    SuperFi 5 EB damaged connector. Repair options or reshell?

    I have an old pair of SuperFi 5 EB's that have lived a good life. Original shells have seen better days but the biggest problem is that the female connector on one side has almost come off.  So much so that while I can plug in a cable, there's no way that it'll stay on there w/o ripping the...

    DURABLE 3.5 mm <-> 3.5 mm cable

    Took a look at some of the threads but most are concerned w/ audio quality, for my purpose, I need durable.   My kid's hard on his headphones, or the cables to be more exact.  So much so that I moved him to some Monoprice over the ears with the detachable cable.  Since January, he's on his 4th...

    Odd iBasso D10 problem

    I've noticed a problem w/ my D10 lately.  It's a few years old, out of warranty, BTW.   W/ the volume at zero, I can hear sound out of the right channel, but not the left.  As I turn up the volume, both channels increase in volume but it's obvious that one side is louder than the other.  I...

    Are UE tips interchangeable with RE0?

    I want to borrow a friend's RE0 but we'd prefer to keep our own tips. Will my UE Super.fi 5EB tips work on the RE0 and vice versa?

    D10 battery life using optical?

    I've been using the D10 w/ my Macbook at work. In the past few weeks, I've started to use optical more and more. Lately, it seems that if I use optical only, I see about 8 to 10 hours of battery life. Is this typical?

    Does a LOD cable need burn in?

    Note to moderators: If this thread goes off the deep end into flame war territory, you have my blessing to close and/or delete it. I have a simple question, does an iPod LOD cable need burn in? It was suggested by a friend that a new LOD cable needed 100 hours for burn in. From my limited...

    What are upgrades from the Leckerton UHA-3?

    I've had this for about 6 months and it's doing quite admirably w/ my Grado 325i's and Superfi 5EB's. I've got the upgrade itch for a USB DAC/AMP but not sure if I'm up for 2x the cost going to a Pico or RSA. I've seen the reviews on the iBasso D2 Boa but it's not cut and dry if there's a big...

    Grado 325i + LD I+ (with mods) = my perfect combo...for now

    A few weeks back, I posted that I had purchased some DT770-250's on a bored holiday break while surfing ebay. I tried it on my dedicated stereo setup but I wasn't really pleased with the sound. I tried to burn them a bit but still wasn't sold. My setup started like this: Ah! Njoe tube CD...

    Not sure if DT770-250's fit the bill

    OK, I blame danmagicman for taking me down the headphone rabbit hole. He posted his can addiction on the Axiom Audio boards. During the holiday break, I found myself looking at ebay for headphones and found a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770-250's for $100, only 2 weeks old. Just got them today. (In...

    Mod Sophia Baby for headphones?

    I have a lonely, unused Sophia Baby amp in my rack. (Moved on to ASL monoblocks for my monitors.) I've ran across some threads from other owners mentioning that they've used the stock speaker outputs with headphones. I have some Beyer Dynamic DT770's arriving soon. These are 250 ohm cans...

    Dedicated amp or use Sophia Baby with adapter

    Headphone newbie here. I have a spare Sophia Baby amp and was looking to repurpose it. I'm waiting on my first 'real' headphones, a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770's. For my iPod/Macbook, I use a pair of Super.fi EB5s which I like but don't sound well at all w/ my tube equipment. At present, I...

    Mod Sophia Baby for headphones?

    I have a lonely, unused Sophia Amp in my rack. (Moved on to ASL monoblocks for my monitors.) I've ran across some threads from other owners mentioning that they've used the stock speaker outputs with headphones. 1) Can someone point me to a thread on how to do this? 2) Would I have to pick...
