    How are the Cardas HD650 connnectors like?

    I just got the DIY connectors for HD650 by Cardas on ebay. I noticed that one side of the connector has an exposed side so that the wires can be soldered to them. However, there's no cap/covering to cover the exposed wires... should it be like this? They are exposed like the black one in...

    Ghettofabulous headphones: KSC-75 + 180s earmuffs

My D1001 were not portable enough although they do keep my ears warm. The mod literally took a min to complete and is 100% reversible. All you have to do is remove the...

    MarkL Mod made EASY! D2000 (possibly for D5000) template!

    I have created this template for D2000s, it should work for the D5000 as well with a few modifications to the ear cup piece. Gray shades are to be cut out. I used this exact template for my friends new D2000. The holes align very accurately but you must tape the template down and not let it move...

    Using Zero amp with Logitech Z-2300

    I just got a set of Logitech Z-2300 (200W, 400W RMS) speakers. I'm just wondering if it'll be ok to plug that into my Zero amp's headphone jack. I'm not sure if these speakers will overload the amp but I don't see why this should cause a problem since the speakers are powered with their own...
