    UE TF10s have finally worn out... what next?

    Hi All, So I've been out of the headphone game for a fair while, since I settled on the Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10 Pro and Sennheiser HD580 for my listening setup. Unfortunately, the TF10s have worn out after putting in a valiant effort, with the cable terminal wearing out to the point where...

    Decision Time

    Hi All,   My Grado SR-60s are wearing out and I'm currently on the lookout for set to replace them as my main cans. I've been reading across the forums a fair bit, so I kind of have an idea of what I want, but I'm still totally confused. My current headphones include the SR-60s as well as a...

    VSonic GR07 MK2 vs UE TripleFi 10

    Takes a bit to get used to the fit of the TF10's, but once you do they are amazing IEMs.

    Millett "Starving Student" hybrid amp

    Hi All,   I've ordered all the parts to build my amp, and I've encountered a problem. The heatsinks I ordered, instead of using screws, use two pins. Upon further research, I've discovered that they are PCB-mount TO-220 heatsinks. Problem is, I'm using an ABS case. Is there any way to mount...

    Millett "Starving Student" hybrid amp

    Quote: I am using an ABS case. How exactly does this work?   Quote: I thought it was a tad expensive, especially for something as basic as a few screws and washers. Thanks for clarifying that. :)

    Millett "Starving Student" hybrid amp

    Could anyone tell me where to find a mounting kit for the MOSFET on the heatsink? I live in Australia, so I'll be using Farnell/Element14 to order. At the moment I've found the heatsink, but the accompanying mounting kit is $9.85. Seems a little steep considering the heatsink is around $5.  ...

    Millett "Starving Student" hybrid amp

    After a long while, I've hit the final stages of organising the build of my Starving Student. I've been watching this thread for a while, and I purchased some 19J6 tubes around a year and a half ago off a fellow Head-Fi'er, and I haven't had much time up until now to organise and build the...

    Millett "Starving Student" hybrid amp

    I haven't been on this thread in a long while, but I've finally got time to put a Starving Student together, but I've become stuck with a few things in planning. Firstly, I'm building a point-to-point 19J6-based Starving Student. I brought the tubes when I was suppose to build it last year, but...

    I would build one for you, but I'm in Australia.

    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

    I didn't like the Comply's either. It takes ages to get a good seal in your ear, and then once you do it removes all of the highs that make the UE's really good IEM's.

    Sansui SR-212?

    Hi All, Sorry if this sounds rushed but I don't have to much time left before my opportunity to get this ends. Is this a good turntable? I'm starting to build my Hi-Fi system, so what needs to go with this? A receiver and an amp I'm guessing, a preamp too? Is this a quality turntable (Sansui...
