    DIY Cable Gallery!!

    Never thought of that, good point! Okay, phew, I thought maybe I had bought some dodgy cable haha

    DIY Cable Gallery!!

    Oh, forgot to ask if this was normal or not. My cable is EXTREMELY microphonic. If I run my fingernails along the braid, it sounds like when you have a perfect seal between your ear and a hollow door, and someone is banging the door. The microphonics is almost inaudible when music is playing...

    DIY Cable Gallery!!

    Well I bought 4x5 feet, thinking I'd finish with a 5 foot cable (1 right, 1 left, 2 ground) (I used 2 ground wires, both soldered together at the jack. Did this not for supposed better sound quality, but to have a slightly stiffer cable due to 4 wire braid) In the end the cable was 4 feet, 9...

    DIY Cable Gallery!!

    I considered that, but I had a feeling the plastic would melt and stick to the iron. Really didn't want to stuff up the iron. But I guess I could give it a shot next time. (Or cough up and buy the proper tools...) It was sold per 5ft, so I had to buy 4x 5ft, so 20ft. It came as a single...

    DIY Cable Gallery!!

    Thank you! I didn't really do much research into to buy, and I was also restricted by my budget, being in Australia (the dollar is really bad here at the moment) and with shipping.  I ended up buying 20ft of this. Shipping took just under 3 weeks to Australia. The wire is great (I don't have...

    DIY Cable Gallery!!

    This was my first attempt at a DIY cable, and am impressed with how it turned out. Everything went according to plan, until I wrongly assumed a hair drier would be hot for the heat-shrink. So I, uhh, improvised. I tried a match, but the flame was so dirty it discoloured the heat shrink. Then I...

    DIY Cable Gallery!!

    Nice work man, good job! I literally just finished making my first cable too, I'll post some pictures in the morning (I, uhh, had to work into the night) when there's some natural light along with some details. But it was an experience to say the least!

    Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

    Quality is not my gripe, it is convenience. If I have an album in 24bit flac which plays on my desktop, I don't want to have to keep a separate copy of the album that is down-sampled simply to play on my mp3 player.  So down-sampling is not my concern, it was that the sansa CAN play the files...

    Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

    Okay, I'm sure it's not the WORST source in the world, but maybe the worst mainstream-smartphone source? I've used iPhone 3GS, 4S, 5S, and GS3 and GS4, and the one doesn't compare.  In saying that however, I only use it as a source very rarely, and I'm no longer the avid audiophile I once was...

    Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

    I haven't checked into this thread in a while (300 unread pages of posts), but here's my current set-up, simply some Westone UM3X's driven by the worst source in the world, an HTC One. (My clip+ is out of juice )

    [Rhapsodio] K Series - K0 - Portable Amp Tour (Australian Members)

    Hi, sorry for not being as active and alert as I should have been. I've been busy lately with preparing for HSC trials and other exams. I feel that I would be better suited to demoing the amp during holidays, which begin on the 28th. So just drop me down on the list by 1.

    Calling All "Vintage" Speaker Owners

    Not quite vintage, but almost there. This stereo system is actually my mum's, which she purchased in the late 80's. The Speakers are Wharfedale Delta 50's, and the components are all Yamaha; of which there is a tuner, CD player, cassette player and a graphical equaliser. I managed to find a 3.5...

    VSONIC V7007 (former "GR08") - Info & expectations thread

    in all seriousness tho, I'm not making any rules, but when people are using the thread to boost their post count or say what's on all of our minds, it kind of defeats the purpose of an "Info & Expectations" thread. endrant

    Count me in, this looks like a great little amp. Can't wait to give it a go!

    i would greatly apreciate the opinions of a few experts...

    There is a huge difference between the (i) and the (ii) models, and for the rrp, yes $89 is a stretch, but for $40 for the ii model, I hardly think it's overpriced.
