Now no teasing. Can u share the instruction book?

I got my Modi/Magni combo with the PYST cables.  I imagine I could break out the soldering iron and make them for a little cheaper, but once you get thru buying good RCA ends and a bit of cable, I think you would be only saving a few dollars.   As for sound.  I've never used any other cables...

Got my Magni/Modi yesterday in the mail.  Mostly based on comments here (I trust this site - seems to have the most folks who know headphones).  And I've been to a head-fi meet and was VERY impressed with the folks there.   Anyway, I probably will give a better review once I've spent more time...

I'm in. Enjoyed the last one, but must admit I was intimidated - so much nice gear and smart guys. But I love the music, so I'll come and learn.

Driver hitting someting vs. amp distorting? A good question and I have only heard a similar sound when a bass reflex sub did something similar when a source pushed some really low notes and the system was being run at pretty high volume. In that case it was obvious what happened. In this case, I...

armaegis By "Bottom' I mean the diaphram (cone) excursion was exceeded due to high amplitude low frequencies and it struck some internal part of the driver. Think of it like if your base reflex subwoofer's code was over driven. Many amplifiers/preamps include a low frequency cut off to avoid...

Been holding off offering a "review" as I'm not too good at flowery reviewer-speak.   Anyway, I have the H118's and GT-40 and like them a lot.  I listen to a lot of hi-rez internet and ripped music (320bit).   Many reviews use the work "neutral".  Yep, that is a good description.  Can...

So my energizer's internals are very different from the pic Olaf provided above.  See picture.     As you can see I rigged up a power cord and tried the phones. Still a near 100% imbalance with 95+% in the right ear.  And very distorted.   So i opened it up to begin looking for faults...

Thanks Olaf!!  It almost seems no one knows much about these cans.  I started a general restore thread here http://www.head-fi.org/t/670426/koss-esp-9-e-9-energizer-restore but no one has responded.  Ideally, I'd like to move this discussion to that thread, as I think this one is mis-labeled and...

Thanks Olaf for your very good energizer pics and explanation.  Perfect.   How do I remove the pads?  I have tried what looked obvious and looked at pics all over the web.  But mine seem to be on there really well or I just haven't figured out the trick.   And there even appears to be...

I recently got some of the above phones off Craigslist. Got a pretty good price as they have problems. The original ower died and his sister was selling off his stuff. Needless to say, any problems I will find could range from simple to fatal. Who knows. I will try to document the restoration...

Hey Joe. I was looking to meet you at the fest. We've talked before about console pulls (not on head-fi) and I saw you were going to be there. Guess I missed you. Next time...

So I think I see my game plan coming together. But 100% of the times people say to clean out the rotting foam from the ear cups, so that should be my first step. So how do I disassemble the cups?? I think I read somewhere I may have to remove the pads. I really don't want to as they're in ok...

OK!! the ESP-9 + E/9 Energizer arrived today along with a Stax SRD-7.   The previous owner did some testing, but I not elaborate, so I'm hoping she just didn't let the phones change up using the Self Energized mode or maybe simply tried it on the AC energized mode. So I will try to get them...

Thanks. So if she ddidn't hear something does that imply no problem? And how can I diagose the problem that may have resulted?
