Wow thanks for the great information and the pictures mean a thousand words!   And yes I just am not a huge fan of the plastic plug look. I don't need anything diamond/platinum/ruby coated, but something in black (what looks like glass) and just clean looking. I will do some additional...

@DJScope  @Kamakahah     Thanks both of you for the advice. I need to check my supplies (meant to last night but got busy) and see what all I purchased. I know I have a roll of nice solder. Not sure about solder wick (to remove excess solder), but I will pick some up. I guess a lot of solder...

Well over the years people have helped me and I ordered some supplies, yet it has sat there. After buying a home, getting settled in it, and working on my main hobby of photography, my Grado 325i cups are falling apart. So with changing out the cups my next to do list, I noticed I still have a...

So I have a few stupid questions. Thank you in advance to anyone who replies.    My 325i's are in need of some love. I purchased a ton of stuff about two years ago and never did anything with any of it. A very nice soldering iron, hands free clip thingy, tools, even an entire DIY amp or...

Yeah, I do not think there is too much maybe about it, in most cases I too would have quickly backed out. I tend to over think things, over talk/type, and throw it all out there at once. I will continue my own leg work and figuring things out. All things considered I am smart, work as an...

Last bump I guess. I will do more research to find an answer.   edit: yeah used the search function, there is a lot i can learn still, sorry for making posts a little early. did search but not as extensively as i should have. read about the wattage required for the speakers in question, what...

Not to be annoying, but maybe a bump?   Maybe this is the incorrect place or has been asked many times, please any advice on where to ask this and/or what specifically to search for would be appreciated, my searches turned up fairly futile.

Yeah I was referring to headphone cables. Also audio cables would be nice to make as well.   Yeah I forget to think about the size of the connection and the restraints it brings with it. Hmm ok yeah I was looking at some 5mm unbleached cotton sleeves but that may not work as I planned. Need...

So lots of opinions and arguments, but what is the general consensus, stranded or solid cored wire? About to purchase some sleeves and I have a lot of cable laying around. Will be building my amp and some cables in the coming weekends.   Also if I plan on buying some 5mm sleeves (1.5mm...

------Short Version------ Could/should a DIY headphone amp (b22, bijou, EHHA, etc) double as a pre-amp, amp, power amp, etc for a speaker rig, specifically Klipsch speakers? What do I need to technically look for to make these conclusions myself in knowing what will, will not work, should...

So I am bumping my old thread rather than starting a new one.   Beginning to (finally, have been out of town for 5 months) build my diy millet hybrid max and I have a few questions, I know still....I am sorry. Currently, I have my Technics 1210 running through my Marantz receiver and to...

nah i am going all out and will be bringing my music on cassettes...   yeah i will try and find my mini to rca and bring it. thanks for the heads up

btw as mentioned before I will be bringing my grado 225i's. it is the only thing i have to contribute but i just did not see it on the list in case someone was wanting to listen.   never been to one but should i burn a cd or can i just use my iphone since it has all my music on it? maybe i...

Well bummer I was hoping to listen to lcd-2's and hd800's, but no big deal congrats on the sell.       quietly wondering what amps runeight will be bringing. just realized this but for about the past year i always said it in my head as rune eight hahaha (even though I am interested in...

I think in most instances I will use cotton sleeves (ordered some just waiting), but in other cases what if I used no sleeve at all? You know as opposed to something clear?   And I keep forgetting to say it, but limpidglitch, thanks for the articles and links. Read through em all almost...
