I sold off my HD580s (HD600 grills and HD650 cables) as I hadn't been using them too much the past few years (other priorities and hobbies)... plus they had some issues (cracked headband and intermittent connection). Now, I'm interested in getting back into it... so the question is any...

Looking for a new build, something higher-end and SS... started my journey with a iMod mini, CMOY, SSMH, Gainclone, Mini3, Gamma1 and a SOHAII. At the time I was using HD580s, which have since been sold and will be replaced with HD600/HD650/HD6xx one of them. I'm also interested in planars...

I built a Gainclone amp a while ago to power a set of full-range speakers.  Now I'd like to add a separate subwoofer.  Is it possible to use the Bantam DAC as the source for two amplifiers.   The gainclone uses the Bantam DAC as the Input > 10k pot > stereo amplifier       I was...

This was my first time using Eagle, and I created this circuit/board.  The circuit is used in a vehicle's emissions system.  When power is NOT applied to the relay, the O2 sensor signal comes in and then out to the DME.  However when power IS applied, a 200 mV signal (through the potentiometer)...

I can't seem to find the next/previous thread functions in the forums...   On a side note, I'm not a fan of this new layout.  It would be nice if you could have a "classic" view as before, kind of like Windows XP.

I started my own thread as my post in another thread wasn't going anywhere. I'm looking to build a switch box and thinking of 3+ Inputs and 5+ Outputs, my questions are two-fold. One, if I choose to switch grounds I'll need two 3 pole switches that are make before break. Two, if I choose NOT...

Looking towards another project this time a speaker amp (stereo), expanding my horizons. This will be my first speaker amp, however have already conquered a CMoY, "SS" Millet, SOHAII, and a ϒ1. There is so much info out their on this chip-amp its hard to make choices out of all the info , but...

Hey, I'm looking for an alternative 1/8" stereo jack to RS 274-0246, the same used in the CMoY IIRC (tangentsoft). And no it's not for a CMoY . It needs to be 5-contact: and panel mount. Either a mouser or digi-key item would be helpful, thanks.

Hey Headfier's, I'm still a relatively new headphone user but have been a long time "audiophile"/appreciator of good music stemming back to car stereos and then moving to in-ear phones (shure, head-direct, yuin, etc...). My first set of phones were HD580's that I still currently enjoy and use. I...

In the spirit of previous tube threads I'm starting this one for the SOHA II hybrid amplifier. I know it's a little early (prototypers just finished off their builds), but I'd like to get this started for interested users. The amplifier is based on the 12AU7 family of tubes and many others that...

Hey DIY'ers, Yea I'm back and looking to build another amplifier upon recently completing my Millet "SS" Hybrid and earlier CMoY. I'm looking for the next step up in amplifier beyond the "SS" and a good "synergy" with Senn HD580's. I like the warmth and soundstage of the Millet, but I want...

I ran a quick test of my newly modded Mini DAP. First I tested it against my onboard sound card (Macbook Pro) and then used it to record the data from the Mini. I used a freeware version of RMAA... First up are the results of the Mini vs. MBP: Seems like the MBP's sound card has a...

Hey guys, I'm looking for some recommendations as to a pair of entry-level headphones mostly used for Rock, Metal, & and some Grunge. I know asking questions like this you'll get a million answers, but there are just so many choices. I had the same questions before when I was first getting into...

Hey guys, I'm still new to the whole understanding electronic circuits but I'm making headway... I'm particularly interested in output coupling caps and their role in DAC's. I've recently iModed my iPod Mini so I can take advantage of the Wolfson WM8711 DAC for the time being. First question...

After finishing a CMoY build, I'm satisfied for now... but I'm already contemplating building a better amp, though my question is what's the next step? or better recommended step in sound improvement. For the near future I have no plans to get into using headphones, I'm primarily stuck on...

I know this is not the typical question for these forums, however the basic circuitry must be similar to that of an op-amp. I've decided to add an external mic to my camcorder (Aiptek A-HD+), since the on-board one is terrible. I need a mic that can operate in high noise environments and not...

Hey guys, just finished up my cmoy build and would now like to add a DC power supply to conserve battery power when using it at my desk. I'm currently running my cmoy off 2x 9V batteries and thought I'd add a DC jack (seperating PS from batteries with a set of diodes). I have this PS at home...

*BUILD DONE* I completed my build of the CMoY, it took a few hours since it was my first DIY amp build and I strayed from the original plans. All in all I'm happy with the build, after using it for a while on 2x 9V, I switch over to a DC wall-wart and to accompany it I added a THREAD. Here...

Hey guys looking for some advice on upgrading my IEM's. Back when I got my iPod Mini (~4yrs ago) I thought the included Apple buds sounded awesome... I did a little research at the time and learned about "sound-isolating" canal-phones. My search led me to Shure's E2 IEM's and I was throughly...
