Because.. I never win anything and well, eventually I've got to win something. Right? Right?!

Are you looking for over-ears or on-ears closed? I've only really had experience with on-ears, so the DT1350, P5, HD 25 II.. that sort of thing. Sennheiser HD25 II are somewhat in between as the cups are quite big and they're pretty confortable with good isolation (DT1350 also very good...

I'm not entirely sure about iem sharing. Surely there are health issues there? Personally, I'm not so keen on the idea, but then I guess I don't have to go along. the location would suit me though.

PS you guys may be interested to watch this amazing review of the Ed 10s :)   www.youtube.com/watch?v=L34S4Tt1EuQ   Maybe my ears are faulty heh  

thanks will for organising the meet and thanks to jaben, addicted to audio and UM for coming to the show.   really interesting feedback guys. I really really liked the Ed10s, same as my gf. Cornellius did say that ultrasones do polarise people either one way or another. I listened to both...

wow, just found this thread! i'm hoping to make it (quite likely). I don't really have a lot of gear to bring that isn't going to be represented already, other than a Meier stepdance (1st generation). Will probably bring my Beyer DT1350s too. Definitely keen to have a listen to some of those...

Well, i probably should have responded to this thread ages ago.. this video inspired me to purchase a pair of DT1350s when I went to Japan a couple months back. was happy with the purchase. Just rewatched the video and I noticed that Jude wears the HD25s around the wrong way at 6:20 (the cable...

Well I figure after Hakai's second post up there, I might as well put in with my few posts. Although my post count isn't huge, I do spend a fair amount of time here reading.   1. Easy listening 2. 90's pop 3. Stuff with a beat / Dance   Currently own Sennheiser HD600s, Beyerdynamic...

Hi all,   I've trolled through several threads looking for some good ideas of cable material to make my own IEM cable (have JH16s). I can't get those molded pins anymore cause the guy in HK says that they have stopped manufacturing them! Anyway, I have purchased some 21 and 20 awg sterling...

did you try like the previous poster suggested and trouble shoot each part of your setup? is your musiland outputting through line out into another device with no problems? is your cable ok? are all your plugs connected securely? is the tube in securely? etc etc. I assume there is some power...

No one can help me with my issue? I think perhaps the DAC blew itself up. It doesn't work on my other computer either. That's not a good sign. It only lasted 3 weeks! Is it normal for it to make an audbile click sound when you change from headphone to line out mode?

ttan98 - you have to open the musiland control panel and select "HP" instead of "LINE" for your ourput. then it will switch from line out to headphone amp.

sorry, should mention the equaliser was in foobar 2000 so it could be something i've done there rather than the dac itself

I need some technical advice. I've had my Musiland 02 for a few weeks now and it's performed fine. I've had it plugged into a stepdance (amp) and I just got myself a pair of sennheiser HD600s and started listening to them. I was really enjoying them, but then I lost all sound! I fiddled with the...

btw, anyone got thoughts on using a 12V car battery? I wonder what the play time on something like that would be

I wonder how much power you need to drive IEMs.. if you're driving oversized cans or something, then yeah i can see that having as close to 15V as possible wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.. but generally IEMs are pretty easy to drive as is my understanding. Also, by my calculation, based on...

well, my burn in period has ended. the battery charger i got with my 2X hoba 500 mahs went boom today.. only a week or so after i got it. sparks flew, some smell of smoke and my charger is now kaput, which means no more burn in until my DC charger arrives :/   Anouk, I'm not sure, but I...

I've been burning my stepdance in using batteries (since they last so long) on my laptop (via musiland 02 DAC) and i've noticed something quite interesting. Not sure if its by design or not, but just as the battery starts to die, all of a sudden, one channel will become a lot louder, and then...

That 4th adapter says it's switchmode regulated? ANyway, FYI and just for general consideration, I know those 500 mAh 9V batteries from ebay were discussed earlier in this thread - namely the hoba brand. I got myself 2 of those and i'm happy to report that after charging them, I got a whopping...

Well, mystepdance arrived a couple days ago, as did my rechargeable batteries so i haven't had a chance to start burning it in. what i heard sounds pretty good though - running JH16s so they don't really benefit from the amp but i have to say that some things do sound clearer. I had Jan put in...

do you have a link? i'd rather buy bare wire and use a larger gauge teflon tube (supposed to reduce the dielectric something or other, so the sound is not so bright?)   also thanks for the feedback re: nylon sleeving. Has anyone had any experience with the 1/8 sleeving for IEM cables? its...

oh, i see.. that techflex one is polyester. can anyone link me a good / cheap place hat will send to australia for some nylon flexo? i saw they make kevlar one too which is interesting.. anyone have experience with it? does it cause microphonics too?

Thanks for the feedback. The nylon that you're talking about is the solid nylon (like what power and usb cables look like) or a braided one? The only braided cables I can find seem to be of the flexible kind and i really do like the look of it. Will the heat-shrink over the entire cable not...

Hi all, some good looking cables throughout this thread! Have trolled back quite some number of pages now and picked up a few ideas. I realise that this isn't really a discussion thread so apologies in advance, but there is a lot of expertise here that i'd like to mine if possible. I'm looking...
