Hey long time no see. I have been out of the headphone game for a while but I decided to go ahead and buy some decent cans and these AKG k271 mkIIs are pretty sweet sounding. However I have a problem. Even with my Emu 0404 USB dac driving them the volume is just not as much as I would like it. I...

simply put where do you find your diy parts?

white female jack for a regular headphone 1/8th plug. white is one I want but I am also interested in other colors like red or blue. but anyways I am not looking for anything high end. in fact low end would be just fine. all that matters is the color of the jack. I want it to match the color of...

I really do not know where to look for diy products. can someone direct me to where I could find female plugs in various colors?

no lol I do not think i got sr60is back. one of the drivers was cutting in and out which was probably just a busted wire. also the other driver (I think the right one) would have trouble producing bassy sounds. would sound staticy with low frequencies I guess. they sent em back with everything...

just got em back! they never responded or anything really. I was going to call em today. but then they showed up at my door before I called em lol. they sound great and look like they were cleaned really well (maybe parts were replaced?). all in all they feel almost brand new. very happy right now.

I sent out my sr60s via ups and they received em around the 26th of last month. I have yet to hear even a peep out of them. no emails, phone calls, or letter to date. I understand it can be a long process so I am just wondering what other people have experienced with Grado Labs warranty service...

Im seriously trying to figure our a way to keep these headphones. I need new clothes and we have a few bills that are behind. Im not sure what I could do.... maybe a payday advance...... these are my first nice headphones..... I feel very sentimental about them... Im sure some of you can relate!

so Im gonna have to sell my much loved alessandro ms2is..... it makes me sad.... but I really need to. so before I post my sale thread here on head fi I had a question. I keep hearing about paypal fees and Im not sure how to calculate them. Im gonna sell this thing at 250 free shipping but I...

what company makes the mini^3?

I DO have a IEM phobia!!! lol I just cant get over it. they seem uncomfortable! I had vibes and they were pretty uncomfortable. anyways guys I tried out what everyone said about the koss ksc75 and it worked! now these babies are tight and secure on my ears. they will never fall off at this rate...

what is so great about the go vibe magnum? I do not really need the dac. so anything with a dac just seems like wasted money for me. I thought I was gonna get a netbook but I am reconsidering my purchase.

nankai thank you so much! I really appreciate your generosity!

windows you mean? well if I had the time and energy I would likely use some sort of linux distro. but as it stands I use windows or as you put it "pc". mac os runs on some other kind of non-personal computer system right? (one of my pet peeves too....)

sweet deal.... I might get these.

paste is awesome. found out about modern skirts, avett brothers, and pilot drift through paste. great publication imo!

yeah not a believer of burn in myself. those are some sweet cans kontai. I have the ms2is and I have always wondered how wooden headphones sound. is there a clear difference between plastic/metal/wooden chambers?
