As the title says, I am purchasing new headphones. The 701's will cost me $40 less than the Senn's, but both of these are on credit card rewards gift cards so it is really "free". I currently use grado 225's which I like except for they are a little peaky in the treble for female vocals. I...

So I have fallen in love with my stax srm 001 in ear system and would like to move to a larger stax system. I am not in any real hurry to build this but would like to start the ball rolling. I have read all threads related to this amp and have found many links don't work. I know there were BOM's...

On Monday I had the opportunity to audition the Martin Logan CLX speakers at my dealer. I thought I would share my impressions as it is a fairly new speaker that few have had the chance to hear. The system was as follows: Esoteric DV-60 VTL TL-7.5 Linestage VTL Siegfried Reference...

Does anyone know if the US stax distributor, Yamas inc. is having problems? I ordered a system from my dealer, and they aren't hearing anything back from the distributor. They were just recently made an authorized dealer from what I understand, though they may still be in limbo there too...

Since they were clearly very dirty (as was the ipod they were connected to), my er-6i received a cleaning in the washing machine. (they were in the pants I had planned to wear the next day, which weren't dirty) While I would like to say the audiophile wash process removed the upper treble...

I just finished soldering up my mini 3 and started to go through the initial checks and everything was fine until I got to the output dc offset check. I had below 5 mV for OG and OL but for OR my reading was around 180 mV. How should I proceed from here? Does this probably mean I ruined an...

While I have just recently registered to this forum, I have been reading up on USB dacs and DIY headphone amps. I plan to build the bottlehead sex amp as it fits my budget and should be relatively easy to build for someone with little experience. The harder choice is which DAC to buy or build...
