    South East Michigan meet?

    Thank you @givemetacos for arranging everything together for this event! It was great to see everyone and to discuss headphones in an environment where we can point out specific details about certain pairs and try them on here and now. I really enjoyed the comparison stations of the Stax series...

    Bottlehead Amplifier Discussion / Comparison Thread: Crack, SEX & Mainline

    Hey Guys, I have a pair of HD800 with a Schiit Lyr2. However I am thinking about getting a bottlehead amp to build as a hobby and as an upgrade to the Lyr2. Compared to the Lyr2 I would like more bass extension and soundstage. I am wondering what would be the best bottlehead amp to go. I've...

    Schiit Owners Unite

    So if I have a bifrost with an ak4399 bifrost, I should upgrade straight to multibit instead of making a stop at the ak4490 board?

    Schiit Owners Unite

    Based off of the bifrost's serial do you guys know which ones after will have the Uber Chip or the AK4490 chip? Also, if you upgrade to Bifrost Multibit does schiit ship you back your old ak4399 or ak4490 chip?

    Double Helix Cables Thread

    About how soon after you ordered did you get a shipping confirmation? So far my credit card has been charged but I haven't gotten any info and it's been more than a week. I thought the wires were "BACK IN STOCK. ORDER NOW FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT."

    Yikes, I should have checked here before placing my order. I ordered some wires on Nov 8th and they are still "processing".

    Home-Made IEMs

    Has anyone tried a build with a RAB either by itself or with a CL? Also, I'm wondering if you guys could show me how to use the previously suggested crossover calculator here: http://sim.okawa-denshi.jp/en/Fkeisan.htm I see that if you put in a resistance and capacitance in the calculator it...

    Do you guys know what the crossover setup is in a knowles GV? I was planning to use one as a driver for my ciem. Also, would you recommend adding a CL with a high ohm damper as a subbass driver? Or will that be too much bass? Thanks!

    Home-Made IEMs

    I have a question about phase. I understand that if you reverse the polarity on one BA, it can cause an electrical phase issue where one driver will cancel out audio from another driver. However, I'm reading up freqphase from JH audio and I don't really understand whats going on. According to...

    I do not have my player rooted. Can I use that with default firmware?

    Does anyone know a better way to sync music onto the player? I'm using the X-DAP Link software and I have no idea what songs I already have on the player.

    Home-Made IEMs

    Hmm, I should probably just work with an armature bundle then since their datasheets and whatnot are more available. Lots to learn :)

    Home-Made IEMs

    As a dentist and someone that has built model kits all my life, I don't think I will have too much trouble in the assembly and adjustment process. Not to mention I have good access to curing lights, curing resin, buffing wheels and the what have you. I was planning to get the kit from...

    Home-Made IEMs

    Has anyone tried reshelling iems? I understand the effects of dampers, resistors, and capacitors to change the sound of BA drivers but I don't think I'll have the time and patience to re-solder components and strip tubing from BAs over and over. I was considering reshelling TFZ Kings to make a...
