    Buying Earpads, where to look?

    I recently bought some earpads from amazon and there is quite a vast selection even when staying in a given brand/model. Most are Chinese copies. Many of them had diagrams with measurements available(similar to your diagram). I guess you will need to randomly look into many of them until you...

    Replacement for W01G bridge rectifier in AMB Sigma25 design

    Hi MisterX and thank you for your reply.   About the snubber caps, I do not know where I should use them in this situation. Should I add them as parts of the bridge rectifier or replace some of the regular capacitors in the circuit by them ? Also, what values would be appropriate ?   thanks...

    Replacement for W01G bridge rectifier in AMB Sigma25 design

    Hi all,   Let me start by saying that I am a complete beginner at DIY audio...   I am in the process to start building the Sigma25 regulated power supply in it's 24V version for a load of 0.5A on a breadboard. Being from far up north where we pay in Canadian pesos, I get ripped off solidly...

    Fiio E10K vs. Audioengine D1

    I'm wondering the same thing...Will I hear a significant difference with the D1 that is almost double the price of the E10k when used only with headphones ? In my case it's with Beyers dt-250 (250 Ohm version)

    Softskin or leather earpads for Beyerdynamic dt-250

    Hi everyone,   I purchased the dt-250 and they came with the velour earpad. I would like to order the softskins ones for improved ambient noise isolation at work. It seems the Beyerdynamic website only offer replacement for the velour version (part num. EDT-250v).   Anybody has a link or...

    Back-Electret/STAX

    Just wanted to add some info about toshiba HR-810.   I scored a pair yesterday at a thrift store for 4$. The leather on the headband is worn out quite a bit and the earpads are a little "under inflated" if I can say...nothing abnormal for 30ish years old head-phones. Other than these issues...

    REVIEW: Audiotailor “Jade” Vacuum Tube Headphone Amplifier

    been listening to mine for over 2 months now, from a audigy2 zs and with the stock tubes. Even with those less than ideal factor, I find it sounds absolutely awesome. I installed the cage at first, but i removed it after a few days. I find it looks better without it. The cage that came with mine...

    REVIEW: Audiotailor “Jade” Vacuum Tube Headphone Amplifier

    @ Hz_joe, Is it OK if I listen using both output at the same time ? I sometime listen to music with my brother and being able to use both simultaneously would be very practical. I would use it with a 32ohm headphone in one and 250ohm in the other. thanks

    REVIEW: Audiotailor “Jade” Vacuum Tube Headphone Amplifier

    Anyone knows how to remove the rotary knob ? there is a little hole on it but i can't figure what I need to insert in it to remove. Not even sure that's the purpose of the little hole. Thanks.

    REVIEW: Audiotailor “Jade” Vacuum Tube Headphone Amplifier

    Can't wait to receive mine :/ It has been stuck at the Canadian customs for like 4 days now. So sad when you think it took barely 24h to get from Hong Kong to 500Km away from my home. I was considering the DT880/600 to go with it in a very near future. Will appreciate getting your opinion...
