what about the inductor around the input and output idea? 5 or 7 turns of wire wrapped around the signal wires. So the silver part around theamp is aluminum? I just thought it was just more plastic.  

How would it decrease sound quality? And would just simply having some aluminum foil on both sides connected to battery ground (or the little pin sticking out of the USB port which I assume is "chassis ground") help a little? Also, what about the ferrite beads or winding magnetic wire 5 or 7...

So i just connected the iphone 4s to the e11 and its unacceptable. On my nano 6G it is amazing. It bring detail, clarity and really amazing impact (especially with bass combined with a high frequency hit). When I launch Audiogalaxy, I hear all the blipping and blopping like you would when you...

hey, so I have been using the E11 with L9 LOD to my ipod nano 6G and koss KSC35, ksc75 and it sounds great. Also sounds good with Grado SR225i and Apple IEMs, awaiting my TDK BA200s. However when I switch to my iphone 4s, I get some RF interference. I am wondering. Has anyone actually opened up...

yeah i suppose that makes sense. thanks for the suggestion, I didnt think about that

Im experiencing the same exact problem. I just updated to the newly released 1792 drivers and ive been getting that. I didnt used to have it before. hmm. I guess its directsound for me . ASIO is now bit perfect so i cant use the volume control which makes it useless. KS and WASAPI crackles. my...

Quote:   yeah.... I realized that AFTER I made the purchase. Oh well, still worth it for me. This card is amazing! Im using 2xLME's for the I/V section and the sound is great coming out of my HD650s, best Ive ever heard it sound in fact. THis is mostly due to the DAC section as Ive...

Ok so I plugged the analog output directly into my power amp and its singing beautifully. No pops or click at any point in the switching or when the computer is powering on. This was happening to my M-audio 1010LT so I was concerned about blowing my speakers since the amp is very powerful(250...

Yeah, well that would mean that the amp+speakers is basically a set of powered speakers, which makes sense. Im just trying to see if the volume control on the board is good quality and whether or not there are any popping or clicking sounds associated with turning the computer on/off or...

Do you guys know if the analog outputs can be used as a preamp to a speaker power amp? I have a Yamaha M60 power amp and also the C85 preamp for it but I was wondering if I could bypass it and go directly to the power amp? WOuld this be a good idea? Also, is there any popping sounds associated...

OK guys, so I am looking to build a DIY amp mostly for on the go but also for sitting in bed listening to my HD650s. I was thinking of having a gain of 5ish and not using a potentiometer, just using the volume controls on my iPhone. In doing this I hope to be able to play things lower on my...

i wanna know this too. i wanna connect my koss ksc75 to my first gen iphone withouth a stupid ugly adapter

Ok guys, I know having a dedicated DAC and amp is ideal and I already have both, but I am studying in the library at my University (UCSD) and I have the Koss KSC75's. I am wondering, which audio out would you recommend to use over the other. The headphone jack of my Macbook Pro 2.5Ghz w/ 512MB...

OK guys, so this isn't directly a headphone question but this is my first post in years so bear with me. Sorry its been so long, Ive been busy with school and kinda got into speakers- no offense head phones So I just got a new pair of speaks _> the Energy C7s, which sound amazing and I...

do you think its worth pursuing? would an regular cap from radioshack work? Do you think I would hear any noticeable difference? I hear bose speakers have no crossover networks at all (well its in the subwoofer/amp )

Hey guys, I\'m probably gonna get flamed for posting about Bose in an audiophile forum but here goes nothing. So Ive got a speaker setup in my living room with a Harman/Kardon AVR 125 receiver, Infinity Primus 250 Floor Standing speakers as my Left and Rights, a Sony Center Channel and the...

I used to have an Asus V6V when I got the HD650s and I had the ol' TBAAM as well. I upgraded to the HeadAmp Gilmore Lite and its treating me amazingly well. The sound is so clean and everything is tight and crisp. Since the TBAAM has a builtin amp that sucks (relatively to a real dedicated amp)...

Ok so Ive got my headphone rig (HD650 and Gilmore Lite with AlienDAC). I just bought a new pair of M-Audio AV40 small studio monitors. They have their own amp built into the speakers. My question is, what would sound better? Using the pass through on my gilmore so it gets fed the AlienDAC's...

... you're poor from all those impulse buy decisions you make.

|m| Wish you were here is tasty. I love Dark Side though, definately got me into critical listening.

Take a look at the M-Audio AV40s, they are 2.0 speakers but put out enough bass so you dont really need the .1. They are designed for sound producers in mind, so they sound pretty well balanced (maybe leaning more towards lower end, but the highs are great too) and they can go surprisingly loud...

I dont really believe that the HD650s have one note bass. Even on a 5g ipod or other unassisted headphone jack, the cans sounds quite good and the bass is pretty good and prevalent. However, when you connect it to a real amplifier, the sounds really comes alive. When plugged into my amp and DAC...

Hey guys I just switched to OS X, I bought a brand new MacBook Pro and im enjoying it thoroughly. Definately super fast. So what kind of music players are out there as alternatives to iTunes? I wanna be able to play FLAC and pretty much all formats and I am very used to foobar, so something like...

What kind of headphones have you had in the past? Do you have anything to compare it to? Sounds good though.

Id say if you want something like the RS2s but dont wanna shell out so much cash, go for SR225. The 225s are very smooth and not as harsh as the 325i can be. Plus, they sound closer to RS2 than 325 would.
