Yeah, I did some post-facto research and realized that. Seeing as the headphones still work without any noticeable issue I don't think I changed the DC-bias too much, but I've arranged for an engineer with a good multimeter to check everything out so that we can make sure the bias is correct...

Ha, I suppose you're (KDS315, Capetownwatches) right. I should just be patient. I'm going to stop messing with stuff now and just wait until I can do an A/B test and then either replace or have professionally repaired. Thanks for the help/advice anyway.

Thanks for the further advice, I've started tinkering a bit further. At the moment I don't have any soldering equipment or anything which which I can test the current/resistance on the circuitboard, but I did open it to check for anything obvious, and I did find one thing: I noticed that the...

Hi, thanks for the reply. Electrostats are quite rare in these parts, so I haven't been able to a/b die headset/energiser with another working set. I have made plans to do so in 'n few days however, then I'll know for sure which one it is. I have tested the source, cables, and everything...

Hi there, thank you very much for the advice. following your advice I removed the driver-housing from the headset and baseplate, and also opened the housing to inspect the driver itself (didn't open the driver itself), but I found that unlike in the example in the blog, it appears as if the...

Hi all, I hope this is the right place to post this (otherwise should I post a new thread?). I recently bought my first STAX set: SRS-2170, used. I'm not 100% sure whether this was like it from the start or whether it started later but after a few days of owning the set I noticed that it had a...

Thanks for the reply! I'm in South-Africa and hoping to buy used. Our market is very limited, I mentioned the 6xx because they show up from time and there is a R70x for sale at a reasonable price at the moment. But I'll keep an eye out for the GL2000, haven't really heard of it before. Regards

Hi there, I hope you're all well! I Am looking to upgrade from my Sennheiser HD595's. I've had them for about ten years now and I have really enjoyed them. I'm looking at something which is similar to the HD595's, but better. I Use them mostly of listening to classical, acoustic vocals etc...

Hi there! I Recently purchased a used Furutech ADL X1 and I was wondering how they compare to more modern, but usually cheaper counterparts. I Don't own any other kind of DAC/Amp to compare it with. According to the reviews it was 'n a pretty good portable back when it was released in 2014-ish...

Thanks, that does actually help a lot! I'm going to listen to the ADL X1/ Meze phones tomorrow, taking my HD598 as reference. Will let you know how they compared.

Hi all, new here. I Have a decision to make, and little first-hand knowledge to do it with. So any advice will be greatly appreciated. I'm currently shopping around our local used market-sphere for a new set of headphones. My priorities are: 1. Sound quality 2. See 1. 3. Noise isolation...
