    HD 518 teardown - with a shocking twist!

    I recently picked up some very lightly used HD 518s from one of our members in the classifieds section.  They sound good - really good.  So, of course, I figured I would spend a some time taking them apart to see if they could be modded to sound even better.   There aren't a lot of members...

    Cannot leave feedback for a member

    I'm unable to leave feedback for someone.  I get this error when I submit:   Fatal error: Call to a member function first() on a non-object in /var/www/sites/huddler/releases/c0d4a43960e06730cb9f2e71bb6b59594ce18c6e/v2/system/application/libraries/objects/HuddlerObject.php on line 1414

    Why can't I solder wire in the stock HD580 cable?

    I have HD580's that I usually use plugged into my y1 / mini^3 combo.  The mini^3 has a 3.5mm terminal, so I use a kind of sketchy and awkward 1/4" to mini adapter to plug them in.  Since the adapter and the length of the stock cable are inconvenient, I figured I would get a new 1/4" cable and...

    Closed headphones for indie, alternative, rock, and around $150

    I apologize for asking such a tired question, but I've been searching for a couple of days now and I'm looking for more opinions.    I mostly listen to alternative/indie/rock type stuff.  To throw out a few artists I like:  Death Cab, Sarah Bareilles, Nickel Creek, Guy Clark, Pink Floyd...

    ER6i's have developed a hiss

    I have some ER6i's that I use whenever I'm out and around and want to listen to music. I noticed tonight while listening at home that the right monitor has developed a sort of hiss. The hiss is independent of the source, and I don't hear it on any phones. Whenever I plug it in, even with 0...

    DIY Power Amp - Suggestions?

    Hey all. I just finished building an M3 that I was planning to use both as a headphone amp and as a preamp. I also have a Pioneer A35R that supposedly has a power amp mode (allowing you to plug in a preamp and bypass the internal one) and now that I try it, it's apparent that the internal preamp...

    DIY Headphone Amp - where to start?

    Hey all. I just finished a project for an EE course where we built an audio amplifier more or less from scratch. It was a lot of fun, and I'd like to try to put together a headphone amp as a small project to keep me entertained over winter break. I've tried Googling around a little bit, but I...

    DAC-AH or MicroDAC? Help a n00b out!

    Well, I've spent the last couple of days using the search function rather extensively, trying to find a good price/performance DAC to upgrade sound on both of my PC's. I've narrowed it down to the Headroom MicroDAC and the DAC-AH, which both seem to be very good performers. This DAC will be...

    HD201's are great, but...

    I sort of want more. The balance on these is pretty nice, detail is good, etc. I really enjoy their sound, and for the price they're a steal. The problem is that I just plain want a little more. I'm not sure if I'm hypersensitive, but these get uncomfortable on my ears after a while, both in...

    Speakers, Subwoofers, Amps. Also, my head is exploding.

    This happens once or twice down the line whenever I'm starting to get into something new. It happened with computer hardware, and now it's happening with speakers. Basically, I'm a review fanatic - I want to get the absolute best bang for my buck that I can. I hate wasting money. So I run around...

    Help me find a subwoofer!

    I know this forum is geared towards the headphone crowd, but I know there have got to be some speaker guys out there. Anywho, I need a subwoofer. I think. I'll start with my setup: MPC/FLAC/CD --> AV710 --> Yamaha RX-V393 --> Harman Kardon HKB6's. Receiver here...

    Another "help me choose" thread

    I've been reading around here for a good couple of weeks now, and sort of started getting into this with the purchase of some Sennheiser HD-201's. I've never been into headphones (at all) but I have a decent ear and a good bang-for-my-buck speakers/reciever setup. The HD-201 sounds fairly...
