Hello, i think the title says it all. How can I open my L3000 for resoldering them to balanced ones? Thanks, Thomas

Hello, after owning a K1000 for a few months and having listened to another pretty neutral headphones I am a little bit disappointed about my L3000, especially concerning the overwhelming bass. Luckily there are a few fellow HiFiers (perhaps also HeadFiers) here in Germany owning a HD53 V8...

Hello, just a few questions concerning the Dynahi: - Do the HS-TWS heatsinks also fit for the amp board? IMHO they should, right? - How do I insulate the transistors from the heatsink? Any mouser/digikey numbers? - Mouser had no 3,57 kOhm resistors left for the PSU, do the 3,48 kOhm ones...

Hi, I know, the question sounds stupid, but it bothers me already a while whether there are substancial differences between different old K1000. Other brands are changing the construction/diaphragms of their headphones every few years (afaik e.g. Beyerdynamic). Is it the same with the K1000...

Hello, after seeing tkams amp, I realized that almost all parts were from diyclub, also the attenuator. For my Dynamight I wanted to use Elma stepped attenuators; but since the price is almost the same I was also thinking about the following...

Hello, like the title says, I ever wanted to know whether there are any real existing AUDIBLE differences between series and ladder attenuators. I know that because of only two resistors in the signal path, ladder should theoretically better, but on the other hand from the CDP to the...

After collecting 2000$ for a sft-audio balanced Dynahi, I realized that even with my poor electrical skills a selfmade-Dynahi shouldn't be too difficult. Soldering station, multimeter and other basic equipment are avaliable, so at least at this point there are no problems, am I right? And in...

Hello, I wanted to build a Dynamight soon for use with the L3000. But for balancing the cans I have to recable them, right? Is it generally possible to reclable them, and how difficult would this be? Thanks, Thomas

After seeing that more and more people were building a DynaMight instead of a Dynahi, I am also considering doing so. But there are still some questions left: - as I saw, you can only plug in balanced headphones, with unbalanced ones, you will only hear mono - right? Is there any (simple)...

Hello, looking for already one month for an upgrade of my portable rig consisting of Sony MZ-NH1 (MD-Player) Shure E3c, I finally came to the E4c's and the SF 5 Pro's. The reason for this upgrade is the very detached/thin sound of my E3c. Yes, I am a little basshead and I like the...

Hello, as the title says I am searching for an amp for my coming soon O2. Unfortunately, I have never heard any equipment in this price range, the best was a 404 with the 007 tube amp and the 313 transistor amp. While the tube had the deeper/more impactful bass and better highs, the mids...

Hello, as you can see, I am still indecisive between these two cans. Another problem would be that I won't be able to hear any of them before purchasing, so I need head-fier owning both (or at least one) of these cans to give me their expressions. The reason I want to buy an ATH-L3000 is that...

Hello, I remember a page where the frequency spectrums of almost all headphones were pictured, but unfortunately I forgot the URL. Perhaps someone of you still has got it... Thanks Thomas

Hello, because my RS1 is too precious for my portables, I thought about a cheaper Grado for them - or an Alessandro? Now my question: If I would have about 100$ for my second headphone, what shall I buy? I personally like the sound of the Grados, but never heard an Alessandro, which are said...

I think the title says everything.... After searching the forum, many people said a gilmore lite would work good with the grado. On the other side, there are also some people in the german forums who recommend a Corda HA-1 MkII..... can someone please tell me his opinion/experience about the...
