I've been using the Studio+ for a few months with only one tiny issue which I'll mention in a minute. However, a bigger issue that just came up is for some reason, all of a sudden my right channel is louder than the left. I determined it was the Studio+ after checking with headphones and...

Thats what I began to think. I was hoping it would have been completely passive if the volume knob was maxed, but apparently not

So I tried to have this kinda unnecessary setup so I just have to hit a couple buttons and switch between my turntable and dac as inputs, then my speakers, solid state headphone amp, and tube amp as outputs. And where I'm having trouble, a preamp to switch between the headphone amps and 2 sets...

Right now I am trying to set up my turntable, but I can't seem to get rid of a hum with underlying buzz. The table I'm using is a Pro-ject debut III with an emotiva xps-1 phono preamp. The sound occurs whether or not the turntable is connected to the preamp and I have also tried connecting the...

I'm wondering if it's ok to use multiple passive/active switches in a row for multiple inputs/outputs. I have a turntable and DAC as inputs, then 2 headphone amps and a pair of speakers as outputs. I found the Mackie Big Knob Studio+, but I was wondering if there were any better options...

I have 2 input devices and 3 output devices and I am trying to find a matrix so I can easily switch between the inputs and outputs. However I can't seem to find one that would be appropriate for home use. It can be either a desktop unit or preferably a rack mount unit as I'm using a 2 post...

Will get back to you guys after he takes a look... If I remember haha

It's a pro-ject debut 3. The noise produced while the turntable was connected sounded more like static, similar the pops when playing vinyls. I'm letting my cousin take a look at it right now since he's a way more hardcore audiophile and has experience with vinyl. Just a waiting game now.

Even when I had the turntable attached, there were 2 tones, the same hum, along with other noise which I wanted to figure out later. I haven't really touched the setup in a week or so

I've done every possible mixture of solutions to solve the issue with the mani without any success. Down to running the mani and amp on a ups that wasn't plugged into the wall and it still produced the same tone. The previous owner said he didn't have any issues with it which is what's really...

@ScubaMan2017 I emailed him and he sent me a list of generic solutions, along wit the ones on their faq guides. Nothing worked, so I emailed him back but he hasn't responded yet, I'm assuming because of the weekend. So now I'm just waiting for his response to see if he can help or not.

I was recently given a Schiit mani, but no matter what I do the device produces a hiss. There is no turntable attached, just output. I have moved it around, changed the rca's and wall wart, isolated it to its own power conditioner, isolated it with the headphone amp I'm using to the same...

I was thinking of making a cable for my hd650's with some mogami w2534 and I wanted to sleeve it with some nice paracord. I would have used mdpc-x sleeving (like techflex), but I heard plastic sleeving just causes trouble. I wasn't sure what the best weights to use for the main jacket and the...

I'm trying to find a pair of speakers to set up around my tv. The left side is kinda against a wall, but i tried to pull it as far away as I could to the right. My budget is 40-500 plus the receiver if I need one, I can spend a little more if it is a way better setup that way What are some...

I'm going to make a cable for my t40rp's because the stock 1/4 one literally died on me in 20 minutes of use. Therefore I'm going to just make my own cable, but I have 1 question regrading these headphones specifically. Will there be interference issues with the 3.5mm lock on the headphones...

When I connect my sub to the sub out on my speakers, I get a large amount of white noise. I can connect the sub directly to my dac and it works fine, and only get noise with the speakers.   Why do I get a ton of white noise when it's hooked up to them?

Interesting, now I just gotta get my hands on some amps and extra parts, since I don't really want to to apart my own amp.

I want to learn how to design different headphone amps, but from a couple quick google searches I couldnt find anything super helpful. Where would I go to learn how they are designed so I could make my own if I ever wanted to?

I have a headroom maxxed out home amp and I want to use it as a preamp in conjunction as a normal headphone amp.  I am a dummy when it comes to this stuff, so thats obviously why I came here.  From what I understand, I have to unplug the headphones to turn it into a preamp? Is that all there is...

looks like I asked in the wrong place

I'm going to make a cable for my headphones, but I'm having trouble looking for some decent connectors.  There are the cardas ones, which look really bad with the giant hole in the side which has to be covered with heatshrink.  The furutech ones are really nice, but cost ~$40 . And other than...

I imagine the simple solution for the 8 to 2 4 wire braids would be a splitter or heatshrink.  I bet he is going to plug his website in, but I do kind of like plussoundaudio's splitters 

I understand how the twisted works, not sure what the parallel run is, other than literally just running the wires next to each other.  I've seen a few ways people have made cables with multiple wires, such as twisting the positive and negative together clockwise on 2 sets of wires, then twist...

Alright, I'm back with more questions....   I want to replace my old, worn out hd650 headphone cable.  I have some btg 26 awg wire laying around and wasn't sure If I should do a 4 or 8 wire braid.  It is pretty thin so I think the 8 wire braid would look pretty sweet.     I know that there...

well I'm dumb.  It is .3 ohms resistance, not impedance.  Hmmm, I feel that it should have pretty solid connections, but there is no noise and they sound great, so that's whats important to me
