    Tor Audio Headphone Amps.

    I've been using a Tor Audio Nick that I purchased 2nd hand for about 4 months now, and it's the best sounding amplifier I've ever used. My DAC is a Khadas Tone Board, and I use the Nick with either my Elex, or HD6XX, and it's an absolutely incredible setup. I wasn't much of a believer in tubes...

    CanJam NYC 2020 (February 15-16, 2020)

    Howdy all, this has probably been answered here already but I'm on the way there now, is there a bag check / coat check that we can use at the venue? Just so we don't have to stop at the hotel first

    Beyerdynamic DT-1770 Mod Thread

    You would want a 4 pin mini xlr that has a nut on the back of the jack, instead of the front. Unless you just wanted to hot glue the jack in, which would work also but may not last forever

    Outside of pizza, this is also very exciting. Looking forward to trying the HD820 if they have it there!

    My company used to order through Seamless for deliveries, so I'm assuming that they don't deliver

    CanJam NYC 2020 (February 15-16, 2020)

    I worked on 32nd for a while across from Penn, and for our monthly department meetings we got Suprema a lot. Can confirm, Suprema is the best pizza in NYC. Pricey though, expect around $6-$7 a slice!

    DIY Cable Gallery!!

    I recommend redco or markertek. Good prices on most things. Amphenol connectors are my favorite to use so far. Here's my favorite ones: https://www.redco.com/Amphenol-KS3PB-AU.html For wiring I've always stuck to my tried and true Mogami w2893...

    I'll be attending! This will be my first CanJam, or even headphone meetup for that matter! And to think, it's been just an hour away from my house this whole time

    Monolith M1060C Closed Back Planar Headphones impressions

    Well, I rewired the side with the ****ed up jack and it works, but when I went to test the other side, the driver blew :( no impedance reading between the + and - Does anyone know where I can get a replacement driver? Or maybe someone here has one they're not using that I could buy?

    Monolith M1060C Closed Back Planar Headphones impressions

    I just picked up a set of these on ebay for $50, listed as just "not working". I figured worst case I have spare parts. Turns out, the issue is that a 2.5mm jack broke off the tip inside of the 2.5mm female connection. It's really in there, I've tried using small watch repair tools to get it...

    The Official Beyerdynamic T1 Impressions and Discussion Thread

    I haven't done the mod yet. I'll be using TRS female jacks in the mod, so I was thinking of wiring them like this - Tip = Channel+, Ring = shield, Sleeve = Channel-, so that way I can use my already-built dual TRS 3.5mm (which is only wired on Tip and Sleeve) to 4 pin XLR cable, and then can...

    Thanks so much. I actually am using TRS females, but the cable I'll be using is 4 pin xlr at the amp anyway, so I'd have to wire and specifically make a cable for them. I'll try it without the shield first and see how it goes.

    The Official Beyerdynamic T1 Impressions and Discussion Thread

    I'm looking to mod my T1 Gen 1 to have dual detachable cables. I opened them up and found this: https://i.imgur.com/ns17p7c.jpg It appears that there's a bare copper wire that runs all the way down to the sleeve on the TRS, along with the negative connection (brown in this picture). Does...
