Matrix M-Stage amp review: simple, cheap, and excellent.
Getting ready to change the opamps on mine. It could be helpful if someone detailed all the mods that could be made on this amp in one page or thread as have been done in the older days of head-fi. Anyone with the expertise willing to do that? Those new to the m-stage would forever be indebted...- qib

iBasso D6 "Fer-de-Lance" USB DAC/Amp
I understand that the pico is double the price of the ibasso but could someone please do a comparison. Either the pico or similarly priced dac/amps. Will be using this to drive the dt150 which is 250 ohms.- qib

AT ESW10jpn and Ultrasone HFI 780 Briefly Compared, modding notes on the HFI 780's
Hi aameford, i was wondering if you can mod this with the dynamat original sheets as well? Is it the same thing? I'm contemplating on buying these headphones and modding them myself rather than send it to ALO or S2. Lack of money forces me to go this route. Im hoping you've got pictures for the...- qib

iGrado or Goldring DR150
Quite different sounds in my opinion. I had both, when i got the dr150 i stopped listening to the igrados due to cable complications. When i put the dr150 up for sale i tried comparing both by recabling my igrados with mogami starquad and the difference between the headphones was quite huge...- qib

Is there a way to make Grados more comfortable?
can you lie down with grados or will it slip of your head? Do you have to sit upright? I'm asking because comfort is the only thing stopping me from getting grados.- qib

Thanks, since i dont really need the dac, how does the amp section compare to the p3 heron. Does it differ in amp circuitry. Or does the d10 simply sound better? This is for grados by the way.- qib
