I'm so tempted...   Looks like Apple's new iAmp Headphone Amplifier! :D

I sent my e500s back to shure 2 weeks ago to get them fixed because of a torn left cable. I even told them that my cat had gotten a hold of it... they told me to send them in and they sent me a whole new e500 box with all the accesoriess. I only sent them the earphones without any extension...

22 here. Using akg(k701), beyers(dt770), shure(e500), recently sold my hd650s

I had hd650s all through college. If you're listening to them so loud that they're annoying your roommate then you're listening too loud...trust me.

I want a free recable!

I forgot to mention that I use the weighted base for mine when I need it. I think its the most flexible option since you can work on any surface and still have your workpiece stay still.

Prepare yourself for a long friendship sir...

I designed a pcb for 2 627s biased with a JFET cascode. I had hoped to etch it this weekend but something came up and I'm on my way back to school tomorrow without any double sided board. So it will probably be another week unless I head to the Frys Electronics in Houston, which is about an...

I can vouch for the x3 being a great mill.

The panavise JR or whatever its called is handy at holding cables and larger parts. It can hold a decent size pcb for you as well. The standard panavise with the vinyl jaws are handy at holding rather small parts. It can hold a pcb but only by an edge. Just last night I was using the JR to hold...

LOL Romo's awesome. And yes I was watching the game with my family and I started saying "look those things cost a grand...see I'm not so bad". My dad gave his typical smart ass reply telling me he has a job... he wonders where I get it from...

Use the foamies. To me any other tips make it sound off. I used the soft tips(grey) for a while after my first pair of foamies got worn out. Now that I've made my own foamies I'm starting to like them again. I'm a foamie fan what can I say.

Hehe...way to bring all the metcal threads back.

Teerawit ended up getting a good deal on a mx500 on ebay. He copied me.

Errr...nm old thread.

Sounds like you're trying to find parts rather than data sheets. For example if you want to do some fancy led circuit just Google "IC for led circuit". Google is your friend. Maybe suck it up and buy some electronic books. Mine have common ICs and their applications.

You have an ISA slot? Man I miss those days.

I would leave them out...but that's just me. I'm thinking they would be fine but you never know. That's not their intended use. Tape them to the inside of your case.

Weller sells a little abrasive stone that you can clean tips with. It's designed to not damage the tips plating. You should be able to just whipe that crude away on a damp sponge...

Demo Vid Rclick save as...9mb Sorry got bored... Very awkward position because I had to do it sideways for the camera to see. You get the idea though.

Muahahaha...opa2132 in class A pretty much does it. Sounds so freaking nice. Before the biasing it sounded similar to the ad822. I can tell a big difference now.

Problem is the microdac puts 30V across the legs of the 822

I know someone else who's microdac has the same bad thru hole soldering but his smd soldering looks fine. He bought his used and I bought mine directly from headroom. Go figure.
