I decided to repair a pair of beyerdyamic t51s a friend said was busted. I tried soldering on a new 3.5mm jack but still had no sound on one side.....trying to remove the drivers despite guides on this website is proving to be impossible. I've tried a knife, pressure to pop it out, and I'm...

I don't normally repair headphones but scored a good deal on A t5i on ebay with the usual broken solder joint issue most likely(no sound in right ear!).   The cord has a microphone attachment control thingy so replacing it with any old cable is a no go if I want that functionality.   While...

I have an old volkswoofer v-1b which was one of the first self powered subwoofers. I decided to recap it(works fine but 30+ years old so why not) and thought....have subwoofer amplifiers gotten much better? Is it worth just buying a newer Dayton plate amp with moar power....I know the vintage...

Scent based foods are even more laughable than audio for placebo effects.   Wine experts strike me as being worse than high end cable sellers IMO. Nobody would debate the difference between a high end drink of any other type in terms of quality such as beer or milk.....but only in wine do you...

Only if they look awesome

DIY win-win   Buy a decent pair of broken headphones off ebay and fix them!

Quote:   It's moreso the fact you want buy "improvements" like a new DAC and amp. Everybody is pointing out you should save your money and get something new in the $100-$150 range if you want "better".   The Koss ain't bad but your only $50-$100 away from "awesome" instead of "nice".

Save money and get better cans.   Those cans probaly wouldn't benefit much from an amp at all.   Your basically asking if racing tires and spoilers will "improve" your rusted out, 1992 Honda Civic.   Amps, DACs and cables(especially!!!) are very over-rated and exaggerated in audio; ...

So I had a few job interviews with a company that needs me to be the I.T. superman of nearly everything in 8 businesses including a call center.   I've messed around with VoIP for business  & fun purposes on a minor scale and know my way around audio codecs..but.... I never did the full...

Hmmm....   Would it be perfectly fine to combine those room acoustic panels with canvas art coverings?      Just how many panels would a small room need? You don't need to blanket the wall and ceilings like a studio....I hope.
