    DIY Electrostatic headphones out of ES TWEETERS?

    If there can be headphones that can act as tweeters (TakeT ) why not put them on your head? Who has ever contemplated this at least?

    Stax SRD-4 into SRD-6 - how?

    I have no clue but somebody on the Stax thread posted about that as if it were not only possible but even quite easy...

    STAX: *****-SB versus non-SB adapters...

    Has anybody listened to, say both SRD-6SB and SRD-6? What's the difference between them? I saw an older post where somebody wondered that SRD-6SB sounded better than SRD7. Well that's against logic but I'm willing to accept some paranormal phenomena - especially if I need no DC power converter...

    List of (non)patented technologies used for manufacturing diaphragms / membranes / drivers

    Sennheiser's Duofol (two layers of material to prevent high frequency distortion) edit - AKG's known to use two layers too so it may be quite common AKG's Varimotion (various thickness of diaphragm) SONY's Biocellulose (it's who knows what - their diaphragms are made out of it) AKG's...

    TakeT H2 technology in microphones?

    I know that AMT is actually using technology that had been used in ribbon microphones, electrostatic headphones are analogical to powered condenser microphones but how about a piezoelectric ribbon mic? One day someone will perhaps start building them and... I think it would be the first time...

    You DON'T NEED Vista NOW... Why?

    Origin of hiss / any solutions to that?

    My MicroShar is somewhat hissy. Why? How can I get rid of the hiss? I could have some ideas but now I'm too tired to post anything that requires any thoughts. Should I rather ask in DIY forums? Thanks!

    Obscure utterly dark depressive music? -not EMO or Black or Death Metal

    I mean obscure but not wide-spread. Less known than Death In June or Explosions In the Sky

    Rockbox + iRiver IHP100 (=IHP120) issues:

    1. It seems that LINE OUT jack is being amped, I keep having the same volume both in headphone jack and line out and I CAN CONTROL VOLUME in rockbox. Am I right? I somewhat can't understand this. 2. How PRECISE is Rockbox's EQ and / or Crosfeed? Having set up EQ properly it should be...

    "Pioneer SE-A1000" owners / reviews (known to be a great can!) ?

    Just search head-fi and you'll find out that albeit quite unknown (not sold in the U.S. ?) they are supposed to be warm but detailed with great soundstage... & They look unique definitely!

    normal bias STAX plugged into PRO energizer (after plug modding)?

    What's the difference between Pro and normal version of headphones themselves? As I know, current lambda basic / classic / signature line is 99.5% identical, the only difference is the cable gauge used and leather earpads used for higher models. Did Stax change the actual headphones at all...

    ATTENTION PLEASE: Altec Lansing's IM716 = IM616 with the 'pod'?

    Can anyone prove they feature exactly same drivers and earpieces? I must say MANY people had this question in mind and even searching head-fi thoroughly didn't help me find out. Thank you! --- I'm sorry for almost vulgarily begging for your attention but I'm a little upset that there...

    ETYMOTIC ER6 / ER6i naming chaos

    Etymotic naming convention for that model is full o' mess... I can't tell myself in fact which name is correct, so I'm asking YOU for help! Thank you very much, I hope that many head-fiers would like to shed some light on that white / transparent intraaural darkness... Etymotic ER6 ? ||...

    STAX GAMMA (non-pro) - vs. - STAX SR-X mk III (non-pro)

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Which do you think sounds better? P.S. Logically SR-X mk III or Stax Gamma should in no way sound better than current SR-202 because of membrane size and thickness and shape as well as higher bias BUT as far as most of us know they do sound better! WHY? Thanks!

    Modding Speaker Amp for Headphones?

    How about modifying T-Amp or an old tube amp to become a headphone amp? Adding output capacitors to match the one of the headphone, but what else is needed?

    Modding Etymotic ER4.

    Again, this is a question. 'Cause I'm a novice. Is there any other way (except for cutting one flange) to alter the sound? Actually I know about something (wait for me to get my camera back and I'll post a "How to absolutely get rid of microphonics" and "How to achieve more isolation with...

    Plasma Headphones?

    Does such thing exist? What's the principle? I've even that on head-fi some days ago, even used search tool (to prove I'm not a noob)... ...but it seemed to be just a JOKE. Is(n't) it?

    Beyerdynamic DT801 vs. 880

    I hope someone has auditioned them both. Alas not me. Are the DT880 better or just different? Beyer apparently doesn't think that "Faster = Higher = Stronger" (my awkward attempt to pun on Citius, Altius, Fortius...) Hence higher number doesn't always match price / quality... So -...

    Preamp as a headphone amp?

    Preamp as a headphone amp? Is that possible? How can I mod a standard tube preamp to use it with high-impendance headphones? ((300 ohm)) Should I change the output capacitors to fully enjoy the tubes? Should I buy a headphone amp instead although costs 40% more?

    Another sci-fi / headphone? See pic!

    Do you know what this could be? Got no specs & no name... Perhaps an electret - it's made to be plugged into speaker outputs... T H A N K S !!
