So I have been thinking about enhancing the acoustics in my room for music listening and I have a couple basic questions about acoustic foam and treatment.   Where are the most important areas to have acoustic foam? I am a DIY kinda person and am wondering if there are any kind of DIY...

Are there any tutorials, design plans, how-to's, or people with helpful advice regarding constructing wooden ear cups for the Fostex T50RP and the assembly of the drivers into the cups? I think this would be a fun and challenging modification to the headphones to try. Thanks for any and all help!

I have been quite interested in getting into the sound of orthodynamic headphones and head-fi. At one point I was seriously considering the Audeze LCD-2, but considering I am a college student and the price tag of $950, that is just not an option for me. The Fostex T50RP looks like a great place...

So I recently acquired a Yamaha CA-610 II stereo amplifier off of the curb of the road with a sticker on it saying "Does not work". I picked it up regardless in hopes I could fix it up without too much trouble. Thing is I have never done any repair work on an amplifier before so I am not sure...

So I am pretty sure I accidently blew my beloved ATH-M50s.  I have them hooked up to my receiver currently and someone knocked the volume knob way up, luckily they were not on my ears I guess. Is there any way I can send them somewhere to be repaired? I don't want to dish out lots of money for a...

I am wondering if Best Buy sells any IEM's around $100 that are not ridiculously overpriced or nearly MSRP. The reason I ask is because I have a $50 gift card to Best Buy and everything else that I would want from Best Buy is nearly $50 cheaper else where lol. I am completely new to IEMs and...

Let me start by saying hello, I just became a member of the forums here at Head-Fi!    I currently have a pair of Logitech z-5500 speakers that I use to listen to my computer. I know I know, not exactly the greatest things in the world. But I have decided to sell them and grab a pair of Swan...
