As long as the date is set somewhat far in advance I should be able to attend any of these dates.

I am in Gilbert but would be willing to drive to a meetup. I went to CanJam in LA and it was amazing. I will bookmark this thread.

Quote: If this was my only pair of cans I wouldn't be devastated. For the music I listen to I do like the new sound, it isn't as "good" as previously, but it is a whole new sound. As I said before I think they sound a lot like Grados. After listening to them a friend commented on how they...

That is precisely what I am hearing. Less punchy bass and a lot less low midrange.

I left the ones surrounding the drivers in to help protect them. I'm really starting to like the new sound with rock. I didn't see any structural purpose for them other than to prevent dust maybe, but they definitely had a purpose from an audio standpoint. I'm liking them a lot so far. I am...

It seems to be glued to the plastic frame, and when removed it would allow a completely open headphone. This mod would be irreversible, so i need to know if this is a bad idea. I...

Hi guys I could really use some help finding a replacement potentiometer for my PCB board Starving Student. The one that I previously had fit right into the PCB that was sold at Beezar. I would love to replace it with another that will fit right it. Thanks :)

Oops, sorry for the double post. How do I delete?

After buying my parts, most of which are from the original design, I began skimming through this thread. After seeing all of the "improvements" people have made to the amp (different caps, etc...) I am wondering if I should worry about my purchase. Are there any flaws in the original design that...

I also voted yes thinking this would be a comparison of 128 vs 256 or something. Sorry guys. And I can not here a difference with 555's.

This is a pretty interesting idea. It would at least beat most onboard sound.
