Nice color use also :)

K250's are a bit of a pain to find. Took ages to find mine.   Easiest way I found to get rid of the smell of smoke is to (after having cleaned them offcourse) just lay your headphones in the sun as often as possible. Not to a degree where they would melt, but it gets rid of the smell pretty...

Thanks for the feedback everyone :). @Glunteer http://www.head-fi.org/t/676402/diy-cable-questions-and-comments-thread . But in short it will be fine to use :). I will try to make some pictures from my rca - mini jack adapters. Quote: Now, that is an awesome idea! I'll try it out before...

Some other cables I made a while back. Been meaning to upload these for a while now. The chit chat in here made me put it off.   mini to 6.3mm : bright red / black type 1 paracord. Pallics mini jack, Neutrik. Single sleeved strands from Canara Starquad. Pallics side component glue has been...

Speaker cable made from 2 Tara Labs Prism Omni cabels per side. 2 wires form 1 signal. Sleeved in paracord 550 (stretched during weaving to make it fit snug) in black with a white reflective stripe & some sort of olive green (blue'ish).  Really pleased with the color combo, looks really...

  Quote:   First off all love the blue cable! What kind of plugs are that in the litle 3.5-3.5 cable? Looks to have a nice big diameter to work with.

full size picture available on request :).   Also, count a pair of K250's to my collection now thanks to hgabi00. And a pair of 270 Studio AND playback are on their way also! (weird how you look for these things for months then get 3 in 2 weeks..) Time to pause buying things, though my...

  Quote:   Thanks And it is Viablue, best colored shielding I could find at that time. Some sort of combination between fabric mixed with PET strings for support (techflex). Not the easiest to work with..   @ Heatshrink question   A lighter or a hair dryer. Takes a bit of...

  Finally reterminated my old K702 cable with a new mini xlr plug. Went from Neutrik to Switchcraft - allot easier to work with, and looks much better! Cable is a Canare mini starquad, gold plated neutrik jack & switchcraft mini xlr.

Quote: Well. Fact is I only just discovered it an hour or so before posting it here with the only reason it being to damn rare to find. But frankly, yea I do know where you are getting at.. Would the price have been much lower, I wouldn't have made any free promotion. Why would I for...

There is a K4 for sale on german ebay with 1 day pending, seller ships worldwide. Price is around 160 Euros atm, out of my league if anyone here is interested :).

Thx for the tip Vid.   Quote: Havent touched my D2000 in about a year and a half or so, and that was just to modify its cable :). Actually should start selling quite a bit of stuff.. I listen to my K271 all the time at work, and at home my K340 together with some non AKG cans gets...

Extended my own collection a bit since my first K340 :). K240 sextet MP - K240M - K260 NOS (non pro, but looks like it was made yesterday and just out of the box) - K271 MKII - K280 - K290 NOS - 2X K340 (1 custom cable & 1 NOS) and finally my K702.   Still looking to complete my collection...

Thanks for the replies, I'll try to solder the spare electret somewhere today and see what that gives me. About replacing parts on the PCB's, as far as I can see they consist of 2 resistors and a well.. copper winded core (no idea how to call this by its proper name in English :)). I can...

I recently bought another pair of K340's for a little mod project. The owner sold the pair mentioning one side had a lower volume, so thinking it was most likely a broken cable or solder joint, I took them. Now, first I re-cabled them using some canare mini starquad and did the default PCB...

        After ruining another plug trying to solder ground to it I tried some solder-less designs with great success. Valab solder-less plugs combined with red canare starquad and black clean-cut multifilament techflex.   You can slightly notice it from the third picture...

Yes, looks like thats it. So, when facing the round side to me, the right pin should be near the marking (litle arrow)?   For the resistors, I followed the BOM. I've quickly checked the coloring on R32 and R33 to be sure : R32 / R33 : 2.94K R5 / R6 : 47 R3 : 1K   Just ordered Q7...

Thanks for the help jdkJake.   Okay, how would I align this thing (J511)? There is no indication of poles or direction and Google doesn't directly assist me. No idea what the led's are rated, my multi doesn't have that option. I can tell you they are blue (at least 3 are - 1 doesn't light...

I was missing the R1 1MΩ, R30, R31 200kΩ and the R17 (mosfet) 1.5KΩ. I ordered those along with some items I still needed from mouser so it really didn't bother me. I rather bought them and was sure then solder the only ones remaining because they were the only choices left.   "pulls out...

That looks awesome. Love the little windows :).   Having a slight trouble with my build again. At the last stage of soldering the actual amp boards and preparing for wiring. After missing some resistors (and having about 5 left who's values are nowhere mentioned in the BOM) - I'm missing...

I know the topic description might be a bit vague but here's the situation :   At this point I have an Audio-gd 19DSP connected by RCA to my NAD amplifier powering my speakers and an acss connection is fueling my C2. Is there a solution where I can "split" the RCA output again to 2 pairs...

How do they sound compared to the - for example - telefunken 6GM8's?   I've ordered a matched set of '70 russion military 6N27P for my EHHA rev A to be, and was wondering what would give me a balanced sound with my HE5-LE (that sound quite thin with my current DSP19-C2 combo). My only...

Hi!   And a merry X-mas and new year to all :).

" hides the fake foam copies behind his back " What, I wouldn't dare!   Well, the buyer apologized today and offered to take the items back. But since I would loose more money in shipping them back then actually keeping them as spare parts I'll hang on to them. Hopefully with a decent pair...

Thanks for the pictures Prog Rock Man, at least I have an idea now how these are supposed to look in normal condition. The foam I was mentioning was indeed the small cutout circle underneath the pads. I'll just cut some out of random foam I can find since they appear to be a spacefiller only...
