Firstly I would just like to mention that this review is based purely on my personal option, and my amp roster has not been so large (d2-boa, maverick d1, and the ckkiii). So please take it with a grain of salt.   Source used: Denon DCD815 -> Audio-gd dac19mk3 (coax) -> Sheer Audio...

Hi all, im about to trade for a pair of hd650s, and im just wondering if there a way to tell the difference between the old ones and the new once by serial numbers. the one im buying is at 49xxx. from pictures it looks kinda silver from the grill side but that might be due to flash from the...

ok guys, im thinking of upgrading my source. should i 1) opamp roll for my maverick tube magic D1 and keep it? or 2) should i sell the maverick and buy a new dac (if this is the case the price should be about 300 bux) i dont really need the amp portion as im thinking of buying a WA6...

After surfing a bit around on craigs and kijiji i notice that there are a lot of people selling unsealed "new" iphones. if you are thinking of buying an iphone from these guys it is fairly important that you ask for the serial number. why? because these unsealed "new" iPhone could be refurb from...

Hey guys, i recently did a recable on my sr60s. the cabling went though fine, but i think i might have messed up the left and right channels and reverse the + and ground wire. the headphones sound a bit off, so i was wonding if there is a way to tell the + from the Ground solder on the drivers...

Soo, I'm looking to upgrade my setup, I'm thinking about the rs1but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask befor I pull the trigger. I'm currently using laptop -> tube magic d1 dac + tube preamp->ckkiii -> akg k701s. What do you guys think, should I go for the rs1s or do you think I can squeeze more...

Hey all, been getting a tad of hissing from the CKKIII, did some research on the forums and the fix is to add a resister to it, i prefer not to open it up, is there another option? would a power conditioner/filter help the cause? thanks!

hey all, trying to re cable my grados to make it a little more portable. i just bought some 26 awg cables in assorted colors, i would assume i would need some techflex in 1/4 inch (do they come in an even smaller size?), a 3.5mm plug, Y plug, and some heat shrink is there a nice guide on how...

Hi all im very new to this DIY business, but im looking for an amp to pair with my k701s. i got my eye set on the CKKIII and i got a friend who is willing to build it for me if i got the parts. The problem is, AMB only offers the main parts, and everything else i have to scout for. is there a...

Hey guys, i was thinking of getting another amp to power the AKGs, now i heard tube amp does wonders with them, but the D1 has a tube preamp, i could: buy a nice SS amp and use the tube preamp or buy a nice tube amp and the d1 without tube out or should i just not buy the amp all...
