Thinking of Hardwireing my Sennheiser HD800 myself using by "repurposing" a set of Double Helix Cables; Ground wire to HD driver ?
When I first thought about doing this it seemed pretty straightforward... until I took a look at how the DHC headphone connectors where terminated to the cable. Is there a ground connection to each connector because the cable is being terminated "to a connector"? & not directly to the...- knowhatimean

" & the current sweepstakes winner of my favorite headphones to use with my Fostex HP P1(w/ my iPod Classic as the "digital transport only)...Goes to...
I liked the sound I was getting with some of my "On-Ear" headphones, but I was'nt completely happy with the comfort level & the isolation afforded by them so I've tried a few of my "full sized" headphones to see if something "peaked" my interest . I liked the way my DT 880/600 Beyerdynamics...- knowhatimean

I have a 4th gen 64 g iPod touch on the way... So I can download the flacplayer app to it as Rockbox does'nt appear to be supported ?
I was considering changing my 7th gen iPod Classic HDD to an SSD but I can't seem to find enough confirmation of successful mods to support doing it. As a result I've decided to go another route and move to a Touch instead. I'm just not thrilled about using a DAP with a mechanical drive when...- knowhatimean

The Beyerdynamic t1350 headphones : great sounding but lacking in comfort : Here's my solution
I was really enjoying these terrific cans , but I was about to give up on them due to the discomfort of the clamping pressure on my outer ears.

Is there any place I could buy a stepped attentuator & have it installed on my Schiit Lyr ?
This is not a real big deal, but I'd like to be able to "dial in" the ideal volume for the various recordings I listen to by just setting the attentuator to a spot I've decided upon on a previous listening session. With several hundred CD/SACDs this could be a very nice feature to have. "Lets...- knowhatimean

SQ evaluations of any component are meaningless unless you can give specific information as to where the recording was sourced from !
Did you ever wonder how there could be some so many diverse opinions on just about any available(or non - available) piece of electronic equipment? The simple truth is that most recorded music is mediocrely recorded at best & most general consumers are quicker to fault the equipment they are...- knowhatimean

I have a Hifiman HM 602 & Kingston 32g SDHC card on the way & am new to players that can use cards. Do I format the card on my Laptop first ?
I'm a complete newbie to using SDHC cards. I suppose I'll go out & get a 2 or 4 g card to play w/ on my Laptop. I'm running Windows XP, what utility do I open to format the card (To fat32 right?). After that do I load the music right to the card while it is still in the Laptop or do I insert it...- knowhatimean
