Mogami cable for HD650 - W2534 or W2549
Actually it will be shorter than 200 centimeters. But you're right, it doesn't matter. I've already found the answer. -
Mogami cable for HD650 - W2534 or W2549
I will build a new cable for the HD650 and I'd like to try a Mogami cable. I am thinking about the W2534 (Quad) and the W2549 (Dual). With the W2549 I would use two cables, one for each channel. The cable will be terminated with a 4 pin XLR connector and used with balanced and SE gear. I am...- Von Soundcard

HD650 earpads - do they have a shelf life ?
Regarding my question, it only refers to new, unworn, unopened and sealed pads. I would like to know if these velour pads have a SHELF LIFE, meaning if the material starts to age and lose its properties WHILE ON THE SHELF, after 2-3 years.- Von Soundcard

HD650 earpads - do they have a shelf life ?
I found a pair of new (sealed) earpads for my 650 at a local store. Thing is they are over a year old, could have 2 or even 3 years since manufactured. So to all who've ordered these: do this type of "velour" pads have a shelf life, that is after a time do they start to "age", does the material...- Von Soundcard

Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread
Hi, I wanted to order some parts from you (wire etc.). What's the best way to contact you for that, mail ? How do you take payments outside of Ebay ? Paypal, to an address ? Also if you could reply to the last email I've sent you.- Von Soundcard

I am also interested in thicker wire (smaller AWG) for DIY, either OCC Copper (Scorpion ?) or SP-OCC Copper (Viper ?). @Frank, when you have time, send me a PM in response to the one I wrote you last week.- Von Soundcard

Quote: So SPC are as bright or more than Silver ? This would also mean they have the same emphasis (or more) on highs as Silver ? I'm interested in this, maybe others who have had different types of cable / wire to compare can post their impressions.- Von Soundcard

How do Silver Plated Copper cables sound in comparison to simple Copper or Silver cables ? Are they right in the middle, closer to one than the other, or... ?- Von Soundcard

That is interesting. Not that I doubt it, but the DAC was operated using the KS or WASAPI driver modes in a player that recognises them (like foobar), right ? Just checking- Von Soundcard

Quote: What about Silver Plated Copper ? Anyone tried that for USB ? By the way, can you say what type of USB DAC did you try those aftermarket USB cables on ? I am interested if there are clear differences between cables on async DACs with dedicated drivers.- Von Soundcard

Audio-gd NFB-10
Thanks for the info. BTW I'm not sure if I'm reading this right: are the line preamp outputs on the 10.x the same as the DAC outputs ? That is does the volume also control the DAC outputs (RCA / XLR) ? If so is there an operating mode for "pure DAC" and one for "DAC + line preamp" or are...- Von Soundcard

Audio-gd NFB-10
Anyway, how good is the amp section on the NFB-10 ? Compared to other SS 100$ amps on the market... Little Dot I ? I have no idea what SS amps are competitive since I mostly have tube gear for headphones, but the idea is how good is the amp section on the NFB-10 for the money ?- Von Soundcard
