Parts I need to build Buffalo II with attenuator
Sorry if this has been asked a million times, I just don't feel like doing the research. I want to get the cheapest case possible. I assume I will require a drill to drill holes for audio connection stuff. I want to use it with IEMs, so I want to get a analog attenuator. To maximize...- High_Q

Hissing on sensitive IEMs from different sources(DAPs, AMPs)
I have stated this question on another thread, but it has gotten locked, and hopefully I can get a good explanation this time. I'll try to be clearer with my question this time. I was curious why my tube amp(Elekit TU882) would cause hiss even at it's lowest impedance setting( 4-32ohm)...- High_Q

Similarities between HD800 and K70X
I can't help it but think both are similar. Both have roomy ear cup, and very bright sounding. HD800 doesn't seem to have much bass quantity either like K701. I don't currently have both to do a direct comparison. So far, I'm not very impressed with the 800. It could be my amp though, HD800...- High_Q

How come certain recordings sound better on full size than IEMs?
Some members swear that a good custom could match or sound better than a top full size cans such as HD650, 800... Although, IEMs have it's benefits, but I couldn't help but notice that for certain recordings, there is noticible difference in the presence of the sound. When I listen to Beatles...- High_Q

How is hissed caused on IEMs?
Didn't get much of a response on IEM section so I'm posting it here. I know, it has to do with impedance and sensitivity, but still don't have a clear idea of exactly what does on that cause that?

ER4 is the universal that get closest to Custom sound signature?
I've noticed this lately. My ER4P with triple flanges and it's deep insertion, and the isolation creates the similar sound to custom IEMs. Well at least to 1964-T as they are the only customs I've ever owned. What do you guys think?- High_Q

I like the acoustic sound when acoustic guitar string is picked. It's not a surprise one of my favorite album is Unplugged by Eric Clapton.

Will the sound be intact? Would it be tuned exactly how it created from JHA? Is that even possible? I noticed the JHA customs are being sold in the FS forum, but is it even worth it at a lower price? I would think that the sound sig would be lost if it get reshelled from a lab other than...- High_Q

how to get rid of annoying ringing sound on IEMs?
I've noticed with piano sounds, it sound like ringing or like echoing. Resonance? I have 1964-T customs and I hate when it happen, it messes up the music. Poorly tuned? I've noticed this with SM3, and got rid of it because of this. I don't think I can do anything with the customs to fix...- High_Q
