Just wondering if anyone knows if the DV337 has a universal transformer (dual primary setup).  I've recently moved to a 230V country and currently have my amp at the office running off of a step down transformer.  I'd like to just rewire it, but all my tools are at home and I was hoping someone...

So I've recently been bitten by the DIY bug and have started construction on a couple of tube amps and preamps via some kits of found at diyaudio.com. Things are going well so far (haven' blown anything up, burned anything down, or electrocuted anything) but I have a small problem. I love the...

Alright... I've finally succumbed to the siren song of the DIY world and am going to try my hand at my own little Single-ended tube amp. I've purchased the following board: Simple SE and am ready to dive in (almost). Anyway, I know this is not a Headphone amp but I hope you'll still be...

I'm the proud owner of the DV 337 and have been very pleased with it overall. I've had fun rolling tubes into it and am pretty sure I'm set with what I've got (Tung Sol 5998's and some Tung Sol mesh plates for the drivers). I'm just curious if any Darkvoice owners out there have modded their...

So I'm not a technical expert by any means, but I'm curious as to whats the difference between a dual mono design (like my Darkvoice 337) and a balanced amp. My amp seems to be "balanced" in every way, right down to dual power cords, dual power switchs, and dual volume knobs. So... for...

I'm wondering if anyone out there has any info on if/when we can expect a balanced option from Woo Audio. I emailed Jack a couple of months back and he said he had lots of interest in something like this (I'm assuming from Head-fiers) and that he is working on developing something. All I could...

Just wondering if anyone has any experience building step up/down transformers. I'm going to be moving to Germany and taking my US spec gear with me and need to find some quality transformers to keep the tunes playing. If anyone is interested in building some, or knows a good place to source...

I'm looking for an iPod dock that will work with my 5.5G iPod (NON iMod) and I'm looking for something pretty basic. I don't need any exotic woods, hand filled, and loaded with pure gold everything. All I need is AC charging and RCA outputs. I don't need any supper expensive caps, super...

I'm looking for an iPod dock that I can set on my desk that holds my 5.5G iPod upright and has the ability to charge my iPod and output a true lineout through some RCA outputs. Any suggestions? I know ALO makes one and S2 Audio makes one but they are just way more than I want to spend. For...

SORRY FOR THE CROSS POST. ACCIDENTLY PUT IN THE AMP SECTION. So I'm considering diving into the STAX world and am wondering if some of you veterans can give me insight for a newbie. My current favorite setup is my HD650's with my Darkvoice 337 (NOS Tung Sol 5998's in the front and NOS Tung...

So I'm considering diving into the STAX world and am wondering if some of you veterans can give me insight for a newbie. My current favorite setup is my HD650's with my Darkvoice 337 (NOS Tung Sol 5998's in the front and NOS Tung Sol 6SJ7GT mesh plates in the back) has served me very well...

Just wondering if anyone has modded the 6G 160Gb iPod to change the headphone out to a line out. I really hate having a dock sticking out of my iPod and would rather just run a mini cable out the top. Any experience?

I bought a used iMod a while back and it was full of music when I got it. I pulled all the music off the iMod and put it on my hard drive (show hidden files, copy, paste to hard drive). Well, I got all the music, but the file names and folders are all screwed up. I have a bunch of F00, F01...

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the Pacific Valve Lite DAC 68. I am looking for a nice DAC with balanced outputs and wouldn't mind a little tube goodness (but not a requirement). I've got some nice NOS 6922 tubes (which is what drew me to this in the first place) but can't seem...

I know the Zero has gotten a lot of press around here so I thought I might try my hand at a review of my newly acquired Yulong DAH1 mark. I received this handy little device through a fortunate accident and decided to keep it. I had ordered the Darkvoice 337 from audiophilechina.com and 4...

Just wondering if anyone has tried the CIA DAC with the Squeezebox; I'm interested in upgrading my digital front end and thought this might be an interesting combination. I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts or impressions.

So I really have no place in this forum because I can't DIY anything, but I thought some of you guys might be able to assist with a question. I have a Woo Audio WA6 and I would like to increase the gain. I would just send it back to Jack at Woo Audio for him to do it but I live in Tokyo and...

I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what it would take to increase the output voltage of an iPod/iMod. I've already emailed RWA to get Vinnie's opinion (waiting for a response) but wonder if anyone else has tried this. I ask because I don't think I'm really getting what I should out of my amp...

So I've recently completed some transactions with Brent Jesse at BRENT JESSEE RECORDING HOMEPAGE and let me tell you, he runs his shop the way a business should be run. HIGHLY Recommended. I bought a couple of sets of NOS tubes on his recommendation (he has a huge selection) and after they...

So my WA3 just arrived today (the mods on this thing are pretty close, if not exactly the same as the WA3+) and I'm trying it out with my AKG K701's. I use a 5.5G iPod as a source with Signal Cable cables. I also own the X-can v3 and have been doing some A/Bing between the two. So how does it...

I posted this question in the iMod & VCAP thread but it is probably buried a little too deep in there for anyone to see it. So, what I'm wondering is what you guys are using to transport all this gear. I'm considering the iMod with portable VCAP dock to go along with my Hornet but I'm not...

So I've been researching and really considering jumping on board the Grado train. I currently use the K701's and am looking for something different (as a companion). I am thinking about the Alessandro MS-2 (or its Grado equivilant) or if I can find a nice used pair, the RS-2. Lots of people seem...

So I've got 300 bucks burning a hole in my Paypal account and I'm wondering where I should spend it for the most bang for my buck. I'm running a 5.5G iPod as my source into an X-can v3 to some AKG K-701s for my home rig. I'm using the same iPod into a RSA Hornet and some Shure e4s for my...

I've been using my X-can v3 for about 6 months now and while I don't find that it does anything wrong, it hasn't really made me feel the love yet either. I just don't find it that involving/special. I'm listening to it through some AKG 701's. So, what do you guys recommend to help get a...

I've been the proud owner of some 701's, purchased from a head-fier, and have been enjoying them. While I have no plans to get rid of them, I'm thinking of adding another pair of something else to th stable. So, what do you guys recommend? I run my iPod through my X-can v3 for home use and...
