Hey guys, please share any impressions and updates about this exciting upcoming portable STAX driver! (I don't feel like searching through all the STAX forums in the future for this info :confounded:, just so it's all in one place).

Hello guys, sorry basically a beginner in DIY, but anyways here's the story: I just purchased an old amp, and there is a distracting hum on the left channel. I was told that this could be because the capacitors "dried out". Now this hum is present on my HD558 and 650 (but less so), however on my...

I have an old Channel Islands VHP-1 amp and when I measure its DC Offset it's very close to 0v, showing 0.0 mV on my multimeter.

Hi, I was just wondering if there were any manufacturers of planar magnetic headphones in the under-$500 dollar range. other than fostex, oppo, audeze, monoprice and hifiman.

Since I haven't seen a thread for these. I thought I would start us off. So what are your guys' impressions? :)

Hey guys! I noticed this interesting looking headphone on Kickstarter and was wondering what people thought about it. Or if anyone gets an early demo, please share your impressions!!!
