Reduce Bass on Open-Back? How?
I know this is probably a rare question, but how would one go about reducing bass on a set of open backs? I know on closed backs you just start sealing up ports, but an open.....- treys1

Some "DIY" Open Backs
Similar to my closed backs that I am working on, got a set of opens put together today. I'm actually pretty happy with the tuning on these right now, but haven't metered them yet, just listening so far! 100mm Rosewood cups. 50mm Wool / Carbon Drivers OpenHeart Cable Angled Sheepskin Pads I've...- treys1

Some "DIY" Closed Backs
Well, I know it's not as DIY as some of the projects here, but I ordered a bunch of stull off AliExpress to play with and this is the first set I focused on. I've got under $200 bucks in them with the cable & pads, and they sound pretty freaking good so far! Still playing with the tuning a bit...- treys1

ZMF - Aeolus vs. Auteur Classic
Never had any open backs, so not going to spend a bajillion dollars on any until I get a feel for them. So, between those two, thoughts? Music is Alternative, Classic Rock & EDM mostly. I have no shame in saying that it seems I prefer a V-Shaped sound, but not to the extreme. I put an emphasis...- treys1

Not looking...- treys1

Little Schiit Stacks
I'm running a couple Schiit stacks (Loki Mini + / Vali 2++ & Modi+ / Loki Mini + / Vali 2++) and with the headphones I have, there is no issue what-so-ever driving them, with most music never getting above 10-12 o'clock on the knob before worrying about damaging my hearing. So the question and...- treys1

Headphone n00b Looking For Opinions
Background: I am new to head-fi, but not to hi-fi. I have spent MANY hours with an RTA, reference tracks and dials on EQs to get mobile audio systems just right for car SQ comps. That said, I jumped into this part of the hobby recently and I am running Modi / Loki / Vali stacks (Modi @ my cabin...- treys1

New to head-fi & jumping in!
Hello, new here. I'm 45 and have been into audio most of my life with a reoccurring emphasis on car audio (SQ comps) over the years. But lately my automotive hobby has been off roading so not much room for SQ there... All of that said, I realized hi-fi has been missing from my life for a while...- treys1
