I thought it was about time Custom Cans had their own thread. I can only write so much as I write exclusively for a hifi magazine. So I must be mindful of my boundaries. However I don't see anything wrong in kick starting this thread off. A UK based cable maker and headphone modifier. I came...

Someone help lol.... I am making an interconnect. 4 Pole XLR ( Female ) to Hirose 6 Pole ( Male ) So I can connect any of my cans with a male 4 pole XLR to my PB2. I'm stuck as I can't find a diagram that explains this. ie The Hirose has 2 hots 2 colds and 2 grounds, Where the XLR has Left and...

I had a good look with the search tool first and couldn't believe there is no thread dedicated to this/these cans! Considering how popular they are I thought I would start a thread where we can all share our love for our beloved HD25's. Also, feel free to post up pics of your cans folks...

I just did something what I felt was rather strange but right, And I'm wondering if any of you have done the same thing?   I have two pairs of headphones that I love and have used but taken great care of.    Sennheiser HD-25 1 II Adidas Originals. V-Moda V80 True-Bloods.   I've noticed...

Question for my audiophile, headphile, DJ, Sound engineer etc friends….. I have a rapidly growing collection of DSD/FLAC etc files that I listen to a lot on my portable and desktop headphone rigs, However, Ild like to listen to them on my main hi-fi as well. I can run my macbook through a DAC to...

Arghhhh, What is it with stuff breaking down lately? Must be something in the air in my manor lol......   within the last month Ive had the battery in my PB2 fail, The left driver of my IE8's has decided to go as quiet as a mouse with a whisper, My Westone UM1's right driver decided to have a...

Thanks to Jim ( The Cup Maker ) @JoeDoe @7keys @fleasbaby @cCasper TFG - Now @PETEREK So I decided to take the plunge and have a pair of SG's built for myself. These are mainly for use on my main Hi-Fi so will be powered by a Rega Ear MKI. As theres a bit of distance between my...

Ok Folks, My PB2 is currently out of action, Its out of warranty and my budget is near on non existent at the moment!   So what I could really of with right now is a list of ALL PORTABLE fully balanced amplifiers that I can take a look at and weigh up my options.   Lower end of the price...

I haven't found a general iBasso owners thread on the Forums, So as an avid fan I thought I would start one.   Currently I own the DB2 Boomslang and the PB2 Pelican. I run the rig balanced and single ended, & I find both very flexible for my needs!   Soon I'll be ordering either the DX50 or...

Ive just got married 3 weeks ago and we're moving in one weeks time. I already owe money to a good friend in a few months time who builds my cables for me.   Basically Ive just made an inventory of my main hi-fi cables and I don't have enough.   Now my moneys all tied up for the next few...

Ive been a very lucky boy this week...   As a wedding gift my Brother has bought me a set of Sennheiser Amperiors in blue,  And to make things even better my Uncle just ordered a pair of Momentum On-Ears in Ivory for me. And I ordered a pair of Denon Urban Ravers to see what the hype is all...

My second project Im about to embark on.   I have a set of brand new iGrado. Unfortunately the headband was snapped and the eBayer who sold them was not very helpful. Anyhoo, Im still on the hunt for a replacement headband and waiting on a reply from Grado themselves.   My IE8's are...

Good Evening Folks...   I have a decision to make and would like some help.   We're moving in 6 weeks and getting married in 3 weeks, I already owe money still to a good friend on here so my budget once  everyone and everything is payed off is going to be very slim. ( Some time in the new...

Well its one of those weeks where I've realised how much I enjoyed something and wish I hadn't sold it lol Im talking about my Grado SR60's. Not particularly high end I know...   I've juste started my own business, We're getting married in just under 5 weeks time, Moving in 7 weeks time and...

Pretty much as the title states...   Cypher Labs AlgoRhythm Solo? Fostex HP-P1? Sony PHA-1?     I have a few idevices that are my regular portable devices,  I have the iBasso PB2 Pelican. And I have a range of headphones and iems. Mostly I use my HD25's and my iE8's.    ...

I love my old 531s but unfortunately my fiance knocked them off the shelf last year :( Anyway I was pondering on what to do when a DT770 premium with 770pro headband came along really cheap without drivers. Call me mad but I started to conceive my plan to make a hybrid that will later be...

Ive just landed a cheap set of driverless DT770 Premium's with DT770 Pro headbands ( Black forks. ) Im going to be fitting 770 ( 32ohm ) drivers from new but I dont want the black forks. Ive tried finding some online - Google, eBay, Here, Amazon etc etc And Im having no Joy!!   Any ideas...

Sorry folks I wasn't sure where to put this...   I will shortly have my balanced headphone needs sorted, However,  As I'll have the Boomslang 2 DAC eventually, I'ld like to utilise the balanced line out. My budget wont be huge, As one, My portable budget will be all gone, Im also...

Well I've asked in the Android thread to no avail so I'm hoping there are some  fellow Blackberry Playbook owners on here that might be able to offer up some help.   Its a simple enough question -   Is there a way to run the playbook through a portable usb DAC using the usb port on the...

I just recieved the "Sony MDR-XB300" cans I bought for my 9 year old boy to go with his iPod Touch as he's beginning to take after me and I want to give him a little start and nudge into the world of audio.   Anyways.... I bought these on ebay knowing its always the flip of a coin.   Im...

Evening Ladies & Gents...   I'll try to make it short,   I'm not a noob to this but have been away from vinyl and a decent turntable setup for some time now. I had a Thorens TD180 eons ago but unfortunately sold it ( Stupid moi lol )  Still have my SLBD22's, 1210 & 1200's, Love them...

I wasn't too sure where to put this to be honest so I've put in here for now until a mod/admin can put it where it rightly belongs lol.   Anyway, I did a search and can't find one so thought I would start a Cambridge Audio Owners thread.   This can be anything from CA, Pictures...

I have a set of Sennheiser HD400's that desperately need an amplifier that can really do them justice. So far the only amp I have thats anywhere close to being able to drive them is my Fiio E17 set to +12db. Yet that's still not enough!   Its a wicked portable DAC/Amp but no where near...

This Review has been put off for a while due to ill health. SORRY Dennis!   Anyway, Dennis sent me this cable to review for him and is the second cable he has sent me.   Just like the first time it turned up very quickly from over seas and well packaged. The quality of the cable is...
