Quote: Sorry that it has taken me so long to reply.  It took me a while to work on them and figure out what I could do better.  It turns out that the screw holes were slightly stripped, and even though the cups were sealed with silicon around the rims, the screws not tightening the baffle...

Long time lurker, not sure that I've posted in this thread before.   I have run into a bit of a problem with my mod, and I am wondering if I could get some advice.    Without getting into all the details, I have clay in the inside baffle, silverstone lining both sides of the inside of...

Listening to ODAC + ESP-950 right now.  If you are looking for a USB DAC to use, ODAC is an easy recommendation.  It is very inexpensive, has great published measurements, and it sounds great.  Makes for a neat, small system to have the ODAC stacked on the E90 amp.     Give it a try if you...

Back to the question the original poster asked.  Here are extensive measurements of the DACMagic.  Here are the specifications from the manufacturer.  I haven't seen any measurements of the Bifrost, and their product page does not have many specifications or measurements posted.  Are there any...

I would like to be added to the list as well.  Thank you so much for organizing this!  I was able to attend the last one in 2006? and had a great time.     Best, Aaron.

Resurrecting an old thread here.  I am interested in finding a copy of Rockbox that was compiled to work with the line out.  I think I could compile it myself, but it would take me hours to figure it out, and I really only need it for this one application.  Would you be willing to share your...

I did a search and didn't find anyone else had mentioned this, but perhaps it is old and has already been done.  I got a pair of 840 pads a few weeks ago. I didn't like the way they looked with the white string around the edge, or the way that they fitted when stretched around the outside of the...

That's great news!  I've been wading through the ortho threads and have found suggestions, but no real definitive answer.  Closest was an older post with measurements of the stock T50RP's very flat, much flatter than in the innerfidelity reviews. Of course, who knows if the measurements were as...

There must be a follow the directions answer, certainly each person shouldn't independently damp the phones and then listen to test.  Have you seen the innerfidelity review of ontherivet's Smeggy Thunderpants?  The measurements were superb.  Then there was at least one other modded T50RP that...

Thanks to everyone for replying.  I decided to go through with the repair.  I hadn't thought about the possibility of trading them if I decide I want something else, that was very good advice.   I'm getting the work done by Richard Land at Land Audio.  He worked for AKG's service center...

Does Smeggy's kit come with the damping material and instructions as well?  There are so many options, and it would be nice to know what mods were done to the Thunderpants that were measured by Tyll on innerfidelity.  I have a pair of T50RP's on the way (I hope), and would be interested in...

I realize that only I can really figure out if it is worth it for me to get my broken drivers in my K1000's replaced, but I thought I'd ask to see what people think.   I have a pair of K1000's that have two blown drivers.  I have been broken for a few years, and sat in the box all that time...

So is this thread only based on the "prepare for hugs" comment on Facebook?  I wouldn't expect the harmon owned AKG to even know what the K1000s are.  I sent mine in for repair, and the tech (using the term loosely) who worked on them was completely befuddled by them, didn't understand how to...

I don't think this is the right forum on headfi to ask this question, the moderator might move this post.  You might get more responses, and definitely be able to do some in depth reading and searching at AudioAsylum.     Two of the most important factors involved when selecting a speaker...

I haven't listened to any of their stuff, but the Schiit products look fantastic for the money.  Given their design principles, the pedigree of their designers, and the 15 day money back guarantee, I think they might be worth trying.  A DIY amp would cost about as much to build as what they...
