K 340 balance problem
I had the impression that something was not right with my for some time, today I tested it with a frequency generator, and behold, for example between 1100Hz and 1200Hz the balance wanders extremely between left and right (audigy2 platinum pro headphone out -> K340 (and I know it's not amped...- barkas

amp layout, modified sijosae AB, please check
Okay, it has become a PIMETA with discrete diamond buffers. So what. Only the power section for now, and the diamond buffer, I'm waiting for a bit of feedback for the amp, since L and R are probably very similar to VGROUND. first, the diamond buffer (note, I'll use BC3x7, not BC3x8, but...- barkas

Some CMOY problems
I built a pretty standard CMOY, first on breadboard, then I made my own PCB (a pretty nice one, too ) for it. OPA2132 and all the values in the schematic by tangent. I used 1% metal film resistors and matched them most carefully as well as my multimeter can, to 0.1% usually. So, now when I...- barkas

K340 - wow
I just received my AKG K340 (stock) . I can just say - wow. Unamped out of my audigy 2 (headphone out), these are without any doubt the best headphones I have ever heard (not that this is saying much), there are things in some songs I was never able to hear until now. I have to add, I came...- barkas

Searching for a decent headset
I'm using headphones a lot while at a computer, but I need a mic for voice communication, too. So I'm using a lowly plantronics headset.

Should I build a CMOY?
It's dirt cheap, the mobility is very good, and I'd find the built moderately interesting (having had a bit of electrotechnics at university, but no practice whatsoever). So, is it worth it with my 4G IPod and soon-to-come Super.fi 5. Pro?- barkas

SGI Octane2?
I realize this is a bit exotic, and probably noone here has heard one, but ... maybe ... It uses a custom chip called RAD1, which has a headphone output, and supports AES/SPDIF and 8 channel ADAT. Quote: Audio hardware is standard; even without extensions they can support...- barkas

UE Super.fi 5 Pro?
I have Shure e3cs and find them lacking in bass. So I consider upgrading to UE Superfi 5 Pros, only I read the user guide and saw the ear insertion pictures. Is it true they always protrude in this horrible way from your ears? Can some owner of them post a picture? And as alternative, would...- barkas
