    Crack;Bottlehead OTL

    Got my tubes today! Plugged em in and finished my voltage checks. I am fortunate to not have any balance problems or noise problems. It's dead silent even at max volume! I am very impressed by the sound. It's definitely a "smoother" sound compared to my iCan and E9k. It's like comparing a 10 yr...

    Quote: Found it. It's an ALPS RK50114A0001. The price for it is just a bit out of my range.

    LOL I'm trying to put together the pcb for the speedball but I'm having a hell of a time soldering the heatsink to the pcb. It keeps draining the heat from my tip!

    Crack;Bottlehead OTL

    Well I couldn't wait for the missing #4 nuts + tubes so I went to my local Home Depot and picked up some nuts so I can continue my build. For the wooden stand, I went for the weathered look. Finished product minus tubes: Now I just need to get the tubes in, get some listening time, then start...

    Crack;Bottlehead OTL

    I was also missing the #4 small nuts when I was putting it together last night. I called this morning to get the missing tubes and nuts. The guy I talked to just needed my name. Don't forget to mention that you might be the first 6 orders to get the clear top rca tube.

    I received the package today. Really excited to see if I was one of the first 6 to place an order during the free speedball sale. Opened the box and no tubes were included in the package. The packing list had the tubes checked off but none were found. :-( Looks like I'll be calling Bottlehead...

    The Official Beyerdynamic T1 Impressions and Discussion Thread

    I have a T1 #95xx and I don't hear this crazy spike people are talking about. I wish someone would take some measurements of later serial #s.

    V-Moda / M-100 NON Fanboy feedback

    When I had mine, I had to constantly adjust the cups because one ear always feel off. I tried to fit my ears into the cups but then my ears are touching the inner pads. Man, did my ears hurt after an hour. The sound is pretty good but the discomfort is just too much. My hd280 doesn't sound as...

    V-MODA M-100: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.

    I hope there will be some kind of pad trade-in program set up. Paying more for something they should have gotten right in the first place will be an insult. I'd rather return them. They can lose $300 or a few dollars. Their call.

    V-MODA M-100: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.

    Well, I received my M100 today. Spent a couple hours so far. I'll reserve my judgement till I've spent more time with it. The ear cups are really small. I'm used to my HD280 pro and Beyer T1 cups that go around my ears. The M100 kind of sits on my ear and it gets pretty uncomfortable. I'm...

    Whiplash - have they gone missing?

    Good luck with that. I purchased a cable over a month ago. Still has not shipped. Worst company ever. I'm surprised there are no class action lawsuits yet.

    The Official Beyerdynamic T1 Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Received my T1 a couple weeks ago. Currently driving it with an E17/E9K (Currently saving up for a decent amp). Learned about TB Isone a week ago and been playing with it. I've never heard 'out of your head' sound like this before. It's blowing my mind. Does it get better with a SPL Phonitor...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    I also took the plunge at a refurb from Crutchfield. Normally I would not consider purchasing the HD700 @ 1k. Boy am I glad it was from Crutchfield because the refurb had a bad left driver (it clicks on heavy kick drum). Called them up and they're sending out a brand new one as replacement. I...

    Got my refurb HD700 from Crutchfield yesterday.....the left driver made a clicking sound when bass notes hit. Called up Crutchfield and they're sending me a brand new one. I was amazed at their service. Especially when these are refurbs. Color me impressed.

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    Hello! I just received my E17 and the darn thing will not turn on unless the USB is connected. I've made sure the lock switch is not on and I've let it charge for almost a whole day. The battery indicator shows that it is full. It just will not turn on if I unplug it from the usb. Anyone...
