    Absolutely need more meshuggah sounding tech-death

    hi guys. First of all, i am starting a new thread because i think this genre is pretty specific, and i don't think that i could get as specialized recommendations in any other existing thread. to cut to the chase, i need more bands that sound like Meshuggah. it isn't as easy as i might...

    Grado "Longhorn" Mod. Anyone try this?

    one word; Woah! for those who are unaware of this mod, it was invented by Van Alstine in 1982 and involves gluing a weighted and dampened brass rod onto the front of your cart. here is a pic from a pro modder to say that i am impressed would be an understatement. the Grado blue that i...

    Dammit. i just broke my e5c's...

    So, after 2 years and a couple of months, one of the earpieces of my e5c came off, the cable just tore. after spending 3 hours carefully disassembling them, and then soldering some new cables to the drivers, the solder pads break clean off the treble driver, severing the tiny voice coils. i...

    Amazing how perspectives change!

    hi all. It has been a good 4-5 weeks since i have been here, to cut a long story short, i ended up in hospital with a smashed up leg, some bruising and a very distinct lack of anything hifi. So surviving for a month with a battery-rationed ipod and some ksc75's i return home to my speaker...

    Modding a mint, caps question.

    hi all. i am turning my mint into a pre-amp, as the sound sig of it is great for my dt770 and my warm valve amp (and because its cheaper to use it than buy another option). i am aware that the caps used on the input and psu are smaller than ideal, and so i look to those to upgrade. my...

    Are all optical outs the same?

    are all optical outs the same? i ask because i want to connect a external dac to a sherwood cd changer that doesn't sound too good. if the bottleneck is in the cd player and putting out a sub par digital signal, ill just get a better cdp. so, are bits just bits, or are there other factors?

    Idea: passive lineout for ipod.

    is there any reason why simply putting a pot in the signal chain from the lineout of an ipod would be a bad idea? for using low impedance headphones like iem's. what would be the best value to use in order to keep channel imbalance low? 10k? 20k? 50k? bearing in mind that the pot would need to...

    Placebo/Snake oil reigns supreme!

    Is it me, or is there more talk on questionable tweaks on these forums these days? This is a shame as a lot of the impressions and reviews i read on this site i hold in high regard (certainly much more than other info available on the net). and the few that claim huge improvements due to...

    preamp too loud, resistors on output have no effect???

    hello all, im a little baffled, resistors should make volume lower right? well apparently not for me. my preamp to my speakers is far too loud, and i thought that putting a 2.2k resistor on the output to quieten the volume and allow more play on the pot... no difference. so i put 3 in series...

    Rockbox on the nano 2g, doesn't look likely

    i am about to give up hope on having rockbox on the nano, seems like the development has really slowed down to the point where very few people are contributing due to the fact that the firmware is heavily encripted and extremely hard to crack. Aparrently, the hardware in the nano would make a...
