I am not seeing the replacement parts you are talking about. Mind sending me the link?   Thanks! I would love to get these guys back to 100% working order.

Small room for the summer but I like it...    

Quote: How do you like the ducky shine? I have been considering getting one myself, but have never tried mechanical switches before.  

Quote: Awesome! How did you bend the metal like that?

Very interesting results!    What was the silver wire used? Or where did you buy it?

Quote: hmm interesting. I could have sworn I saw some posts where someone made his/her own wooden cups (not from Smeggy) for the fostex t50rp.   The biggest hurdle is figuring out the measurements and dimensions of everything. From there, one would probably need a lathe to cut nice...

So I have been thinking about enhancing the acoustics in my room for music listening and I have a couple basic questions about acoustic foam and treatment.   Where are the most important areas to have acoustic foam? I am a DIY kinda person and am wondering if there are any kind of DIY...

Are there any tutorials, design plans, how-to's, or people with helpful advice regarding constructing wooden ear cups for the Fostex T50RP and the assembly of the drivers into the cups? I think this would be a fun and challenging modification to the headphones to try. Thanks for any and all help!

Why do you have your KRKs laying flat on their side? And how do they sound compared to whatever you had before?   Quote:  

Quote:     I have no idea about being able to return it or no. The hanger holder is broken. They are normally joined by plastic, but the plastic snapped at the joint. I can still kinda manage to wear them without too much problem, I just have to keep the head banging down.    Other...

Sounds really interesting actually.    Well my T50rps arrived today but with some disappointment.   The  connector piece from the headband to the headphone is broken. It still sort of works, but I am not sure what to do for a permanent fix...   My VERY initial impressions are that...

How exactly would a group buy work? A group of people pool money together for one thunderpants and then trade it around?

well that was definitely an impulse buy haha. Woke up this morning, read your post, bought a pair of fostex T50RPs, before 8 am.    Thanks all.

Quote: Awesome, would there be any risk with buying a restock pair?

I have been quite interested in getting into the sound of orthodynamic headphones and head-fi. At one point I was seriously considering the Audeze LCD-2, but considering I am a college student and the price tag of $950, that is just not an option for me. The Fostex T50RP looks like a great place...

Quote: Wow, that is awesome. What is the carbon fiber looking piece sticking out?

Dogwan, That is beautiful...   What kind of wood did you use and what stain?

Quote:   How are you liking your Audio-GD NFG-12? And if anything, what were you using before?    

Quote: Sure. The Antec 900 has poor cable management as it is. I drilled multiple holes in the motherboard tray to route the cables behind. I also flipped the hard drive and have the sata cable running through the HDD cage behind the mobo tray.    This is a poor picture, but you can...

Thanks, I love the 685s! wow, how could you tell they were Shures? They are the SE215, first real set of IEMs and I really like them. I am using the sub from the Logitech Z-2300 for my bottom end currently, better than nothing :) I currently do not have a sound card or external DAC, I have been...

Here is my setup....        

Sounds cool, Ares looks nice.

Thanks for all the input and help everyone.    From what I can tell, all solder points, tracks, and components look good visually. The amp does not make any hiss from what I could tell, also the power supply does not get warm at all. I am not entirely sure how to check the power supply...

Quote: I would love to have the Schematics if you have them, thanks! But even with the diagram, how is one to know what exactly needs to be replaced?  

So I recently acquired a Yamaha CA-610 II stereo amplifier off of the curb of the road with a sticker on it saying "Does not work". I picked it up regardless in hopes I could fix it up without too much trouble. Thing is I have never done any repair work on an amplifier before so I am not sure...
