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...

If anyone knows where to get a Hi Res JISBOS pic, or has one that I could refer to during assembly I would greatly appreciate it. EDIT: NVM I just gave it a go, took a little time figuring things out with just a schematic and part list, but I feel like it went pretty smoothing. If you...

What would you rather have and why, B22+Opus, OR Oritek v4.1+Boutique SOHA w/JISBOS ? Thanks for looking and any kind of input is appreciated. FYI I use COAX out on my MacPro I can use USB out or Optical, My headphones are: SR-225s w/Mahogany woodies. Sennheiser HD650 w/upgraded...

Ok so I was plugging my Oritek into my computers COAX out jack and I never noticed until yesterday that that Jack is just horrid looking. I might be wrong and this might not make the slightest difference but how it's mounted on the motherboard only allows the Coax cable to slide on about a 1/3"...

As of now I own a LDII+ and I feel like it's totally congested has no highs and lows, it's putting a serious damper on my day So I decided I wan't to have a DIY'er build me an amp, that will sound great with Senns HD650 and Grados. I know their is a huge price gap between the amps I am...

I just received a SOHA in the mail from my buddy "sacd lover" here on head-fi. Very nicely built in a sexy hammond case. My previous amp I had been using was my Little Dot II+, I wanted to put them head to head. Headphones used are Sens HD650, and soon I'll test out my SR-225's and SR-80's...

Hey thought you guys could help on this one. I spend alot of time in my workshop. And I would enjoy some music while I work, but will NO WAY take my modded SR225's in there. So I'm looking for a the best headphone that falls into these categories: 1. Can withstand saw dust and other crap...

I am looking for an established reviewer willing to test my Mahogany Cups I can pay postage and would be happy to give a discount to the reviewer if they want to keep them. It will help to see past work and have good feedback. Thank you for your time -Cody

Anyone know a good program to keep my PM's organized on my mac. My inbox fills so quickly and I hate deleting PM's over and over again. Right now I can use the basics like safari and text edit but they are all HORRIBLE for any kind of organization or even reading. Formats to export in are CSV...

Ok so I for some reason had it stuck in my head ok I will spend 300usd on an amp and 300usd on a Dac. I didn't even think of the posibility of a 600usd AMP/DAC unit or even a 200/400 DAC and Amp combo. So basically I can split the money up however I just want to come up with the best possible...

Ok so I narrowed it down to the choices you see in the poll, if your thinking all these dacs suck what is this guy thinking choose other and let me know what your thinking. Thanks for you time and helping me choose me dac.

Like the title says which headphones are cry woodie me the most ?

So far I have a pair of woodied SR-225's, and a little dot II+ with russian tubes and my source being a stock computer card, which is obviously my weak link that HAS to go. Can someone point me in the right direction for a dac to fuse well with my current set up. Price is below 250usd. Thanks...

Does anyone know if IC2 or C22 are required or if their is a way around them ? I have no idea what the issue is but if anyone has some basic reasons why this might not be working I would greatly appreciate it.

I tried converting a couple albums from FLAC to Apple Lossless, I can already play FLAC/OGG in my itunes but it takes up more resources to play the flac then the lossless or mpeg,mp3,vbr format and I can't add little things like album art or tags. So in a way itunes native support would be worth...

Alternative B22 PSU ? EDIT: For anyone wanting to know about this subject, I was thinking it's only a PSU you don't need the top dog PSU for a good sound. BUT I was wrong the B22 basically sounds like what it is plugged into, according to B22'erz :P Anyways if you want to go through the...

Please take the time to read this post. My grado 225's headphone cable on the end that connects to the left cup came loose and I just recieved the headphones less then a week ago, so I figured to just pop it open and fix the solder instead of waiting weeks to listen to my hard earned...

I need to pick up a DAC for my RS-1's I was wondering if you guys have any exp. with this. I was checking out the Alien Dac because it's only 50usd and looks decent and it's a DIY which means more money savings (most the time). A non-DIY would be fine to. Help me pick out a DAC please. BTW my...

She's been acting really concerning this morning. She looked very much out of energy and was scratching my basement door, so I went to pick her up so she could sit in my lap but she was extremely limp in my arms (like passed out). I took her to the coach so she could sit with me but she was...

In YOUR opinion what are the most comfortable non oval headphone pads ? Looking forward to what your guys/gals think. And for some reason I don't think Grado Bowls are gonna be on here. ;D

Just wondering how much these things cost when they came out. Did the HP-1's and 3's sell for different prices ? And when where these things released. Thanks.

Does anyone know the quality of the Alien Dac compared to other ones on the market in the 100 dollar area. Specifically this one, Onkyo SE-U55 ONKYO USB Processor review- Sept. 01 AUDIOPHILE AUDITION I could pick that onkyo up at a hefty discount but I have a feeling that the Alien Dac...

With the grado wood headphones. Is the whole enclosure wood including the "bottom" part under that mess that goes up against your ear with holes in it. Or is a plastic panel with the wood cylinder like air chamber ? I've been looking at tons of pics and can't figure it out, considering no...

Ok so I'm on a tight budget seeing I recently lost my job, so I have 350usd tops to play with. Although the less I have to spend the better in my situation. Currently I own a pair of Aless' Music Series 1's that are beat to nothing, so these aren't going to cut it anymore. The cans before...
