    Soldering suggestions?

    thanks for the help guys, I decided on the Hakko 936 soldering iron, it looks very good. For the tip, I am looking at a http://www.hmcelectronics.com/cgi-bi...uct/0460-0014/ conical tip for cabling and board assembly. Does that look like a good one, or do you guys have some better suggestions?

    Headroom Airhead-Improvement?

    Hey everyone- I currently have have a Headroom Airhead hooked up to my HD 600's, and I'm looking for a little bit of improvement. What kind of amp would I get to get some better sound? Either DIY or commerical, I dont have a preference, although I would prefer for it to be atleast semi portable.

    Smaller iPod Dock

    A friend of mine had a similar problem, and ended up building a dock for it and using a pocketdock to connect it (if that makes sense). I'll try to track him down, he just moved. It was the basic dock, just with a cut out for the pocketdock. I'll try to track him down, he just moved..

    Refurb versus new?

    Hey guys- I think my next headphone upgrade is going to be to the HD 600's, and while they seem great, I have a hard time justifying spending 300$ on them. However, 230-250 is not so bad, for a refurbished pair. Now, I have no problem buying refurb computer stuff, but I was wondering if with...

    Like to hear comments on Airhead + HD555

    I actually have the same setup, so I may be able to help =) I would not say its a "WOW" moment, but it is definetly very noticeable. It really gives the HD 555's a far better sound, bringing out the details and bass and so forth. I am happy with the combo, overall.

    recabling a pair of HD555's/595's?

    Ok, thanks for the info Nikon. I put together a 1/8-> 1/4 inch and 2 mini to RCA cables, so I think I have the hang of things, since they came out great, but I will try it on a pair of HD 201's that I picked up first.

    recabling a pair of HD555's/595's?

    A few more questions: What type of solder should I use? Anything else I should have on hand when recabling? Anything I should know/hear about from other owners of either of these two headphones before recabling that would be helpful? (IE "Dont unscrew the third screw from the right, they...

    so, can anyone tell me how to open up these hd-595s?

    Heres my plan, if it helps: Remove the 4 pin connector and mini boards. Take all those out, and just unsolder the wires from the drivers. Solder them on again. Done. But it may be easier said than done, I havent started yet.

    A kind of noobish question about headphone wire polarity

    I was taking apart my HD 555's to check them out for re-cabling today, and I found that (obviously) each driver had going to it 2 wires. Now, one of them has to act as the positive and one has to act as the negative, but how does that work? If someone could give me an explanation of the polarity...
