So I re-rewired my DT880s today with CAT-5 cable. Much better than the generic parts express wire (I forget which kind) and techflex... still cool looking (translucent green cat5 cable) and MUCH lighter and more flexible... I love it. Except for the fact that I ruined one of the drivers...

A few questions for you... First: how does the wiring work when you terminate the cable with an XLR plug? I only have two lugs to solder to on my headphones' drivers. Therefore I have the phones terminated in two 1/4" mono jacks. (This allows me to drive the headphones as though they were...

I use a Headroom Little for most of my listening with my DT880s and really enjoy it. The volume is good (could be louder on some soft classical pieces, but good enough for everything else), and the sound is excellent. Very neutral and enjoyable, I would say. I recently re-wired my DT880s with...

You're not going to be able to make a PC the size of a mac mini for $500 (or even for $1000, I bet). Your best bet is to get a nice mac mini, install Linux on it, and run MythTV. If you want video capture (which is the point of a HTPC), you'll have to get a Firewire video in for the mac mini...

I noticed the other day that when I have SoundCheck (the volume normalization feature) on, loud sections of soft songs clip! Does anyone know of any way to avoid this? I have some loud songs that blow my ears out when they come up... (Maybe an AppleScript to look at the volume...
