Yes, but... are they audiophiles worth their salt?? ;)

Went to HeadRoom but the HE-560  is now marked "out of stock".

  It is being replaced by the HE-560, which should be shipping in late June or early July.

^  The simple cable in my post cost $25 in total:  $4 for 4 pcs. banana plugs, $3 for the Neutrik jack and $18 for the wires and soldering fee. 

I am the same, so I just bought the materials and sought the help of a hobbyist friend who is handy with a soldering iron. Page 1 of the emotiva thread mentions that you can order cables like this from BTG-Audio and zynsonix.com...

  Something like this, four banana plugs at one end and a 1/4" jack at the other end. I just bought the materials and asked a DIY-er friend to do the soldering. I'm not very familiar with the NAD 326 bee design so make sure that your amplifier has shared (connected) grounds, because if the...

Quote:   After putting on, massage the leatherette a bit along its length to lessen the strain on the middle clips.

In my case Matthew shipped the cable 7 days after I placed my order.

Quote:   And I'm only now beginning to enjoy mine! Got it a  few months back but was able to set it up only lately. Does anyone know if the MKII will have Stanley's advanced usb input already?    After initial listen, the Bushmaster doesn't disappoint with either of my favorite...

Quote:   Got a very nice cable from Forza Audioworks for about half that cost, with international shipping.   http://www.head-fi.org/t/661441/forza-audioworks-the-appreciation-thread/45#post_9603571

Count me among Forza Audioworks' satisfied and appreciative customers. I ordered a copper series HE-500 cable with nylon multifilament sleeving, flat braid, 2.5 meters long with 6.3mm Neutrik jack.    Cost was affordable and international shipping was really fast! Besides, Matthew is...

In my case microphonic noise occurs only when the two wires above the Y-split rub together or rub against something metallic in my clothes. No microphonics from the long intertwined cable below the Y-split. So I just kept the two wires as far apart as possible.    Also you may want to check...

Yes, quite a few of us here bought directly from amazon.jp and used Tenso shipping service. Isn't this an option for you?

Quote:   Thanks for the info. But this is on topic because...?

Quote:     I have both the ATH-AD2000X and HE-500, and they get equal listening time. Two very different headphones with sound signatures that are poles apart, yet both so involving. I would describe the ATH-AD2000X as the more airy and spacious, with more details; the HE-500 is more...

Instead of resistors, can we use the attenuators recommended in the Magni thread:   http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=266-244   Do they serve the same purpose of presenting the amp with a load? Or do they work in a totally different way?   Thanks!

Thanks a lot, guys, for the info and the advice.

Guys, I have a Rotel RA-02 integrated amplifier that's not being used anymore. It outputs 40 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms, 10 watts less than the Emotiva mini-X A-100. Can anybody tell me how many watts it will output into the HE-500's 38 ohms, as I have no idea how to compute this?   ...

Guys, do you know how much the G109-P weighs?  I plan to buy this through my forwarder and they charge me by dimension and weight. Couldn't find the info on the first page or the links.   Thanks!

Quote:     I just bought a shortened 1.5-meter, 3.5mm-terminated cable from Custom-Cable:   http://www.custom-cable.co.uk/sennheiser-hd598-replacement-lead-3m.html   May be you can inquire if they would sell you the connector to the headphone separately.

Quote:   Online, though, there's a lot. Have you been to http://theartofsound.net? A wealth of info there about the Bushman, its development, its highly regarded predecessor, the Caiman (which earned a 5-star review from What Hifi), user reviews. That's where I learned that Stanley...

Quote:   Thanks, Neurofone! This, and the one posted earlier by Tangster, give me two alternatives to try!

Quote:   Thanks for the info, exactly what I was looking for!  However, will play around for a while with the stock OS before rooting 

Just got a 32-gig Nexus 7. Lots of space for FLAC files. Audio from the headphone jack on the HD598 is OK, not great. I suppose the 3.5mm jack is analogue only, but I wonder if there is a way to extract digital audio out of the micro USB for a portable DAC/amp?
