    BeyerDynamic T1 2nd Generation Damaged & Bent

    I own a pair of 600 ohm T1s ninja black edition. I have used these for years, and I still love the sound from them. I do not want to replace these with anything new from BD, because they fumbled 600 ohm support. It looks like they will never offer 600 ohm T1s ever again. This means the...

    BASN Planar Diaphragm IEMs

    I purchased a pair of BASN Metalen IEMs that I have been very pleased with. They have a very good sound and a good price point. To my surprise I find little mention of BASN at all on Head-Fi. Being an existing customer, I got notification of a new IEM BASN has released: 14.2mm Planar...

    Beyerdynamic 2nd Gen T1s Maintenance Question

    I bought a pack of cheap Crayola paint brushes. These are small brushes with five in a pack of different shapes. I used the small flat angled brush, and I removed all of it with a dry brush fresh out of the pack. The debris actually stuck to the brush probably due to a static cling. I simply...

    Are there any wireless over-head in-ear headphones?

    It looks like Sony only has in-ear as opposed to over head that are that thin and wireless. All their thin headphones that are over head are wired. For in ear, there are many variations: WI-SP500 WI-SP600N WF-SP700N WI-C300

    Are there any wireless over-head in-ear headphones?

    Looking at the Sony site, the pair I owned were discontinued and closer to these: https://www.sony.com/en-iq/electronics/headband-headphones/wh-ch510 The WHL600 are too big and not the same class of headphone.

    Are there any wireless over-head in-ear headphones?

    I used to own a pair of Sony bluetooth wireless headphones. This was years ago. I initially enjoyed them, but they were not very reliable. I would often lose connection. They were bulkier than what you linked too, but they were not too big. The idea was good, but I was not impressed with...

    Beyerdynamic 2nd Gen T1s Maintenance Question

    Thank you. This is good advice. It's not very bad. It's just not clean. I see a few specs of debris on the inner material. I suspect it is dry and not wet, so it should brush off without issue. The reason I stated a dry cloth will not remove it is similar to dust. Dusting with a dry cloth...

    Beyerdynamic 2nd Gen T1s Maintenance Question

    I have owned the ninja black edition of these for over a year now. They perform well and continue to sound fabulous. I took a look inside the ear cups to see lots of built up crud along the covering of the protective material. What do you use to clean the inner surface of your headphones? A...

    Singxer SA-1 Questions

    It seems that turning all four dip switches on is maximum gain. I will have to experiment to figure out proper settings unless someone has already done this. I have the volume turned less than one quarter toward max well below 50%, and it is a comfortable listening level driving 600 ohm...

    Singxer SA-1 Questions

    I just received a new Singxer SA-1 today that I am using right now to drive Beyerdynamic T1s. This unit replaced the Little Dot SE8 that failed last year. The Singxer works without issue, but I have no documentation whatsoever for it. I originally thought it lacked power, but there are gain...

    Tube Amp Confusion

    My Little Dot had a great sound with plenty of power. I enjoyed listening to it. Unfortunately, it stopped working after only two months of daily usage. I had lost all output from it for both balanced and single-ended output jacks. It had four damaged resistors that resulted in this output...

    Questions On Little Dot Reliability

    My Little Dot MK8 SE has been with the repair shop now for over one week. I called for information regarding the damage to learn that four resistors must be replaced in the unit. One is completely destroyed and black. They suspect that the destroyed one resulted in three others becoming burnt...

    Questions On Little Dot Reliability

    I bought a Little Dot MK8 SE back in August. I was happy with it and listened to it daily. Just two days ago in the afternoon, I lost all audio output from it. I made several attempts to resolve the issue that all failed. There was absolute silence from both PHONES1 and PHONES2 output jacks...

    Little Dot MK VIII SE Issues: SOLVED

    This was a stupid mistake on my part. I have two rack units in my mini rack. I connected the RCA cables to my SD Recorder instead of my CD player. Once I noticed this and switched cables the Little Dot is working fine.

    Little Dot MK VIII SE Issues: SOLVED

    I sent a message to the seller regarding the issue I face. I actually ordered this from China, but I am now seeing LittleDot has USA distribution too. I will try contacting the USA site with this issue too: https://littledotus.com

    Little Dot MK VIII SE Issues: SOLVED

    My new headphone amp just arrived today. It's a brand new unit that was delivered in its original box undamaged. The unit is in perfect condition, but surprisingly the tubes were all plugged into the sockets while in the box. I guess that is how Little Dot packages their products. The...

    Tube Amp Confusion

    I just ordered two items that have a very long wait time before I get them: 1. Musician Pegasus R2R USB DAC Decoder 2. Little Dot MK VIII SE Fully Balanced Headphone Amplifier Vacuum Tube Dual-Mono This will be my first R2R DAC, and I am looking forward to pairing it with the MK8 above...

    Tube Amp Confusion

    Thanks for sharing this info. So all of these NOS tubes being sold are discontinued yet never before used. As the NOS stock gets used up more, I imagine the prices for the rare tubes will increase exponentially. I think it would make more sense if a small company opens up to manufacture...

    Tube Amp Confusion

    I started to investigate tube amplifiers and am really confused by what I am seeing. Perhaps someone can share insight on my findings. I am seeing that LittleDot has a balanced tube headphone amp in the MK VI+. This is not their latest top-of-the-line model and has been out for quite some...

    Wanting To Import A Fostex HP-A8C From Japan; Voltage Concerns

    You will need a USB SD card reader to copy DSF files from your computer to an SD card.   I only made use of this feature one time to see how it works.  I have no need of playing DSF files, since I do not use this format.  To test it, I converted one of my APE or FLAC files to DSF using...

    Wanting To Import A Fostex HP-A8C From Japan; Voltage Concerns

    Sorry for the late response.  I did not get email notification of your reply.   Everything is working fine with the HP-A8.  Nothing has changed from my previous posts above with my settings.   I did move two months ago, and my AC voltage is now lower than it was in my previous home.  The...

    Sony NW-F807 Observations

    Hello, and thank you for the tip.   Unfortunately, x-apps does not install on my version of Windows 7.  It does not install on the English language version of the operating system, so I cannot use it.   The first scan took a very long time.  It took three full weeks to complete the...
