    Hagerman Audio Labs "Tuba"

    I submitted the updates as well today so it should be reflected shortly on Headphonesty. Also added notes regarding the now disabled crossfeed circuit and availability of walnut panels. Cheers!

    Hagerman Audio Labs "Tuba"

    [The design is reminiscent of retro laboratory or industrial equipment. It’s a heavy dark grey steel case with minimal white lettering and a pointed plastic knob. The look is aggressively understated. No polished wood, no polished aluminum, and a bare minimum of switches and controls, means that...

    Hagerman Audio Labs "Tuba"

    Can I link my review on Headphonesty? I had a pre-wood panel version from Jim. Although they look so good I had to create my own panels. :) https://www.headphonesty.com/2019/07/review-hagerman-audio-labs-tuba-headphone-amplifier/

    "Millett Hybrid" redux: NuHybrid headphone amp, using the Korg Nutube

    Wrote up my build log with tips, tricks and info as an article for Headphonesty if anyone is interested. Designed to be a one stop shop for info. If anyone thinks I missed anything important, just let me know!

    "Millett Hybrid" redux: NuHybrid headphone amp, using the Korg Nutube

    A few updates to my build. Copper lined the case to combat RFI. Installed a Khadas Tone Board DAC internally (which of course required fabricating a new rear panel). Added a yellow power LED for the DAC on the right side of the front panel to balance the amp power LED. Overall I’m really...

    "Millett Hybrid" redux: NuHybrid headphone amp, using the Korg Nutube

    Just about finished it up this Easter morning. I like the internal power supply and the overall shape of the box.

    Ok. Screwed up the pics. On my phone damnit. Note this is just a test fit.

    "Millett Hybrid" redux: NuHybrid headphone amp, using the Korg Nutube

    Thanks Pete! Board arrived a few days ago. Assembled that afternoon! Power supply works well. Designed a hardwood case that will hold both boards. Aluminum stock will be used for front and back panels. Now my question is, does a classy nutube badge exist for purchase? Or perhaps a Pete...

    "Millett Hybrid" redux: NuHybrid headphone amp, using the Korg Nutube

    I've got one of these cheapo Chinese 24v power supplies kicking around. Any concerns with it working with this? Noise or something else I haven't considered?

    Anyone know what happened to SpinAF? Website and social media seems to be MIA.

    Sugru works well to secure drivers. Black looks professional and is semi permanent - removable if desired but won’t come out on its own.

    For anyone interested, just got an email tonight that the Symphones V8's are on sale this week for 30% off. Great sounding driver if you haven't heard it.

    Grado modders go Magnum

    This was my take: In back to back, A-B testing, the V8 is a noticeable improvement over the V7. It is smoother, more balanced and exhibits greater control. The V7 driver could get a bit loose with deep bass tracks and this is essentially resolved with the V8. The midrange steps back a little...

    Grado modders go Magnum

    I had spoken quite extensively with Adhi at Rholupat before Christmas, but as of late he isn't returning my messages. I had a question regarding the fit, as it mentions they aren't quite the same as stock. Anyone heard from him lately or purchased anything?

    Oh! Clever! I was looking for headphone specific parts. Thanks! Didn’t think of hair bands.

    I had a bugger of a tube finding a suitable replacement inner spring steel band. Can you share who has got bands to fit?

    I’ve never heard of CCL before. The products look nice. Not much info on their page, but Chrome offers to translate from Russian. Where are they located? Btw. In talking with Przem from Shipibo lately, the rod blocks and gimbals should be up for sale fairly soon.

    Review by 'TravAndAlex' on item 'Shipibo Audio Padded Leather Headbands, Wooden Cups, Aluminum Rod Blocks, and Aluminum Gimbals'

    Shipibo Audio Padded Leather Headbands, Wooden Cups, Aluminum Rod Blocks, and Aluminum Gimbals for Grado Shipibo Audio included two headbands for review, one padded slightly thicker than the other (the wide comfort model).

    Shipibo Audio Padded Leather Headbands, Wooden Cups, Aluminum Rod Blocks, and Aluminum Gimbals

    Industrial art is thriving right now. In the technology world, Apple’s unqualified successful metal and glass marvels have designs that harken back to the silver-faced stereo gear of the 1970’s. When placed side by side with black plastic alternatives, it’s easy to see what most people will...
