    bumping my own message. Has anyone an idea on how to remove the original mmcx on version 1 ? Thanks in advance! Hi Guys. I need your help :) I had a very bad issue with the left side of the phones basically producing very bad distortion. I have opened the cans and I tried to solder a cable...

    Hi Guys. I need your help :) I had a very bad issue with the left side of the phones basically producing very bad distortion. I have opened the cans and I tried to solder a cable directly to the driver to bypass the mmcx. It ... did not work ... same results ... so I decided to unsolder the...

    Tried already a different cable with exact same behavior so I am positive that the issue is with the cup side of things :-(

    I am so pissed. After a few pluging / unplugging I started to have the left connector issue ... I tried the squeezer trick but no luck at all ... Very strange behaviour now ... on my phone sounds looks almost if the left cup was saturating (??) and on my desk nfb-11 it is like it felt a very...

    Audio-GD NFB-11.32 & NFB-11 (2014) (Delivery & Impression Thread)!!!

    Received my unit today and I truly like them :-) The switch on the back is for cutting the amp when no signal is received (in order to leave it always on if you wanted to do so) I would be interested as well on opinions between the low and high gain. I have the impression that the mids are...

    Interesting. Either the pair he got is clearly defective or I have incredibly different taste for headphones ... as mentionned so many times here ... my god this hobby is so subjective :-)

    Grrrrr I need to swap pads then ... but paying 144usd for the audeze pads here is very difficult to swallow :-( On a side note mine arrived without connectors issues and no wood cracks to date (ok only 24h out of the box ! It is not super dry here so let's see). I say. I wood cracks because the...

    Yes better sound stage on the 1060. The highs , yes I find the ones on the 400i clearer.. brighter but a bit more agressive as well. I need to do more testing. Sorry for not being very clear as I answer walking out my dog while listening to my 1060 directly from my iPhone. Not bad at all ! Ps...

    I will need to do some more serious A/B testing with the 400i but for now I can clearly tell you already that the bass are way better, stronger and more extended on the 1060. The mids are different .. and as mentionned this nasal sound to some voice is not super to my taste.. the highs are less...

    Finally arrived yesterday! Ready to start testing :-) for now I like them quite a bit but their is some nasal effect on voices that I don't like... I think I did read someone mentioning the same with a way to attenuate it ?

    I need as well alternatives for the audeze pads. You feel that 65usd is a rip off ? What if I tell you that the same audez pads are being sold for around 140USD here !!! Shipping from the states will double the price as well...

    Of curiosity, for this specific cable, how much did she charge you ? if her prices are good she may get a few orders from this tread only lol (At least Audeze will as well get some income on their pads it looks like ;))

    I did order them maybe a couple of hours after they have been available and I am still waiting for them to be delivered !!! (EU ... and very disappointing eBay global shipping program ...) They entered the country and passed customs already so I should get them by Monday I assume :(

    It looks very much like we are soon reaching 100% of cracked phones in this forum at least ... Mine are still somewhere in Indiana waiting for ebay to forward the shipment to EU ... but it looks more and more probable that they will reach me pre-cracked :( With VAT, import fees and...

    I would not worry yet. If he bought them like me from eBay using their Global Shipping Program, he pre-paid already the import taxes together with the shipping like I did. I my case the total bill for shipment + taxes was around 75 USD if I remember right but I leave in CH and our VAT is only 8%...

    Actually I do own already a 400i (and a TH-X00, a HD650 and a few others ...) so I will be happy to provide my impression when my 1060 reaches me (I am in Europe so it may take a bit more time ...)

    Hi ! Thanks for the input but I am confused by what you actually use these days :) when you say that you are happy to have just jumped to "End Game" headphone amp I assume you dont refer to the magni ?

    I am sorry to ask another variation of a common question here but I am really hesitating between the combo Vali2 + modi 2 multibit (418USD) VS the Jotenheim with balanced DAC (499USD) ...    My questions:  - which one would you choose ? - is the modi 2 multibit version really worth the extra...
