    wikiphonia?

    I keep running into this site.  Does this site have any relations to Head-Fi?  If not, who runs this site?

    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...

    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)...

    When tubes are close to dying does it start distorting at lower volume?

    ?  What is a typical life of a tube?  I have 5670W tubes.

    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...

    HD800 distortion at low impedance setting?

    I have this amp:   http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/410886/elekit-tu-882-vacuum-tube-5670w-x-2-headphone-amp       Vacuum tube / 5670W×2 Rated output / 200mW(RL=6Ω or 32Ω or 600Ω) Output impedance / LOW 4~20Ω、MID 20~100Ω、HIGH 100~1kΩ Rate input / 400mV Input resistance /...

    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...

    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?  Anybody have a good long explaination of it based on scientific or engineering principles?  It is...

    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?

    What causes IEM hiss?

    I should ask this in science forum, but I put it here because it would get more exposure.  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?  Anybody have a good long explaination of it based on scientific or...

    What is your favorite musical instrument sound? Least favorite?

    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.  I'm not a huge fan of distortion(as a audiophile not a huge surprise).  I mean guitar distortion, to me it doesn't sound right.  My friend says, I like...

    How are Customs tuned? Any articles on this? Links?

    Just curious.  Any sources?  Thanks.

    JHA Custom reshell worth it?

    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...

    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 capacity High voltage battery charger as clean PS?

    Would that work as providing clean DC, while charging, would clean power be supplied from the battery?

    Still feel that SQ could get better?(Plateau?)

    I do, I feel like it could sound much better.  I've reached a plateau, but I know it can bet better, but I guess current tech doesn't allow it?

      Announcing Codename “c421″ Posted on May 7, 2011 by jseaber We’re past due on several announcements, but not due to a lack of content. In fact, we’ve been exceptionally busy this spring. After returning from Silicon Valley last week, I was thrilled to see a package from Advanced...

    Rockboxed imod SQ

    Is it me or does imod sound way better without the rockbox?  I assume its better because the software is done by Apple on Apple hardware.  To me, Ihear a difference and Rockbox doesn't sound so great.

    Poll: Electrical or Computer Engineer?

    I've noticed there a quite a few ECE here.  I don't know how much notice I would get  from posting here instead of DIY section.  If you are a ECE, can you state what level of education of have(BS, MS, PHD), state which school(if it isn't too personal) graduated from, what is your specialty in...

    High volume with low distortion

    Something I found interesting on HeadWize by Chu Moy:   Headphone systems for hard-of-hearing people must be able to reproduce sound at very high volume with low distortion (such as those used by musicians and audio engineers). Where appropriate, evaluate headphones with and without hearing...
