Thanks for the review Victor always appreciate some light shed here on head-fi. Hopefully I can clear some things up, sorry I didn't spot this sooner, always glad to answer questions on these. @ xnothingpoetic I've done just under 50 pairs now and always use the heat method, it doesn't take...

I would personally for with 21 AWG, which is the normal thickness of canare starquad L4E6S. I made one out of this for myself a while back along with a silver one and a silver plated one, and I think the Canare holds it's own very well. I think the 24awg is the size of the "mini" quads. Hope...

Thanks AMB, I'll let ya know if it works. -OL

Looking for a some recommendations on JISBOS bias settings (hooked to SOHA) Currently I have it set at 30, and it seems good for my Senn 650s, but produces a very small background noise (hiss) on low Ohm headphones (grados). If anyone has a recommendation or fix, I would greatly appreciate...

Take a paper flat paper plate, spread the paint across it evenly and make sure it's shallow, I would use a paint that can wipe easily off the ring, or if you get any on the cup. Should be easy, good luck. Edit: I would use oil paint. Or plastic bonding paint, which comes in a can and can be...

HD-650. If you haven't tried them, it's worth a shot. They sound great. GL on your hunt.

Grado SR-225s IMO, especially for un-amped. Although I'm a little biased being a Grado fan. They will definitely be great for rock and super great for metal and good with the other genres.... but great for the rock If you want to get something cheaper the MS-1s are great phones as well...

Hey guys, I must have missed this thread. Thanks for all the kind comments It always makes me happy to see a happy customer and people enjoy the work. If you guys have any questions please let me know, I'll do my best to answer. Thanks, Cody@HeadCoverage PS: Sorry for the bump.

MOT means Member of Trade, meaning you have some kind of service/business and geared towards head-fier's and likely do some kind of sponsoring of the site. Have you decided to buy from these guys ? I am curious to hear your experience. As mentioned before darkmart has a rating of 1.5/10 on...

Guys, I would HIGHLY suggest staying away from this seller. Sorry if this sounds redundant. -Cody

You should take those links down, please don't advertise for this HORRIBLE, SCAMMING, company. See the review link someone posted earlier on page one.

Hey asamus, I think you'll really find the SOHA will out shine the LDII+ with a tube upgrade and burn in time. Enjoy.

I'm amazed you think the LDII+ sounds better then the SOHA.IMO the LDII+ is congested has a muddy sound. You can see my SOHA vs. LDII+ comparison in the Headphone Amp section, if you want to give it a look. As far as tubes you might want to give the electro harmonix 12au7a a listen. I noticed...

DigitalMind, It's so funny every time I come to check progress your design is totally new/different Subscribed... this should be a awesome build. Good Luck, SD

I love the idea! Can't wait to see it finished, honestly turntables aren't always to sexy but that! is sexy. Good luck.

How you have the headphones cup placed in the picture. Left wire goes to ground on the Jack, and right wire goes to left or right channel depending on which is which. Some more info: Recable Grado [Alessandro Music Series 1] - page 2!

Hey trying to do some bias adjusting right now the problem is when I initially got the kit I was spinning the bias and offset knobs all over the place. I'm sure it's something hideous. So I figured I would power it up for a second and try to get some measurements with my multimeter. Well the...

I did but not closely enough at ALL. Wow I can see why you asked if I adjust it or not, sounds extremely important to do so. I did read it now and tomorrow will give it some adjusting and post how it goes. Fingers crossed *X*

Not sure on quiescent current, although I know the SOHA worked beautifully for quite a few months before I tried to do the JISBOS buffer on. It's definitly doesn't have anything to do with headphones or source. This is like a BAD crackly noise coming through the headphones, the volume control...

Well I got it all wired up to the SOHA, but it sounds REALLY grainy although both channels are working. If anyone has any input before I pull it out and check all connections and clean it up tomorrow. It would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Yes I did look at it, thats how I figured out which pins where which. Please don't be irritated I'm not very good at this. Thanks for your help. EDIT: MisterX very cool diagram, and it was written by AMB! WOW you guys are heaven sent! Thank you !

Quick question, I had trying to hook it up to the SOHA, and honestly it's really frustrating. I used this method..... alternative (perhaps superior) way of hooking up the JISBOS to the SOHA The headphone jack ground is connected to SOHA's OG pad, but its left and right tabs are wired to...
