    Minnesota Meet 2020

    Just gauging the interest. I can host like last time if in a Roseville park building (with a Gofundme and all). If someone else wants to host elsewhere, that is perfectly fine as well! Just let myself and everyone know if you want to host by posting here in this thread. I'll try to tag various...

    Where to buy drivers for earbuds?

    So I have a fairly cheap but very cool looking vintage Sony earbud on the way (Sony MDR-E211). These are not IEMs. I'd like to know if there are any drivers to look for if I wanted to transplant different drivers in. I'm not 100% sure of the driver size as I don't have them yet and there...

    Where can I buy HD600/HD650 grills in the US?

    All I see are from the UK, but I'm a bit too impatient for that :)

    Earpads like the Audeze Vegan Pads (but thinner)?

    I'm looking for alternatives of the same/similar material, but possibly thinner to keep the vocals from being too affected on my AD2000*. Not looking at pleather pads, as I find them very uncomfortable in this sweltering heat.

    Eliminating Hiss on Andromeda? < 100 USD Portable DAC/Amp recommendations?

    I've just got a used Andromeda. I have an LG V20 and am using PowerAMP beta as the music app. I can hear a bit of hissing, and I'd like to eliminate that. I've looked into the ifi iEMatch, though ifi does not recommend it for IEMs with an impedance of lower than 12 ohms. The Andromeda's...

    Fixing Receiver Imbalance?

    I picked up a relatively old "vintage" JVC R-X40 receiver from a local thrift store. Plugged it in and it turned on. Probably should've had some headphones to plug in. Basically, the right channel seems to be a lot louder than the left. This is noticeable with the headphone jack and the speaker...

    Where to buy Hifiman HE-400/500/6 grill rings?

    As in the title. I've searched ebay and did a quick Google search and found only results for the pad adapters.

    How do you determine whether a recording is "well-recorded?"

    What are some examples of well-recorded songs/albums and some that aren't?   It would be great if I could get some non-classical/jazz examples. Nothing wrong with them, but I guess it seems too easy.

    Power Supply for Stax SRM-252s?

    I don't want to damage anything and I'm looking at this one unit without the included power supply.   Questions that I have:   -How would I know which power suppliers would work? -Is it possible to damage the driver unit if using the wrong power supply? -I got this power supply from a...

    Static noises in tubes?

    I'm new to tubes (even though it's been a few months with a tube amp), so I don't know what's happening when I'm hearing noise with headphones on even with the volume all the way off.   I think the tube is the Heintz and Kaufman 5998 running on a Bottlehead Crack. I have other tubes, and I...

    How do you send an audio signal to a Stax energizer/amp?

    I don't have any Stax headphones or energizers yet, but I plan to someday.   So if I have a ifi iDSD Nano as my DAC from my PC, is there a way to have the audio signal go through to a Stax energizer?    I know nothing outside of RCA, 1/4", and the more common connections, so please do fill...

    Quiet but powerful electric fans with a stand? Open-back headphones dilemma

    Curious as to what you guys have.    I got this cheap like 20 dollar one that is unbranded and it's pretty quiet on the highest setting, but it's pretty uhh.. weak. Especially since my laptop is on most of the time and I got a tube amp running. Opening the window no longer works as the air...

    "New Message" when I have no new messages

    I tried deleting browser cookies, data, and all that but still nothing. I marked all messages as read as well but still nothing.   Anyone know how to make it go away?

    Audio Technica ATH-AD2000 vs Sennheiser HD800?

    I have the ATH-AD2000 and was just wondering what I will be getting if I bought a pair of the HD800 (excluding the soundstage obviously).   I thought the bass on the AD2000 was light, but at the same time I felt that it was adequate (I know, weird).   But yeah if anyone has heard both I'd...

    How to fix Channel Imbalance on Headphones without a L/R software fix/Recommended Recabling services?

    So I have a modded ATH-AD2000.   I love them but the left side is noticeably quieter than the right or like less full sounding. I have concluded that it's a probably with the connector as it sometimes sounds full when plugged in at a very specific depth but then the right side doesn't make a...

    (Dumb Question) Is it ok to wash an audio cable (and not damage the headphones)?

    Let's say I have an audio cable that stinks literally.   Let's say I'm too cheap or broke to get another said cable.   Let's say that this cable is a detachable cable for a headphone.   Is it ok to wash the cable with soap and water, and find that that it still works fine without...

    The Next Step ("upgrade") After Fidelio X2's, HD600, and ATH-AD2000 (Goodbye Wallet)?

    So I'm a broke student, but since that has nothing to do with my sonic preferences.. I've been craving something a step or (a few miles) above these headphones.   I love them no doubt, but just minor complaints with them include:   HD600: Want something more "exciting", more treble extension...

    How to Pursue a Career in the Audio Industry?

    I'm at that point in life. I'm not extremely passionate about anything except for audio (and computers but more so audio).   So, how do you do it?   Which classes would be helpful in college and what fields would apply or lead me into that path?   I'm thinking maybe designing...
