Thanks for all your clarification with this Tomb. Following your recommendations I've finished my Headphone DAC with 1200uf caps (as I happened to have some that I could salvage from an old mixer) and housed everything in a little extruded aluminium case from Hammond. I soldered my USB cable to...

  Tomb   Many thanks for the reply sir. You have set a few things straight in my head which is a big help. On your advice, I took delivery of some 75ohm resistors and will integrate them into the new cable I'm building. I do think I need to do some reading around this subject however as...

Following my order of a SkeletonDAC, I have a couple of questions for you guys if one of you could help?   I made my own IEM's with great success a few months ago and have been contemplating a DAC to complement them for a while. They are not difficult to drive and as such, I think that there...

Just pour in the material and rotate the mould until it gels. Easy!

To make my earmoulds I used a skin safe silicone for the makeup industry and injected it into my ears after inserting a foam plug I cut with a hole punch. Once these were done, I dipped them in wax and cast a negative mould using a 2 part silicone mould material. Using this mould I was then...

Following this thread inspired me to make my own IEM's about 6 months ago. The units shown below are version 1, containing a single BA driver taken from some UE phones.    The result was surprisingly AMAZING.I will never wear universals again.    All in, these probably cost me about £40...

Which mogami cable are you thinking of sir? I had a good look around but I only found a miniature mic cable that looked vaguely appropriate. I think it was the 2697. Any other suggestions? There is also a canford cable, 30-501 CANFORD MST CABLE that also looks suitable but I can't say I've built...

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well.    I've recently finished building some customs and am very pleased with the results.      I am using a stock headphone cable which has been doctored to suit and is doing an admirable job. It is starting to split near the jack and is is a...

Thanks John, that was a big help.

Can anyone tell me the diameter of the pins on these connectors as well as the distance between them? I'm hoping they're suitable for the IEM's I just made.   Thanks in advance guys.

Hey guys, I hope you're all well.   I'm wondering if anyone out there has a spare/broken SuperFi cable lying around at home? My earphones are dying on me and I am reluctant to spend £35 + shipping on a replacement cable if the 'phones themselves will not last much longer.    I'm pretty...

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well.   I'm currently building myself some custom moulded IEMs but am stuck at the last hurdle. I can't find a supplier for the tubing that is used to channel the sound from a BA driver down the ear canal. It seems to have numerous names and I have found...

Hullo everyone, I hope you're all well. I'm looking for a source for balanced armature drivers in the uk for a diy project. If worst comes to worst I can always canabalise some earphones but I'm hoping it might be cheaper to buy the drivers separately... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Knick

Hullo everyone, I hope you're all well. I'm on the look out for some acoustic tubing for my DIY earmould project and was wondering if anyone has any going spare or knows of a good supplier? I'd be very grateful for any help and advice you can offer. Nick

Interesting you say that Ethan as I have kinked ear canals too. Twas another reason why I was asking this question; I am considering custom sleeves but am not sure if they would fit into my ears properly and whether the resulting sound tube drilled in the silicone would ruin the sound from the...
