    THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD

    This really doesn't qualify as DIY but . .   These things mount on the wall and are for holding a guitar where the neck meets the head. The two fingers are covered in foam.

    Thanks, Lee. This was my first Head-Fi meet, and Josh and I had a great experience. Loved the LCD-X with the Woo WA6-SE combination that Jack brought. With hi-res well-recorded source material the mids were rich but not too warm, the bass tight and tuneful, attack/definition was outstanding...

    Just got in some Nucleotide wire from DHC, and some of their 3/8" and 1/8" black sleeving. The wire is very nice looking, and I'm thinking about leaving it bare. If I do, what's the best way to treat the 4-to-2 split about a foot before the ear cups?

    Sub'd, y'all.   DHC is selling their Nucleotide 24 ga. OCC copper/clear teflon for $1.99. I'm thinking about braiding that stuff nekid. What's the rule of thumb for estimating how much extra length you need when you do a four wire braid? I'm shooting for a 10' finished length.   Thx

    I'll also bring a pair of Beyer DT880 600's; I understand that they play nicely with the Crack.

    Assuming that it has been received, built and making music by 10/26, should I bring a gently modded Bottlehead Crack w/Speedball and Senn HD600 w/Stefan Audio Art Equinox cable?

    New to Head-Fi - glad to see something in the extended neighborhood (coming from northeast PA). See you with my 14 year-old gamer (Steel Series fan) son in October! Anything we can do to help?

    Please add 2 more to the list - my 14 year-old wants to come, too. We'll do the Philadelphia meet in October, and then swing over to Queens in November. I was afraid all the good stuff would be happening on the left coast - a journey too far, unfortunately. Is there anything we can do to help?

    Quote: That would be the heater power, and B+ for the output tube. Thats where you use the 600 vdc rated hook-up wire, in this case, the Neotech UP-OCC stuff.
