I ordered the frame directly from hifiman through email. It was $50 flat, includes the shipping and they take care of the paypal fee.

I tried to unscrew the old frame but the screws were stripped on both sides of the cups. I took out the drivers from the cups and literally drilled a hole through the screw and cup to take out the old frame. After that I put the drivers back in the cups and the  new frame fit like a glove in...

Been a while since I've been on this site, just wanted to share a mod I came up with for my favorite headphones, the HE-500. Long story short, the fragile headband fell apart after a couple years of use. I looked at the new line of HIFIMAN headphones and took the opportunity to do this...

I don't know if this is the best place to put this post but, here I go.   I accidentally yanked my w1000x while it was still connected to my amp a few months ago and ever since then the cable started losing contact with the left driver. For the next few months I bent the intersection of...

As for the HP and Amp I think you may very well have my dream setup Enjoy it! Quote:

Thanks Sokolov, helped me a ton Yeah, I must admit I was looking at the GCHA as a great deal at the new price. I have heard that AT headphones aren't really sensitive to different amps so I'll keep that in mind now. Thanks again!  

Hey Sokolov91, I see you've had the PS Audio GCHA before as well as the W1000x. Were they a good pair? I'm looking for amps that will work well for the W1000x in case my LD I+ doesn't cut it (my W1000x is coming in sometime this week). I was also looking at the Burson HA 160. Any input is...

^Did your sparrow fly in yet? :P If it did, did it address all the problems you mentioned above?

Currently using the ef92 tubes and I have a 2107 op amp on the way

Soon, I'll be getting the W1000X and use it with my LDI+. I'm assuming the results would be good as well. What does the LDI+ do for your W1000? Quote:

I've been enjoying my favorite anime...the Hellsing OVA series Great art direction IMO

My thoughts exactly Quote:

Here's my little home rig Funny story with the Coldplay drawing, I was so proud of it back in my high school AP art class that I decided to stick it to my wall. Now I can't take it off > it's friggin stuck there! Notice the melting part...you can thank my laptop and DAC for that...

Quite a predicament with your headphones, well I'm (going to be) running my I+ from a DAC_II If you really want that k70x go for it! 2 in one? I didn't see that, have you tried doing a two in one inside the LD I+ before? I'm still new to OPA swapping so you'll have to forgive my noobiness...

Here's a link, ARROW electronics is the company selling it. If you end up buying it make sure to let us know, I'm barely going to try out the 2107 in my LD  ...

I've seen them for 18.04 from TI  

Hey Aynjell, did you get around to trying out the opa637?

Awesome, thanks Heatfan May be getting D7000 sometime to use with this amp   Quote:

Really? Alrighty, I'm thinking I'll stick with my stock amp for now How  about the other headphones I've mentioned or other headphones that you've tested with this amp?

I'm considering buying the 2107 OPamp from here http://www.newark.com/texas-instruments/opa2107ap/operational-amplifier-op-amp-ic/dp/01M8387   My LD I+ is on its way with EF92 tubes and I'm planning to use them mainly for my Grado HF2 and sometimes the ATH AD700 and ATH M50.   Does...

Tried the mod but I just don't think it was all that worth it IMO. At least for me the cost of sound leaking was something I couldn't afford to do. I also felt the velours gave you less ear space and because of that it gave me the impression of a smaller soundstage and clarity. However the...

Do you use that elderly keyboard to deter thieves? JK :P Will post my rig when I transfer to my University next year so keep this thread alive! Quote:

BTW I just ordered the LD I+ with EF92s I've heard the stock ones are not that great and the WE408a seemed a bit overpriced.

$5 a tube?! That is... awesome... so far I've only been able to find what another headfier posted for the mullards http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310087990802&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&afsrc=1 Should I keep looking or is this as good as it gets? I already have the...
