nice easy to manage cable. I'm not so concerned about sq increased as just a nice cable.   So my question is how...

Found them with the amp for 50 bucks.   What model are they and I'm guessing that 50 bucks is worth it but does anyone wanna confirm that?

As part of my d2k mod series(J$, markl mod, LA cups) I was thinking of making a detachable cable by using the holes already drilled in the d2k housing, which are around 5mm +-1mm(couldn't get the exact measurement with the cable still in the hole). I was thinking of maybe using 2 mono TS 3.5mm...

I was wondering what wattage rating I needed for an inline attenuator(I lost the one that I came with my tf10s), I used to put it inbetween my  minimax and TF10s to reduce hiss, but I lost that. So I was just gunna run out to radioshack and buy a couple parts since I love to DIY.   When I...

Well after about a year with my k601s which I really enjoyed, they've never been the same since I'm pretty sure they have mis-matched drivers after a recabling accident in which I had to order a new driver from AKG. There's slight channel mismatches that are starting to bug the crap out of me...

So in my normal scanning of woot, I saw these on sale Deals.Woot : One Community, Every Deal (SM) for 20 shipped. Now I normally wouldn't consider anything by steelseries but for 20 bucks I'm considering it. Has anyone heard these and can comment on their sound. The headphone junkie in...

Switchbox parts Purpose – switch RCA outputs from my DAC between minimax and future desktop monitors. Might as well build a section thats a ¼in splitter/selector into the front. Other thoughts – small simple preamp for speaker out section? Parts needed wire – how much TBD maybe some...

While I really like the sound of my k601s(aka a more musical, less analytical k701) and especially after an SPC recable which made the guitars feel like they had even more power behind them. Unfortunately their open backed nature tend to bug the crap out of those around, and let noise in. Not a...

There’s a pair of Custom 3s on my local CL For 75 bucks(chances are I might be able to knock 10-15 bucks off that price too)...all accessories included. Part of me doesn't expect the custom 3s to be better than the tf10s...just different. The question is how different. I was one of those...

Well I killed one of my k601 drivers so I'm about to order a new driver. So when I got to thinking this could be a way to test burn in. My idea of the test I would be blindfolded and I would get one of my siblings or friends to keep switching the headphones are while I was listening to songs...

So I think I burnt my right k601 driver recabling them...so I send them an email from the link on the akg site and I get this: Quote: Thanks for your inquiry. This is a JBL PRO product. JBL PRO is a different division from JBL Consumer. Please check out their website at JBL...

I'm looking to re-cable my k601s with cable that looks like this Thats the LOOK I'm going for, but not for the price of 5-10 dollars per foot for cable. I'm not really looking for a better sound, but I'll welcome one if that's the outcome. Basically, I want to recable to give my k601s a...

Right now I'm using this <<UK>> The AVLAND DPC Digital USB to Optical PC Link to convert a usb to an optical to go to my modded zero. I'm starting to think with my upcoming Millet Minimax build this convert is become the weak link in my system. If I use the coax out on my mobo its very...

I'm new to headphone DIY, but not electronics DIY. I'm fairly competent with soldering, mainly from repairing broken power plugs on laptops, car audio, and general electronics repair. I've replace the inverter for the backlight on my LCD tv, replaced blown caps in a couple car amps, and done...

So whats the weak link or area that could be improved most in my setup? Setup right now is: coax out from a diamond xs71 bitperfect To Zero dac with franken mod bought from here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f43/fs...c-only-449075/ More info...
