Here's a funny one for ya.  Most people are perfectly happy with their Leben's...including myself.  But I need to downgrade to recoup alittle nest egg.    So, I need an Integrated with Headphone out and Passive Speaker Taps.  Here's what I'm thinking:     1) Peachtree Nova ($750 to...

  Uh oh.  This is definitely a code red.   Neither of my drivers are working.     1) I've recabled 3 or 4 sets of headphones including another set of grados.  I marked which side was positive and which was negative when I took the cable off. I resoldered the way they originally...

Oye....I've got a few pics for your viewing.  Pics taken with a Nikon D90.  Enjoy.  

Edits as of 4/5 are in red. Hey guys, Scored what I believe to be a Vintage A or B (Confirmed to be Vintage B by Mercuttio) RS1 that is in need of a recable and also a few cosmetic mods that I have in mind.  Sadly mine did not come with the original pizza box packaging.  The ebay listing...

Hi. I just compulsively bought a pair of SR80's on the fleabay. I saw the box and it was the older vintage model. It was a buy now and I just lost a pair of vintage SR125's the other day that was a buy now because I was researching them to long. So I eagerly (also perhaps stupidly) jammed my...

So I'm borrowing a pair of SR-200's with the pink drivers from a co-worker and I've really fallen in love with them.  Paired with my Leben, they keep blowing me away on the high end clarity and super clean bass impact.  Just loving them.    Can I please get some opinions on what models may...

Hi, I uploaded a photo to a Wanted post that I made using the Java uploader.  I found a more accurate photo and uploaded that one.  But now I can't figure out how to delete the other photo.   Anyone know how to do this?  Thanks.

Hey peoples. So I re-cabled my 225's with four strands of Cooner silver plated copper in a flat Litz braid and terminated to a Viablue 1/4". The Cooner is 24 guage I believe. All of a sudden I have excessive amounts of sibilance in the voices and cymbals are super sizzly. Also seems like...

Hey guys, trying to recable with a dual entry. I've soldered the right driver and it works fine when I plug it into my amp. However, I've spent about an hour trying to figure out why my left driver isn't working. See pic below. Where blue is supposed to be ground and clear is supposed to...

Hi, so I finally recieved this little gem, but I'm having some difficulty. While I wait for my HD600's to arrive on Monday, I've got a couple backup pairs of lower impedance cans that don't seem to be operating right. Both the Denon AH-D750 and the Senns HD428 are outputting unequal sound...

Quick question... can someone please tell me if the speaker output and headphone output can be switched on and off independently on this unit? I'd like to pull the trigger but I need to know if I have my headphones plugged in that the speakers won't also be playing at the same time. Thanks much.

So if I've got a Creative x-fi soundcard that does all my DAC? Wouldn't I benefit from a headphone/speaker amp the most rather than a combination amp/DAC like the Travagan Green or TC-7520? Wouldn't I be just wasting money since my soundcard does all the DAC? Second question: If I have...

So I just got a Beresford 7520 in the mail today....I know not many people are exactly hot on Beresford, but I need help just the same. I'm trying to connect the 7520 to my computer's sound card which is an Creative X-fi via optical cable. I've got my powered speakers connected with RCA to...

Hello! Been lurking around the forum for a couple weeks and was hoping to get alittle advice. I'm new to the higher end headphone scene and I just bought a pair of Senn's HD555 and have been using them for an hour or two per day for the last 7 days or so. I've also been burning them in overnight...
