Hi, I found a few old posts that suggested parts-express but I am currently living in NZ. Somewhere from Asia might be better. I looked at Penon but they just seem to have pre-made cables more designed for smaller IEMs. Any suggestions?

I had a sudden thought the other day about what I would do if the drivers died in my D2000s. AKG makes a newer version of essentially the same design right? Has anyone ever managed to source replacement drivers?

So my Sansa Clip Zip died and I replaced it with a Shanling M0. I found the lack of a proper EQ on the M0 meant that despite supposedly having better audio quality, it sounds worse than my Clip did. The touch screen also doesn't work well. I looked at getting a replacement sansa Clip online...

My original clip broke on my sansa clip. They don't sell replacements any more but I was trying to think of something readily available that I could just crazy glue to the back. Anyone have suggestions? Not sure where I could find a simple clip.

So the store I bought my EPH100s from originally no longer has stock.  I keep hearing that many of the ebay sellers have fakes and it seems to be hard to find these in Australia.    Any suggestions for a legit store that will ship overseas and not charge a ridiculous amount?

So I have had a few clips.  I recently had my Clip and yamaha EPH100s stolen.  I was reading that the newer clips use cheaper components that don't sound as good as the last generation.  Because I use portable audio 80% of the time in the gym, 15% traveling and 5% random, I need a relatively...

I am looking for new headphones with decent clarity and bass.  I wear my headphones mostly in the gym and behind the ear just doesn't work well for me when being active.  It looks like the VSONIC VSD3 is better then the VSD1 but mainly designed for behind the ear use.  Am I right about this...

I have a newer Clip Zip.  (My old clip had its clip break and it seems impossible to find the replacement.)   The sansa clip zip works great for what I use it for (gym).  I just wondered what else is out there.  

I haven't been on Head-fi for ages now.    I have been using a Line 6 Guitar port as my DAC into a Millet Starving Student that I built.  I always thought the Guitarport as a DAC wasn't ideal.  But I also am not sure how happy I am with the MHSS as an amp for the D2000s.  I had contemplated...

I am currently in Taipei visiting for a few days. I had hoped to find a place with tube based amps and electronics. (Also planning to build a guitar amp). Is there an area of Taipei known for tube amps?

So I went shopping the other day and forgot I had my clip with me. It is long gone now. The sad thing is that they sell the 4gb version for 150$ in Australia! I can't even find the 8gb ones and they are just $49 at Walmart in NA! If anyone knows of an online store that sells these at a good...

I liked it when Incognito, Brand New Heavies and even Jamiroquai came out in the 90s. Has anyone heard of bands similar to that genre. Jazz-funk but with modern sounds (have already visited all of the blogspots to discover obscure 60-70s jazz funk so want to hear about newer artists). Even the...

I have looked at the AX84, DIYsteve and a few other amp design sites. Most of them are dedicated to replicating the earlier tube amps from Fender or Marshall. However, I am thinking of building a hybrid amp since I have a gainclone kit lying around I have no use for. Does anyone know of a...

I am wondering if there are any solid state headphone amps that are recommended projects? Everyone talks about the millet and soha etc. but not much about SS (either than the mini3).

I have been toying with the idea of building a small portable dac for use with my laptop. The Bantam DAC is supposed to have the same sort of features of the Alien DAC in a smaller package. However I don't know if many people have built them yet here. Anyways, let me know. I have to go out rural...

Well the title sums it up. I was toying with the idea of ordering an Alien DAC kit but wondered if there are other kits out there with similar or better quality without shelling out alot of $.

I have the following switch: http://www.gammods.com.au/store/imag...erminals_l.jpg I am used to the single throw switches that have 2 terminals but this has 3. I am assuming that in order to wire this up as a simple on/off switch I just have to use the COM and NO as my 2 terminals and...

Well, I previously posted about how I wasn't too impressed with my new D2000. They have had a little more burn in time now. I still have a few issues with them and plan on doing part of the Markl mods soon. At low volumes the D2000 sounds great. With the volume up a little, it becomes very...

I thought I would post a link to this video of someone making tubes. I ended up watching the whole thing which is rare with my attention span! http://mxrk.net/home/month/january-2008?currentPage=2 I couldn't post the direct link. ( I think it was censoring out the **** part of the title!)...

I am listening to my new D2000s. The bass seems really boomy. Not tight at all. I am just using a mini3 to power them currently (could that be part of the problem). Seems fine for blues and classic rock but hip hop and some jazz just doesn't sound right. It is almost like listening to one of...

A thread seems to have disappeared about a new millet max design that is smaller than the last. Anyone know where it went?

I have been trying to figure out what headphones to buy based on what I am reading on head-fi. When I used to live in Ontario there were lots of places I could go to test out Hps. Here I can't seem to find anywhere. I want clarity and bass with low extension. I am trying to choose between...

I know you can use Autocad and SolidWorks etc for drawing 3d plans but they are overkill for my purposes. I just want to draw a case design with holes and dimensions etc. I could almost use paint or something but want it to look nicer than that. Any suggestions appreciated. I don't want to...

I have some broken old electronic stuff I was about to throw out and wondered if I could salvage some parts. I was thinking about this and wondered if desoldering caps would cause enough heat to damage them. Has anyone else done this?

I was looking at the usual basic electronics places (jaycar etc) but can't seem to find decent toroids that are cheaper locally than getting them shipped over from NA. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
