    Free: DIY start kit in DFW area

    I've not had time to get back into the DIY world like I used to. This is my "getting out of DIY" offering as I'm moving and need to downsize. I'm offering up a nice random assortment of parts to anyone who could use them in the DFW area(local only). Preferably to a new DIY'er.   -Full "millet...

    A new start with the O2

    Well, I was enjoying my O2, I gave it to a friend, but he said he couldn't get it to work.   Cue frustration.   On further review one of the 9V batteries looks somewhat deformed. Not sure if it was an internal battery issue or an amp-charging issue.   The amp lights up when plugged...

    A new start with the O2

    Given the drama in the other thread I thought it appropriate to start a new thread regarding this amp.     I built up two of these this past weekend.     I must say I'm quite impressed with the overall performance, especially considering the price. I've built several high end amps...

    another firstwatt f2 build log

    Hey All,   Just wanted to pop back in and say that the F2 is still running great...4 years later! Only issue that has arisen is the cheap $50 transformer makes a very quiet hum that is audible about 1 foot from the amp... Otherwise, heatsinking has held up surprisingly well- I've...

    Waiting for New AKG Flagship Headphones

    really dissapointed...akg is going to keep taking the same headphone, tweaking it a bit, and then releasing..no driver development, no real innovation anymore   *sigh*..If this is the direction high-end audio is going... by the time I'm middle aged I'll be wearing Justin Bieber Premium...

    Sennheiser HD 800 - price control?

    lets suppose the HD800's didn't have price controls- would you expect teh market price to go up or down? Lets say they discontinued them today- do you think they would be in high demand? Now lets look at the AKG K1000- finished production at $450.... I paid $1050 for mine just a year after...

    Anyone else not happy with the TripleFi10's?

    blank case for me I'm listening to a bassy song now...it isn't sounding very tight at all..kinda mushy? I know I sound like I'm just bashing these phones but I'm growing increasingly amazed at how they could be so hyped and not sound very good(to my ears). I got mine for $40, amazon...

    Anyone else not happy with the TripleFi10's?

    Anyone else unhappy with these? Compared to my ER4-S, amped with a good source, its like someone chopped off all the upper range clarity on these..they are incredibly warm and full bodied, but it just sounds, well, rather not good to my ears!(thats with all the different tips, deep in ears, more...
