Did a search and didn't see anything posted. The guys over @ Make Projects created a custom molded earphone using Radian's custom mold plug, which is an epoxy kit designed to create custom earplugs that sells for around $15. I think I'm going to try this with my RE0     EDIT: Found an...

Hey guys I have a question in regards to how adding a resistor works in a balanced audio cable.   In order for the ER4 to be considered an "S-type", there needs to be x2 75ohm resistors in series with both the left and right channels. However, in a balanced application, where ground and lead...

Browsing through Gizmodo and came across an article entitled "Help! Teens Are Using Digital Drugs to Get High"; short summary: listening to sounds via headphones which induce a translike euphonic state of mind, presumably like getting high. The article provides a link via a Youtube video in...

Been spending the better part of my work hours researching enABL process, which attempts to eliminate standing waves on both drivers AND cabinets. Here's the article written by Bud Purvine, who's pretty big about it over at the DIY audio forum I came across this through various...

Was at my local Barnes and Noble and noticed that the HRT Music Streamer is getting a lot of press, including a 2009 Absolute Sound Golden Ear Product of the Year award. Anyone have any experiences with this $99 USB DAC?

SonicCrafts 20% off sale is back again, (hasn't been since April). I've been checking the site everyday after I missed the first one. Great place to get some wires. Unfortunately some of the caps I wanted aren't on sale. Regardless, SonicCraft is a great company.

Continuing with the tradition with the Ultimate DIY: the 3.5mm 1/8" mini jack plug collection thread thread, I figure that the 1/4" TRS Phone Plug needs some love as well. Same Rules apply as with the other thread. Please please please feel free to contribute a 6.3mm 1/4" TRS Stereo Phone...
