Just an update...   I really like the Dunu DN-1000. A lot. 

What's a siganute?  This was a great help. Thank you! I am pretty convinced on the DN-1000, especially after reading this and Earfonia's review on the Dunus. I have found several reviews of people saying it was the best IEM they'd ever owned. As for the brightness, I'll let you know what I...

Thank you everyone for the responses! I appreciate the feedback. 

Hey all,   I am looking to purchase my first decent pair of IEMs to use on the go. The setup I am going to be using them with is an iPhone 6 paired with an Audioquest Dragonfly Black v1.5 via Apple CCK. I'm not sure I can say what my sound preference is because I have only owned a couple pair...

Hey friends, I'm going to carve a set of cups for my Mk2 T50RP. Does anyone know what type of wood this is?      These are some Smeggy made several years ago, I believe.

Hey friends, I'm taking on a new project to carve some wood cups for my T50RPs. I'm still doing work on my Grados too, don't worry. But does anyone have a guess as to what kind of wood is used in this pair?        I was thinking it might be Ziricote, but it doesn't look dark enough. It...

This is a place in SLC, Utah :/ I haven't decided on the color yet because he told me that they could do about anything... too many options lol   There are a couple places in Paterson though, TRB is one of them - http://www.trbandarn.com/Anodizing.php There's one in Linden close to where I...

The guy said there's usually a minimum charge of $65, and to do the cups and gimbal assembly was a good amount under the weight for the minimum charge. So he got me a deal at $45

sharks where are you at in NJ? Last couple of years I was living in Maplewood/Newark, but just moved back home. yeah GREQ I think you're right so I googled anodizing and it popped up a local place that just so happens to be the building next door to where I work. I never knew what it was until...

stratocaster is back!

Thanks! @alv4426 I probably will make more. I'll let you know when I do. Basic skills on a lathe + a couple hours is all it took! And I think that is like $4 of scrap tube from the shop lol

It's been a minute since I worked on my grados but I wanted to replace the plastic cups. Alu inners will be coming soon - I just ran out of time and got anxious so I put them back together with the plastic inners .          next to the wood magnums :)   I haven't listened to them...

Does anyone have leftover paxmate that they would be willing to sell off? 

Quote:   I actually did start doing the BMF mod, but couldn't get my hands on some transpore tape today. Will get tomorrow. And where in the world do you get paxmate? Is dynamat a good replacement?

Quote: So as I read on, I saw that RP2 are only recommended by mrspeakers with use of the 02 pads, which I really think are ridiculously overpriced. Although I haven't heard them. Anyway, with stock pads or 840 pads, would you recommend sticking with RP or going with BMF? You see I...

Hey now, I just purchased some T50RPs from B&H today because I saw they were only $74 (with free shipping ) and I am a sucker when it comes to tinkering, and I know the T50RPs are all about tinkering... So my question is: may I ask someone to fill me in on which mods would suit me best? I will...

Quote: Hahahahah

Quote:   Then perhaps you could answer a question that has burning in the back of my mind for quite some time.... Could you give me a rough comparison of any of the pairs I listed below that you have heard both or know a lot about both?   Magnum v4 vs. T50RP/Thunderpants   Magnum...

Quote:   Not to be rude, but rather I'll be forward... It seems pretty obvious if you ask me - just superglue it back in. Also, if you want to ask John Grado for new gimbals (which I have done before) you can just e-mail him saying yours broke and he'll send you new ones free of charge...

Quote: +1

Quote:   +1. With SR80s and my iPod at full volume, it quickly began to hurt my ears and didn't sound pleasant. With my magnums, the higher the volume, the better they sound (which is unfortunate because I know it's bad for my ears). My friend pointed this out when he A/B'd my Grados; he...

Quote:   I have a set of black v4s in mahogany from Sylvan, how long does it usually take for TYLL to test a pair (excluding shipping time because obviously that varies)?
