Thanks, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.  Actually, the main cable is the same (1/8") Techflex in black.  It is just stretched out more so the red cable shows through.  The design was inspired by my Zu Mobeus cable for my Senn HD600 I bought quite a few years ago.  I didn't feel like...

My first headphone cable.      Canare L-4E6S Star-Quad (Red) Techflex 1/8" sleeving (red & black) ViaBlue T6s 1/4" Extra connectors supplied with HE-500s 

After investing a lot of time and money into headphones and amps I thought I was through with spending $ on my hobbies..... until.....     My new Sinn 875 UTC

About to take my watch passion to the next level.  I currently own a Citizen (Skyhawk, Nighthawk & Navisail) a nice Rado and a couple cheapies.  I would like a Military/Pilot style w/ an automatic swiss movement.  My two current favorites are the Victorinox Airboss Mach 6 (in black) and the Sinn...

Thanks! That's what I was looking for. This just reminds me how much I hate DRM.

I have been building and maintaining PCs as a hobby for 25 years. I have avoided iPods because I do not like buying something and having the seller still have control over what I bought through DRM. However my daughter has an iPod and I need to re-install the OS on her PC (that has iTunes on...

We had one touch down last night briefly a couple miles away. The sirens were going at 2:30 AM. I've seen plenty of cloud rotations since I moved out here but no actual tornado ( and I'm ok with that ). Where in Chicagoland? (My home town)

How long have you had them? The warranty from Etymotic is 2 years. I had a crack on my 4S's and had them replaced free of charge (under warranty). I have even heard that some have had repairs done for free even after the warranty period. It wouldn't hurt to give them a call. Good Luck

I replaced the cap last night and it works! Unfortunately the 75V rating is going to bother me till the end of time unless I replace it. So I guess I'll shop around and get a proper one soon. Thanks to all for the advice.

I forgot to mention that I do have the service manual w/ schematics. If I remember correctly, according to the schematic each side of the ps secondary saw 63V. 75V is over that but is it enough of a safety margin? Anyway, I just got back w/ a pair for $8 each so I'll give it a shot.

This isn't exactly headphone related but it is audio related... I have a Carver C500 amp that recently stopped working. The main line fuse is blown and one of the secondary ps fuses has blown. I have minimal troubleshooting skills but I have learned a few things building various head amps...

I picked up an Alien DAC board a while ago but haven't felt the urge to build it yet. I got it for the same reason as you. I'm tired of all the noise being picked up by my soundcard. Alternately, for less than $100 you could probably pick up an Entech Number Cruncher 203.2 DAC on Ebay. I have...
