Hi. As the title says I'm looking for a good portable amp kit or PCB that would be good for 80ohm headphones, specifically the Beyer dt770 pro 80s. I'm not really sure where to look or what to look at to know if an amp would be good for my headphones impedance. I'd prefer a kit but a PCB and...

I'm building a DAW for music production but will also play counterstrike on it. I was considering the e-mu 0404 because it seems to be the best thing going for an inexpensive DAW card, however I don't think it (or most DAW cards) supports EAX. I never played CS with EAX so I wanted to ask; what...

Do splitters effectively cut the output of a signal in half? What about balanced XLR connections?

Hi, I'm looking for reccomendations on what would be a good PCI soundcard for recording/production and gaming. My priority is more recording and producing, but would like it to be good for gaming if posisble. I really don't want to get 2 soundcards. I need 1 stereo line input which can be...

Hi. I'd like to know what my options are for portable headphone amps good with headphones 50-80 ohms impedance. I own ety er-6s that are 50 ohms, beyer dt770 pro/80s that are 80 ohms, and I plan to own senn hd25-1s that I think are 70 ohms. There are others that interest me as well but all...

Are they out yet? I want to buy my dad a pair for christmas. However, knowing that hes never tried IEMs I want to make sure they can be returned if he doesn't like the feel. Does anyone know a place to buy them form that allows that?

Are the differences the same as was with the older consumer version; a little less isolation, less clamping, and more comfortable headband for some? Which has better build quality? Where could I get the Pro/80s in the US (my guitar center doesn't have them) or new consumer dt770s or are...

Hi, I was wondering if those of you who know wouldn't mind comparitively rating these cans in terms of how well they isolate: Sony V6/7506 Beyerdynamic dt770 Pro and dt250 Audio Technica ath-a900 Sennhesier hd280 and hd25-1 I'm mostly interested in how the V6 and dt770 Pro compare...

Hi all, I'm a DJ and was using a pair of V6s for a couple years until the left channel went quieter then the right. Searching the forums I found someone selling a pair that had the same problem only it was the right channel. Not long ago on ebay there were 2 pairs auctioned together with...

I have a pair of V6s that are around 3-4 years old. Around a year ago the left channel went quiter then the right. Not completely quiet, just not as loud as the right. The sound never actually cuts out so I'm not sure if its a cable or connection issue. I'm wondering if anyone else had this...

I know this is an odd question... I'm looking for pictures of the er-6's in somebodys ear (other then headroom's). I'm not expecting any replys...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for an ultraportable radio FM tuner to go with a pair of Ety ER-6s I will be getting soon. Coincidentally, headroom has a package selling those with a Sangean DT110 tuner. How good is this tuner? My priority is sound quality and picking up a local college radio...

For everyone that uses Shure earphones, do you HAVE to have the cable running down your back or can you have it run down in front of you? Thanks

Ok, It still plays, but you can defenintly tell somethings wrong. Its as if somebody turned the balance knob toward the right, like the left channel is quieter. However, the only thing I can tell listening to each cup individually is that the bass on the left side is distinctly more quiet than...

Recently I came across a simple passive line mixer circuit published here. Then I searched a little more and found this circuit for a crossfader. My question to those of you that actually know what your doing, is with some possible modifications (one circuit is passive while the crossfader...

Would the sony 500, despite its flaws in analog, make a good transport if I were to use it with a seperete DAC? What other cheap SACD players are out there?

Right now I'm building a low budget speaker system for my room. I think I've settled for the Monitor Audio Bronze 1 or 2's for my speakers, so now I got all the other necessary componants to work out. I thought I'd start with the source first, and that got me to this question: I imagine the...

I'm hoping somebody here knows plenty about hardware DVD players like the way alot of you do with headphones. Or, if someone could direct me to a site like this or a place respectable about DVD players. I need something kind of budget but I don't wan't a cheap peice of trash. I don't even...

Someone stole my ****ing CD player today. It was a panasonic 860 shockwave. It could have only been someone in my Gym class, so when I find out who it was, I'm ripping em apart, getting suspended, not gonna give a ****, miss classes, fail school, and my life will "suck" in the eyes of those who...

I know decent speakers are far more expensive then decent headphones, so I'm not gonna even state what kind fo budget I'm on. If there are any good speakers for below $500, name them or those above but near that price range. Thanks. Peace.

Well, depending on how suited the JMT is for a V6, that will probably be the amp that I get with (DBSE of course). However, I more and more seem to have a thing for crossfeed (I never heard it before, but it sounds very very nice). I dont know if the JMT amps have crossfeed, or how good it is if...

If I don't find them too bright, I think I'm pretty much set on getting one of the higher end grados (or allesandros) for home phones. What I'd like to know is: Compared to the Sr-60s (which I have for reference), how heavy are the sr-225s in comparison, and how do THOSE compare to the 325s...

It seems like when I first got to headwize it was like set in stone that EVERY phone improved over use. But lately it seems like people have been saying particular phones don't do this, or that NO phones do this... Well, my thing is, why doesn't somebody just order a new pair of phones they...

I don't really like getting hyped up for something I could be disapointed with, but I can't help myself. I'll probably have 'em at my door step by the time I get some good replys (I'm eager for jude since he's a V6 fanatic) to this anyway. The sr-60s are the ONLY "audiophile" peice of...

Is there some sort of ISO (I got a cable modem) I can download and burn so I can break in my V6s (when I get em)?
