I don't have a stock LCD2/3 cable handy, and I wanted to check if the XLR connectors at the headphones are 3 pin or 4 pin? And what is the layout? Thanks, Mike- mike1127

type of digital cable used to connect transport to DAC
For those using a separate transport and DAC with their computer, and therefore the need to route a S/PDIF cable between them, I would like to know what kind you are using and what you feel is best? The types I'm thinking of are optical coaxial (RCA connectors) coaxial (XLR)...- mike1127

CD cleaning question, cuz you DIY guys are smart
This isn't quite a DIY question-- but you guys know a lot about physical properties of materials, so I thought I'd ask here. Is it safe to clean a CD-R with alcohol? I'm experimenting with cleaning them before burning them. I think I remember being told there is a "mold-release" compound...- mike1127

imaging: Hifiman orthos versus K1000
I used to own a K1000 and I remember that it had superb "outside the head" imaging. I sold it a while back. I just picked up a Hifiman HE-500 and I'm impressed with the imaging, and it does get "outside the head" and feel "open" almost to the degree the K1000 did, but it's been a while since I...- mike1127

Hifiman HE-500 versus Sennheiser HD650
How about a comparison of the HD650 and the HE-500? These two cans are close in price, especially once you consider fancy recables.I will soon have both at my home and will try to rapidly burn-in and listen. I will also have upgrade cables (Cardas) for both. Currently I use the LCD2. I'm a...- mike1127

how do quality pots behave at the low end?
I need to replace the potentiometer (volume control) in my Hifiman EF5 and I'm going to upgrade it and move it into a separate box as there is no room in the main box for anything larger than miniscule. One issue is that I prefer the sound in the high gain setting but I use a fairly...- mike1127

anyone worked on a Hifiman EF5?
Has anyone here delved into the interior of a Hifiman EF5? I am planning to replace the pot and I want to know what pot value to order so I can do that ahead of shipping the EF5 to my tech guy. Mike EDIT: I'd like to add a question about choosing the pot, in particular a stepped...- mike1127

cryogenically treating tubes

Audeze vs. Hifiman Orthos with respect to lisening taste
Here is an admittedly crude poll, a start. But it might get some thinking going, and might lead to more interesting future polls. MULTIPLE ANSWERS ARE PERMITTED, it's easy to imagine someone fitting in multiple categories... so you can say something like "I'm acostic with the Audeze and...- mike1127

suggest jazz CDs with well-recorded percussion
I'm not too into jazz improv (I'm a classical-adapted listener who likes phrases to be perfectly balanced and shaped as only pre-planned composition can do) but I like good percussion playing, and jazz kit sounds really good on my headphone system. I'm wondering if I can get suggestions for jazz... -

the way I analyze audio performance
I have a way of looking at things .. my sixth sense guides me to building and modifying a system that is as accurate as I can get it. There are engineers who disagree, and that's fine.
