Hi guys, it's been a while. recently stumbled one some nasty deals (eg. more than 50% off retail prices) at Dell Outlet (refurbished laptops, and other stuff) Well I have been trying to place an order for one at the Dell outlet, and the prices there are truly stellar! problem is: I'm in...

I've got an AD8620 on a modded Emu 0404 so to bias an AD8620 with 2 CRDs I put one CRD connecting pin 1 to pin 4, and another CRD connecting 7 to pin 4? I don't have a technical background, so pardon me if it sounds way newbish!

as above. using headphones straight from the source, without an amp. is 12mV acceptable? with say.. 50ohm cans?

hey guys, anybody started on their PPA yet? Do share your experiences on this thread. me, I'm waiting for my PPA boards to arrive from tangent before I start trying to figure the whole thing out Per Ablaze's request, the original thread was split and the applicable posts were moved...

I'm using the same pair of cans (unamped) to A/B two sources. whats the best way to match the volumes identically? (I don't trust my ears ) how's this? play the same test tone out of the two sources, and measure the AC voltage out of each source? does the source's output impedance come into...

someone told me that using a splitter like this: will hurt the sound of the individual cans. Could someone explain how exactly it hurts the sound? thanks

wow! another pre-order going on. http://headamp.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=55 who's going for it?

I know perhaps one person who can answer this ie. bangraman BUT if anybody has any idea, I was wondering if the W2002 lambskin pads would fit on the CD3000s?

hi guys, I made some smileys in the 'emoticon' style with for a few cans, with my favourite being the one in my avatar Intending to use them in my forum. for those good/keen on this, I'd love to have your help in designing more smileys with our favourite cans. the base image is here: do...

see a few sporadic opinions here and there, but nothing full or even-half length. so whats the consensus on the newest Corda? (edit: compared to the HA-1 and HA-2 that is)

howdy Stax users, what're your opinions of the Stax headphone extension? does it degrade the sound quality in your opinion (I'm not speaking theoretically, I'd like to hear from those who've actually used the extension, if possible ) also, the SRE-15N or the SRE-signature? I was looking at...

I've (well at least I'm going to receive) an SR-313 amp. it'll be a Japanese domestic unit ie. 100v, there's no selectable switch to the back. Does anyone have the proper instructions or something to manually switch the amp to 230-240v voltage for where I'm at?

has anybody tried DIY-ing a headphone extension for Stax 'phones? where does one get those funny-looking connectors for Stax earspeakers?

hi guys, to fashion a cable to add to a 4P to make it a 4B(binaural) it'd go like THIS? is that correct?

hi guys, just wondering if I understood it right. so if I made a headphone extension with a 3 conductor cable, to implement the resistors into the extension, I'd place the resistors like below? (ground=common ground)

man. I'm jealous of you US guys anybody wanna buy me one to send to me? http://www.compusa.com/products/prod...97&pfp=REBATES

got my EMP at last, thanks to a nice headwizer anyway, the tubes are stock and really old (>3years) I'm expecting them to die on me soon. I'm gonna get the much recommended Sylvania Gold 6201s (Telefunkens are a lil too much $$$ for me) whats a good match for the Sylvania GB as an input tube...

has anybody tried removing the foam layer that covers the drivers (ie. like the Sennheiser HD600 mod)? how're the results? for that matter, the HP890s have another white, papery thing covering the drivers as well (compared to the Senns' drivers, which are bare, once the foam layer is removed)...

pardon my newbieness with a multimeter. so, I connected a 1/4"-1/4" cable (both male) to the headphone out of my amp (X-can), but when i put the ground lead of my multimeter to the corresponding ground on the male end thats not connected to the amp, and the other lead to the tip, the...

recently I had one driver of my Sony CD3Ks die on me. distorted and very much reduced in volume. and these cans are barely 2 months old only. so I'm trying to figure out what went wrong. I've had suggestions that my amp: X-can V2 (also very new, approx a month old) could be the culprit? Could...

looking to DIY some rca-->mini i/cs but the 1/8" jacks I can find locally are horribly small and hard to work with. are there really FAT-bodied 1/8" stereo plugs around?

got an item on ebay that I'm gonna try my hardest to win but its one of those pesky sellers who only accepts cashier's/money orders. and only ships to the US. not very "internationally-friendly" so..I'm hoping someone here would be able to help me out? this is what I'm suggesting. 1. I...

I got this strange problem with my X-can. everytime I lightly tap the chasis of the amp, and especially the volume knob the tapping sound transmits all the way into my cans. in fact, lightly scratching or even lightly TOUCHING the volume knob with my fingernail is enough that I can hear it...

I've got a generic wallwart here 12V AC 5000mA, but I tested it with a multimeter and its reading 14v (its unregulated). Would it be a good idea to use it with an X-can-v2? its 12VAC for the default psu I think.
