Having trouble finding a replacement headphone jack adapter for my old Denon AHD2000. Am wondering if I specifically need a Denon adapter or if the threaded portion of the jack/adapter is industry standard. Can anyone help me out? For example, wondering if the Shure HPAQA1 adapter would be...

I have a grand to throw around and want to get some nice IEMs.  I spend 4-8+ hours per day listening to my SE215s at work currently (laptop as source, no extra fancies).  I'm comfortable with the shape and design of the 215s in terms of fit so logically I've been looking at the 846.  I like to...

I'm in the market for a desktop DAC/Amp combo for use with my Grado RS2-i's and MBPro as source (connected via USB).  True to Grado style, I favor a lively exciting sound signature with lots of presence and articulation.   In the running: Audio-GD FUN Matrix Mini-i 2009 Yulong Dah1 Mk...

I wouldn't do rain, but I've ridden my bike with the RS2i's on before.

I searched for "sony mdr ear pad" and got nothing. There were a few google results for goofy colored ones but I just wanted the oem replacements. I found ONE option on ebay for $21 including shipping which seems okay, but it doesn't say anything about being a legit SONY brand item. Could it be...

Where did you find the viablue splitter? I looked around on the internet and checked the vendor's supplied sites but couldn't find splitters on any of them.

I heard the rs2 today and much prefer it to the 325, so the budget issue is out. I'm going to get the rs2i, and will have up to $400 dollars left for the dac/amp. I know a lot of people are using the compass, which falls in to my price range. Would this be better/worse than the EF2 when used...

Well, I got overzealous in my first attempt at assembling a headphone rig. My main failures involved picking the wrong brand of headphones for my preferences and poorly evaluating my primary usage; I bought hd650's which I found to be not exiting, or fun enough, and an ibasso d4. The D4 sounds...

I'm really interested in building this amp. It sounds like a really fun first amp to build, and I might have to build it just for the fun factor. The thing is, I'm in to a pretty bright sound with high frequency clarity, and from what I've read, this amp is very warm and tubey. I'm currently...

4x24AWG (silver platted copper) 1/8" nylon sleeving covering all Cardas plugs from cryoparts Neutrik "REAN" mini jack Sorry for the very bad picture; this project took place between 10-12pm, and I was already tired from studying.

If there any way we could pre-order these?

Quote: Originally Posted by gopack87 Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do you guys think the D4 could power the likes of Beyerdynamics or maybe the Denon Ahd2000's? I am using my D4 with my hd650s without power issues. It's certainly not an infinite-headroom type situation...

I must have spelled something incorrectly

I'm in the final stages of gathering parts to re-cable my sennheiser hd650s. Today my cardas sennheiser plugs arrived, and I'm sort of at a loss. I guess I was expecting to see something more like a mini jack or something. What is the proper way of soldering the wires to these plugs? I was...
