Does anyone other than ALO sell brand imprinted silicone/rubber bands to hold your ipod/iphone and portable amp together? Any suggestions? Thanks.

There is a guy on ebay,  fred_fred_2004, selling very impressive looking diy altoid tin can-based cmoy's. Pictures of the internals show very clean and well-laid components. He uses a variety of opamps. His Audiophile 3-Channel and Ultimate model are especially impressive.  Has anyone bought one...

Hey fellow head-fiers...need your help...I am trying to find a good contact for sijosae, a South Korean diy'er who was formerly active in several diy forums...not so much here. How about some leads please.  Thank you.

I just bought a nice pair of second-hand AKG K701's. When I opened the box, one of the "earmuffs" had fallen off.  I tried twisting them back on clock wise while pressing in...no dice! I tried counter clockwise...no go. I carefully inspected the piece and where one would assume that the...

Has anyone ever bought tubes from THE TUBE SOUND on ebay? This seller, tanerunlusoy, from Ankara, Turkey is very expensive. He currently has a set of 6 Tung Sol 6SN7/VT231's listed for $1150. He's had other expensive tubes for sale before. If his ebay feedback is to be believed, people are...

Has anyone used the new re-issue TungSol tubes produced by the New Sensor Corporation of NY, NY and made in Russia? I was looking at their 6SN7GTB brown base tube ($33.22) and it looks quite nice. Any comparisons to their NOS counterparts?

I'm thinking about building a SOHA II. GlassjarAudio recommends the AVEL LINDBERG 30VA 15+15 toroid transformer, presumably because of its cost-effectiveness. I've been reviewing transformer threads to see what else is available and what is being used by others. I've been interested in the...

I can't seem to find any information describing this capacitor. I know that they are part of the MUSE series and that they are suppossed to be pretty good. But I 'm confused: I've read where the KZ series if Nichicon's best but that appears to be in conflict with what I've been told about the...

Microshar has just released their new uAMP109 and 109+ with an effective date of 1/17/09. I bought their first product when it first came out. It was my first amp. Subsequently purchased a Mister X Pimmetta, Headphonia, RSA Tomahawk, and RSA71 and sold the Microshar since all of the latter...

Would anyone like to share their thoughts on their DV3322. How does it compare to the DV336 series and/or the WOO 3/3+/6?

What branch were you in and where did you serve?

Which IEM's should I be considering for classical music, piano, and new age? Highs are critical as well as soundstage and detail. Mids important. Bass should not be heavy. I am considering the Sleek SA6's as well as the Ety EP4-P. Any other suggestions?

I am getting ready to get soundcards for both my laptop and main computer. I am not a gamer but use these computers extensively to listen to music. I was thinking of getting a set of Creative Lab X-Fi Xtreme products but after reading a number of thread I'm no longer sure. I've come across...

Sent my Senn HD600's in to SennUSA to fix a problem...no sound out of right earpiece. Got them back today. Senn replaced the cables but they still don't work...still no sound out of right earpiece even after attaching them to 2 different portable amps! Any ideas or recommendations? I contacted...

Need some help...where can I buy some black velour and/or leather earpads for my Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's? I'll be needing two pair.

What are the sonic and aesthetic differences between these headphones? I can't seem to find neither information on the LTD series anywhere on the web nor links to anyone here in the USA selling the series. I did, however, find a retailer in Korea and in Singapore. Should I just suck it up and...

I will be sending in either my Beyer 770's or Senn 600's to Headphile soon for an upgrade cabling and woodies...not sure yet whether to go with the full wood cover or the cover with the holes. I'm waiting for information from Larry as to how these choices will affect the bass and overall sound...

I bought a Sony DVP NC555Es about 12 months ago and had the audio portion upgragraded/modded by Reference Audio Mods. They've done other work for me and I've been pleased with the results. The 555 was then purchased with both video and audio in mind. While it has progressive scan, it lacks...

I'm curious, is there any concensus out there as to whom builds the best Chu Moy amp. I was going to get one on ebay but was soon thoroughly confused as I started finding a huge difference in their construction to include a variety of cap brands and cap sizes, resistors used, opamps, pots...

Can anyone recommend any web stores/retailers selling the AKG-K701's for a reasonable price? They seem to be going for about $260-290 on ebay. I will consider refurbished products with warranty.

Check out Microshar's iPOD line out cables. They come terminated in your choice of jack/ jack or jack/dock. They're made out of silver plated copper or pure silver. Copper line outs are available in white or a multi color, are 10.5 inches long, and are now on sale for $35. I believe that they...

Any recommendations for headphone amplifiers which are best suited for classical, guitar, and piano music? I recently read an evaluation which suggested the RSA SR71 followed by the Hornet (M). It looks like the new Lisa III might also be suitable. I've not personally heard any of these three...

Looking for assistance from the field in regards to the best sounding headphones for classical music, guitar a la Gypsy Kings and Flamenco, and piano. I recently read a thread that recommended the AKG 701's. Don't need booming bass...looking for soundstage, clarity/transparency.
