    Question about cable endurance and quality

    I bought the ATH-D700X a few years back. I noticed the cable is cracking everywhere. The cracks are so bad it's like a knife went through them; the wire inside is fine. When I repair them with heat shrink more keep showing up. I think it happens when the cable starts to twist a lot. But it's...

    Fixing headphone cable

    I was able to do it successfully. My first try wasn't that good, but it worked heh. My next question is can you also repair some IEM headphone cables? I have one that is not detachable and it uses a Y connector in the middle, if you know what I mean. Can I buy something to repair the Y...

    Fixing headphone cable

    Thank you so much. Your answer exceeded my expectations. I did a little research and you gave me additional info I didn't know about. I actually just bought DMM 2 days ago for my own reasons, and I know how to solder. Should I get those soldering clamps that people use? Or is it possible to do...

    Fixing headphone cable

    Hello Head-fi community! My headphone jack got bent. I tried to bend it back in place and the bottom ring (the ring closes to the cable and furthest from the tip of the jack) fell off. I'm using the audio technica ath-ad700x. IIRC the right side of my headphones will sometimes lose sound...

    Need advice on what to get to power AKG K7XX

    I recently purchased the AKG K7XX.    Are there any amps you guys can recommend for me that are specifically on massdrop. I'm trying to save money. I would prefer a non-tube amp, but if you see one really worth getting, then I will consider it. I was told to try to get a Schiit Magni and the...

    Quote: Took me all day yesterday trying to figure out how to install and use ALchemy. The only way I could successfully install it was using the cd that came with my titanium HD. The latest version came out 2 months ago i think. I can't install that because I keep getting that weird error...

    The Nameless Guide To PC Gaming Audio (with binaural headphone surround sound)

    I recently discovered this thread. If I were to use a desktop amp such as the magni or fiio e9k, then is the section, "Method for using sound card as DSP to output to any audio device," exactly what I should follow if I were to use the optical out on my titanium HD?
