I accidentally plugged my 120v Asgard3 into a 240v outlet without the transformer. I had a tech look at it but he says he can't identify all the ICs that were damaged. Anyone have any idea which ones these are, if not have a copy of the schematic diagram? (And yes I will also email Schiit and...

Anyone know any IEM with sound close to Westone2 or Aurisonics ASG-1.3 but somewhere around $100? I can take a hit on sensitivity since I'll be using this on an AP80 and not my smartphone, so I've got 70mW at 32ohms (probably a bit less at 16ohms?) on tap. So probably 110dB/1mW is fine (W2's...

My Yoga 700 started disintegrating this year and looking to get a new one. The rubber-like plastic trim piece that wraps around the base/keyboard side and protrudes at the top started crumbling and then the top clamshell popped off the display. Cash is a little tight so I want to keep it...

I unsubscribed to a thread and nothing changed. I'm still seeing the thread with my avatar on it, it's highlighted when there's a new post, and I get alerts for it.

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-hifiman-he4xx-planar-magnetic-headphones Looks like the HE400. Nuts, I was debating getting the HE400i or the HE400S, and was hoping they'd do an HE400S in black for $200. But damn, for $170, I'm reevaluating what I'll get.

We're getting ads for those ridiculous products nobody wants. What the hell do they get out of all this when nobody here buys them.

  It's like it's haunted.

Alright, first off, I can't DIY any work on this, and I already know it'll be hard to diagnose the problem, but I've just run out of ideas on how to get this amp fixed. I'll describe the problem and the steps taken so hopefully someone gets an idea of what I can try next (as well as why I'm...

Hi moderators, will just report a couple of bugs that cropped up tonight:   1) Forum indexes don't refresh. I can see a new thread highlighted in the headings of each forum here, or the Subscriptions notifications can flag replies and if I click there it takes me to the page, but when I click...

I've been having problems with 3.5mm to RCA cables. I lost the old one I had, which was four (spare, originally uneven) Audience AU24 conductors twisted around and ground joined at the 3.5mm plug; but "luckily" I had a Monoprice hanging around and finally took it out of the plastic packaging...

      I'm thinking of upgrading my whole rig (including the display and peripherals) by next year, and considering the proximity of my computer to my head, silence is just as important now as cooling. Not that my current rig(1) is noisy on its own, it's actually pretty quiet. However, the...

I got out of speakers a few years ago when I gave up on the acoustics of the only usable room in our old house. I might however move by year end or early next year due to a job opportunity and perhaps apply to start my PhD, and suffice to say wherever I'm moving speakers are kosher until from...

    My Cantate's PSU was fried recently. Anyone know where to buy Thai Lin PSUs, specifically the TL99-0100-030, or as advised by Dr. Meier, the equivalent Talema? Went through the more popular sites like Mouser and they didn't have these; no luck on the sites I rant into through Google...

Swan HiVi D1080MkII 08 Product Page             Given a lot of interest around here in better quality 2.0 audio on a computer using speakers, particularly those larger than traditional "multimedia" active speakers, I decided to write a short review on this pair from Swan...

Was browsing through eBay and came across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Finished-6N11-Tube-Headphone-Amplifier-Aluminum-case-/120709174522?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c1ad3d4fa     Anyone have this yet? At that price point I'd hazard a guess they're probably similar to the G2, but you...

What IEM - universal or customs - sounds closest to a de-foamed HD600 for around $300 or less?* I need a portable better than my JLab J3,** which doesn't fit me right (so basically I'd prefer a nautilus-shaped universal) and also I'd like to get something better, specifically, sounds close to...

Given my recent work sched, I decided to move some of the gears in my full speaker rig into the computer where I spend much of my time nowadays. Setting aside the Icon Mobile for use with the laptop and Zen when I'm out, I set-up a Non-OS DAC-AH (the one modified by Ferds, bought it from the...
