    Home-Made IEMs

    I haven't checked in on this thread in quite a while, but there's some amazing stuff happening here! Kudos to everyone pushing the limits of DIY tech.

    Home-Made IEMs

    Haven't been keeping up with this thread, so maybe this has already been covered, but what I want to know is how you made those hollow shells!

    Home-Made IEMs

    I apologize for momentarily hijacking this thread but I have something to get off my chest. I had a run in with the Head-Fi police yesterday. As I stated in my previous post, I had been thinking for a while that it would be fun to make IEMs for other people on Head-Fi, not even for the purpose...

    Sonion BA driver small group buy?

    I'm going to order some Sonion balanced armature drivers from Colsan Micro which is in the UK (I'm in the US). I'm not sure what quantity would have to be ordered to get a discount, but the shipping will probably be enough that getting more people involved would be worth it. If anyone's...

    Home-Made IEMs

    OK, I got pricing info. The Sonion drivers are a lot less than the Knowles drivers, to my surprise. Since I have to have them shipped from the UK I thought I would ask anyone if they're interested in a small group by to save on shipping. Also, I know this is a DIY forum and all, but I'd be more...

    Home-Made IEMs

    Alright, I got an explanation about driving the tweeter half coil. I mean, I still don't really understand what "half coil" means, but this is how you do it: They sent me some other information that might be proprietary to Sonion so I don't want to post it, but with the two drivers they...

    All black two pair cable (for a headphone recable)

    You don't have to buy paired cable, it's pretty easy to make your own. Just take two stands of wire and twist them together. This is the Y joint of a headphone cable that I made with 30g wire.

    Are you talking about a domed hex nut? Could you post a photo?

    IEM resistor cable assistance/advice please?

    Dude, it's going to cost you all of $5 to make yourself an adapter. If you don't like the way it sounds you haven't really lost anything. And in my opinion there is no appreciable degredation to sound quality as long as you keep your resistor values reasonably low. Christ, some companies give...
