I'm looking for both advice and a cable recommendation. I'm thinking of getting a Gjallarhorn as a headphone amp. Mostly to play with but if it performs better than my Jotunheim 1 with my Drop HE-5XX (with Balanced XLR cable) I would replace the Jot since I no longer use the DAC in it (I have...

Well -  My AKG 712s are taking over for my open back headphones.   My problem is that they really annoy the wife when I'm gaming (since we're about 5' from each other in our office).     After I sell my 1840s and my t50rp mk3s I'll hopefully have about $400 to get a closed back set of...

Quick question for the community:   I just received a pair of AKG k712 Pro headphones, and I'd like to replace the earpads with my Shure 1540 Alacantra ones.   Is there anywhere to order a replacement retaining ring for these?   Thanks for any information

Of anywhere I can ask I feel it must be here.  Has anyone used the Can Opener with standard headphones off of a AudioSource Amp-100?  I'm wondering as if it is a proven product  so I can use my Magni elsewhere in the house and save myself the cost difference between the C.O. and an Asgard 2 /...

First off:  Greetings All!  First Post!   Now on to business.  I'm new to the world of high end audio.  I currently have a pair of JVC HA-RX900 cans that I listen to occasionally, but since I enjoy gaming I use my speakers more as the headphones get tiresome after awhile.  I'm currently...
