    Looking for new headphones

    Cool, theres a dealer for Equation Audio in my area, I'll have to try them out next time I'm around there. Seems new companies are also becoming suggested, last I came here the Eggo phones were being suggested to everyone.

    Looking for new headphones

    I want new headphones, I used to have Sony Eggo headphones and really loved them but them broke. So now I'm looking for a new pair in that price range (100$) I don't want too much bass, and I really hate it when headphones sound muddy. I've been using the graph at Products - HeadRoom - Right...

    ER-20 Earplugs

    Are they very noticable to other people while you are wearing them? I know there are a lot of people that live in Seattle on this site, do you know anywhere around I could go and buy them so I don't have to order them off of the internet?

    Amp for speaker

    I want to make an amp for a small speaker (about 3 inches) would a normal cmoy amp work? I was looking through the digi-key catalog for possible speakers that aren't too thick and have the full 20 to 20 frequency range and I found that the part P-10177 looks alright. I don't need audiophile...

    CMOY Troubleshooting Help

    I know sleeve is ground but which magical connector on the jack connects to the sleeve. I suppose I could find that by getting one of those things that plugs into the jack and ripping one end off and using that but I don't want to right now. Plus it seems like a large waste of money.

    CMOY Troubleshooting Help

    "If you don't already know how to hook up jacks and pots, you should read my How to Wire Panel Components article before proceeding." "I could put information about specific jacks here, but instead it's better to learn how to sound out the pinout of a jack yourself. That way you're not...

    CMOY Troubleshooting Help

    I got my CMOY amp to work tonight following the plans here but there is a rather loud hiss. With my sister's cheap headphones it's louder than with my 40ohm Sony MDR-66SL (Eggos). Is this simple hiss that can be cured by adding an R5 or is it oscillation? If it's oscillation how do I fix that...

    radioshack quarter to eighth inch splitter

    A lot of bad effect. I have a 15ft extension without the converter and it picks up an insane amount of interference. Right now I am working on making my own extension cable for my headphones from my thread: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showt...70#post1083370

    Shielded headphone extension cable

    Could someone help me out here? Westlake is obviously not helpful to the beginner. I found the star quad cable but I can't find male and female 1/4 audio jacks and if I could how would I know if the cable would fit into them? Could someone more experienced help me out with some links to products?

    Shielded headphone extension cable

    How would I go about making an Shielded headphone extension? This would be for my computer setup because my current Radioshack cable picks up an insane amount of interference on the run from my computer to headphones. It would have to be about 12 feet long.

    COMPARISON: Compression Settings & File Sizes (MP3, AAC, Ogg)

    Why would it take you that long? Rip them all to wav, or as many as your HD can hold at once then batch encode and tag them with http://www.lameb.fsnet.co.uk while you're asleep. It works perfectly if you just read up how to use it. LAME is your best choise right now, AAC is better but there...
