    Asking headfi, should I fix my broken AKG K1000's for $850, or sell them cheap and get something else for the money.

    I realize that only I can really figure out if it is worth it for me to get my broken drivers in my K1000's replaced, but I thought I'd ask to see what people think.   I have a pair of K1000's that have two blown drivers.  I have been broken for a few years, and sat in the box all that time...

    Anyone in NYC have Westone UM3X's and want to compare with 3's?

    I have a pair of Westone 3's, and I am curious about the UM3X's, but I can't find a dealer in NYC who carries the UM3X's so I can listen to them. If anyone out there has the 3X's in NYC and is interested in comparing with the 3's, let me know and I'd be up for having a mini meet. Or, if you...

    Mini 3 build question- can a metal film at C4 blow the U5 opamp?

    When I was building my Mini 3, I had to substitute a .1uf metal film cap for the ceramic cap at C8, because I was either not sent the right amount by digikey, or lost one when I opened the little bag. I had the metal film, and didn't think it would hurt to use it since it was all that was...

    Sent in AKG K1000's for repair, was told unrepairable, obsolete item.

    My K1000's began buzzing on one channel, so I sent them into AKG for repair. They replied obsolete item, unrepairable. I'm trying to see if I can send them to Austria for repair, they're going to get back to me. The service rep said that as far as she knows, there are no parts available for that...

    PINT Problem, input and output ground connected through chassis...

    Before Tangent cancelled the PINT project, I bought three boards and the parts to make three minified PINTS. I had one working, but my efforts to isolate the ground on the output channel failed with usage, and the ground on the output connected to the ground on the input through the mint tin...

    Question about power supply ratings (PINT)

    I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but I have a question about suitable power supplies for tangent's PINT headphone amplifier. I have a couple of them built up (minified), and I am wondering if I can use the power supply that I built for my Hagerman Bugle with the PINT. The specs for...

    What do you use to insulate uninsulated jacks?

    I am accumlating the parts to build a few Pint amps, and I bought the uninsulated sockets from Digikey, because I didn't want to buy from a lot of different vendors. After reading about the construction of the Pint, it seems that isolating some of the jacks is vital to the function of the...

    Any portable digital headphone amps out there?

    I am wondering if there are any portable digital headphone amplifiers, digital in the sense that the amplification topology is digital, like a tripath. I thought that the AE-1 and the Ray Samuels Hornet might be digital amps because of their longevity with a single battery charge. It would make...
