    I need earphones more durable than Brainwavz M2

    The right ear died on my M2s (1 year after I got them), which I bought for their durability. I liked the aluminum housing and the thick cabling, but it seems that wasn't enough considering how hard I am on them. If anyone has suggestions on something more durable, and possibly more crisp (for...

    Any good earphones/canalphones for under $100 with an extra strong cable/wire/very durable?

    Hi all,   I'm looking for a pair of earphones that won't break on me. I currently use the Panasonic RP HJE 900-K ones and the cheaper Panasonics like the HJE 270s. I do love this style of earphone with the silicon-type earpiece that fits comfortably, and I've tried Sony and JVC equivalents...

The stock cable on the Senns feels like the basic cheap cable, and I'm scared of running it over with...

    CMoy...now what?

    I just built my first and only amp - a CMoy mini tin amp. What's another project of comparable difficulty and cost? Maybe a cheap DAC?

    CMOY

    I'm building a Mini-CMoy pocket amp and I had a question about setting the gain: The guide by tangentsoft.net (under "Tweaks") says that "In an op-amp circuit, the resistors in the feedback loop (R3 and R4 in this case) set the gain: the amount by which the output voltage is multiplied...

    Op Amps in Toronto

    I'm building a CMoy pocket amp and the recommended amp is OPA2132. I can't find this anywhere in Canada. I was wondering if there was a dual channel amp that was equivalent to this that could be found locally in Toronto (so I don't have to order from the States). Do these amps come with sockets...
