Nope, it's (unfortunately) not a bad cable, my friend. But don't worry, it's completely normal.   Because the amp is connected directly to your PC, internal case noise will also be heard (transported along cable). That's one of the things a USB DAC avoids. It doesn't connect through the...

Ah, the USB DAC function only works with the E7 docked in it.   If you are using it purely as an amplifier, then you will want to connect a M/M 3.5mm cable to your audio out on the back of your PC (I believe either the green or black 3.5mm plug, the same place that your plug in your...

You connect your headphones to the front of the E9. The RCA and other outputs are for if you are connecting it to another amplifier. The computer connects through the USB port.   You don't need any cables.

Saw a guy putting on some Ultrasone Pro 900s at the Buffalo (NY) airport. I went to my concourse, which was about 100 feet away from where i saw him, to put my stuff down. When I walked back to where I saw him, to talk to him, I couldn't find him again :(

I can't seem to find the guides for the mods. Could you direct me to where they are?   Thanks, Duheee

Hello again,   I just bought many of the parts for the mods to this amp from mouser and now have a few more questions (sorry, kind of a noob here). First, how do I measure the bias on the trim pots so that I can adjust it accordingly? Second, how do I cut the traces for the crosstalk...

I told him about my M50s because we were on the subject of headphones, not because i thought they were better or because i wanted him to get them. I was simply telling him what i owned.   I HIGHLY doubt the kids at my school would have liked anything even somewhat distant from mainstream...

Saw some Pioneer HDJ 2000s on the DJ at my school dance; They were pretty beat up. I went up to him after the dance and told him about my ATH-M50s and he was decent enough to know that they are "supposed to be good for audio production". Overall a pretty nice DJ although i hated just about every...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujmeEfnLfoQ   The drummer is wearing some type of Sennheiser i believe. I have no idea what the DJ is wearing. Can anyone identify these 'phones?   Great song, pretty stupid video.  

Saw some HD800s while browsing the 3DS forums. What a coincidence.   It has a picture of his amp too. Lehmann audio Black cube? I'm not very familiar with amps.   Here is the link   The pictures of the HD800s and amp is about half way down the page.

The xb500s are only $33 refurbished at Geeks.com.   Sure you don't want to get a pre-paid credit card?   http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=MDR-XB500-FB-R&cpc=SCH

Quote: Yep, just give the store what you want to put into the card as cash. No, you don't have to be 18; I believe you have to be over the age of 13 though.  

You can use a temporary credit card to buy from any websites that accepts credit cards. You can even attach a name and address to use it on ebay and paypal. You can get these at walgreens, Walmart, or pretty much any place where gift cards are sold. I usually get the American express temporary...
