I'm in Madison, although I don't have that great of gear to contribute... SR60i's, HD 555, a few others. Got a Magni amp.

I just got my Magni in the mail. I also have a FiiO E10- is it possible for me to connect these two, or does the fact that the E10 is a DAC+amp make them incompatible? Also, is there any way that I can use the Magni on its own, or will I have to get a Modi /other standalone DAC to use it?

With a FiiO E10 and Grado SR60's + Sennheiser HD555's currently, would a Magni offer me much noticeable improvement? Should I get that alone, or also a Modi, or neither given my two pairs of headphones?

Whew. I got it working again! Thanks for all of the help, GREQ  On my first attempt this morning, the plastic sleeve got caught somewhere after I finished soldering and was putting it together, and I pulled too hard trying to get the cover completely on and the connection points snapped. So I...

Sorry for the delay in responding, I was gone for Thanksgiving. Speaking of thanks- I definitely appreciate all of your help, GREQ :)    Here is where I am at now: http://i.imgur.com/N3bUU.jpg   The red and white wires are at 0.95 cm, and the blue are at 0.9 cm, I think that they are...

OK, I just got the new jack in the mail and I have no idea what to do. My roommate's got a soldering iron.   Here's the new jack: http://imgur.com/PIyCI.jpg   Here is the old one with the broken tip: http://imgur.com/AK0Tn.jpg   Does anyone have a good step by step resource on...

Quote: Awesome, thanks :) I do not have any experience with repairs, do you have any resources that you could recommend? I think the cost would be $25 + shipping if i ended up sending them to Grado. So not too terrible, but given the original price of the headphones not cheap either.

Hi, I've had a pair of SR60i's for about two years and love them. Recently, though, the tip came off the jack. I tried glueing it back on with a small dab of superglue, but the left earpiece seems to cut in and out based on the rotation of the jack now. I don't think soldering would be an option...
