Quote: Is it possible to replace volume pots?

Thanks for the link to the Panda amp, didn't know about it, as far as I am reading it sounds great. Maybe Ill buy that, but do you need to be very good at soldering, I soldered once when I was about 6, and then last week when I had to fix the wiring inside my headphones.

I will buy I believe, just will have to decide if i buy the lovely cube,  or one of the other 2. Wondering if the cheaper one will sound a lot worse or not,and if I buy the cheaper one then I can get a better DAC latter on, something to think about for today.

I asked him about the capacitors.  After doing a bit more research it seems this amp is close to or is the same as this diy kit, link  ,  head-fi link. Or am I wrong?

Oh my ok, I cant read schematics really, but I see the difference is big    This guy sells another amp with better components, link,  for twice the price.

I might actually buy it, I don't have an amp yet, been looking for the past 3 months for something to power my akg k400, and almost bought a v-can or headbox mkII yesterday, but with some further reading I ended up not wasting/spending my money on it. Considering that it is almost the same...

Just stumbled on this on ebay. It states it is based on the Lehmann black cube linear. Has any one ordered one of these and have some impressions of this?

I am looking for my first amp to pair with my AKG k 400, I also don't want to spend that much money, so would the V-can be a better choice that the headbox or is there something else I should look at? 

Thanx for the replies guys, I'll have a try to fix them myself, although I am not really good with these things and soldering.  Wow it happened to you top Tieman, good to know I am not the only one.

I tried to replace the elastics, and while doing it, 2 of the wires came undone, the white wire and I assume the other one is the earth (it is black or brown). But the bigger problem is, that the white wire isnt connected to both sides any more, and the wire is now too short  . Can I replace...

Thats amazing, thanx for the information. So do I just post that i want this phone on the wanted forum section, and hope for a reply?

For how much do these phones go for lately. I see there are on ebay.de for about 30 euros but the seller wants cash and doesnt ship to other countries in Europe.

Makes sense that they would make a killing, and AKG to try and do the same. I havent seen these for sale on amazon or any other major online shop, but the local audio shop has them for sale at 103 euros.  No reviews on these, and I am very curious to how they are and to what one can compare...

AKG has a gaming headset now, called GHS1. I was wondering if these headphones are similar to any of the other AKG headphones.   Frequency range (Hz-kHz) - 18 Hz - 24 kHz Input impedance (ohms) - 32 Sensitivity (dB SPL/V) - 115 Max. input power (mW) -  35
