Hi everyone. I'm trying to use WASAPI on a laptop using Winamp and a TubeMagic D1 connected via USB but nothing will play at all. When using the preinstalled DirectSound or WaveOut dlls everything works fine. I've tried changing the buffer size and using exclusive mode but neither changes...

So basically, I severed the two metal arches at their bases that hold the headphones together. Please don't ask why, that is in the past now. Anyway, I gorilla glued the arches back on to the remaining stubs and it seems to be working decently, but the clamping force is much too weak and I was...

Hi, trying to use ASIO4ALL with Winamp. I downloaded ASIO4ALL then moved the DLL to Program Files (x86)>Winamp>Plugins but ASIO4ALL is not showing up in the Output plug-ins. I've tried putting the DLL in just the Program Files (x86)>Winamp but still no good. I'm using the 64-bit version of...

Wasn't exactly sure which forum to put this in. Anyway, after receiving my Etymotic MC5 and trying them on I came to the startling realization than my right ear canal is a good deal larger than my left ear canal. The fit was much tighter on my left ear than the right. It was also at this time...

I have a Tube Magic D1 as my amplifier/source. On my home computer, a constant hiss starts to be introduced at around 1 o'clock and gets louder as I turn the knob higher. This is a slight problem, as some of my quieter recordings of classical music require me to bring the knob to about 2...

Looking to upgrade my alarm clock's speaker, the whole unit was $20 and the speaker leaves a lot of room for improvement (playing the radio). Are there any bare speakers in which I could swap out the current one and replace it with the new one? My soldering skills are limited (2 CMoys are my...

Just wondering if anybody has ever tried closing the back of a pair of K701's. I'm not talking about all out closed, more like a semi-open-K240esque type. It's just that my house is always slightly noisy, as in there is always some slight background noise ex. computer fans, someone showering...

I have already replaced the opamps and was wondering if there are any other mods that can be done to the D1. I've heard about replacing the caps, but I haven't really been able to locate a guide on it. Also, if there are any other mods such as replacing the power supply, changing the gain, etc...

I'm looking for some new headphones. Currently, I have the K701 powered by a Tube Magic D1. The K701 simply do not impress me. Sure, they do sound very good, but there are still many flaws.   Cons: Soundstage does not sound realistic. It's very wide, but too wide. For instance, when I'm...

As in the permanent magnet in the driver is replaced by a electromagnet. Would this work? A very powerful electromagnetic could be more powerful than a permanent magnet, thus giving better sound, correct? I know it would probably require a ton of energy to make the electromagnetic more powerful...
