I upgraded the cable with nice Mogami wire....:beerchug:

I know I re-cabled both, but I seem to recall the 700 was more musical, more fun to listen but the 900 was a bit more refined. I would definitely try the 900 if I were in your position. Cheers! Doug

Hey...I'm interested in one of those cables.  Does he have a website to order from?

Ah...I see...as long as the cap leads are connected to the V+ and V- it doesn't matter if single or dual. Thanks!

Under no circumstances should anyone EVER send money to someone else via Paypal gift unless it is truly a gift.  To the OP...I hope you get your money back.

Nothing lately.  The audio equipment that I have found I enjoy, I discovered through experimentation....certainly not based on reviews and advice from the vast majority of folks here.  There are still a few good ones around but for the most part, this forum is made up of shills, trolls, and...

I had the A2s for a while and thought they were pretty decent until I heard a pair of budget passive speakers with a budget receiver...no contest...the A2s sounded like crap.  I tried positioning them all over my desk; bought Auralex foam to isolate them from my desk and even built stands for...

Where are you all buying your S08 to DIP8 adapters?  I had a source on Ebay but he hasn't had them in a while.  I have bought from Cimarron but they're expensive and I've had some bad luck recently with a couple of their dual S08 to DIP8 adapters.

I think I'll wait for a while before buying these headphones to see how they hold up physically.  I got burned years ago by VModa on the Vibes and still have a bad taste in my mouth.

I would follow UE's advice.  I tried this when I was modding a Lite Dac-Ah (to fit the huge leads on the Audience Caps) and had a hell of a time repairing the board and getting everything to work. 

I only smoke when I'm on fire.

Born in 1966 and got a 45 which is between Gen X and Millennial.  I thought I would end up between Baby Boomer and Gen X.

I went thru the Audioengine A2s and M-Audio AV40s before finally being satisfied with a separate amp and passive speakers.  I found a used NAD 40 watt receiver ($100) and a pair of Energy C100 speakers ($95) on Ebay and that was my first passive setup.  Since then, I have tried Advent, Polk...
