Thanks tom for the invaluable kits that are close to effortless to build.

Thats a really nice DAC loserica!

  Finally got around to making a CIEM cable.

And a reminder to all building the torpedo! Ground the ALPS RK27 before soldering on the OTs! Had a small issue with it as my screw driver wasn't small enough, and had a tough time putting on the ground wire.

yeah! i realized you sent me 2 nuts short. I had to use 2 stand offs for the choke and improvise for the rest.

Just built the Torpedo in 6 hours, worked the first time I powered it up. Initial impressions are really good. Setup as follows. AL88XX optical out > AMB y1 DAC > DIY Belden, Switchcraft Mini to Neutrik Profi RCAs > Torpedo with Mogami Power cable/Cryoed Oyaide IEC plug/GE 5844s > HD600/1964...

sorry double post.

hi n_maher, is that a stepped attenuator? what brand is that? looks pretty neat.

Just a question. If I were to use 250VDC for the paraders caps. Will be enough?

sweet. i might order myself a torpedo soon.

would the torpedo drive a lcd-2 properly?

hi guys, i know the bijou is different in design, but i would like to ask if anyone has listened to both of them?

Quote: Canare quads are generally pretty good. I did my first cabling with it and it gave my SR60s some warmth that they needed. :)

sorry if i didnt put it clearly enough. i just wanted to warn you regarding solid core wires for headphone recabling because i recabled my KSC75s with the mundorf silver/gold wires (26awg) and they snap so often it wasnt viable to use them anymore.

hey darin, microphonics are not more pronounced with stranded. i never had this issue. you have to be careful for single core wires tho. if you are using thin gauges be wary of breakages.

oh wow thanks hifitunes, exactly what i was looking for.

thanks muzo, was wondering if theres any one thats not rounded and doesnt say UE.

Hi guys, I was thinking of making my own CIEM cables but I am not sure where can I get ready made connectors (the connectors that connect to the customs). I was wondering if anyone had a source for a partly molded one.

I almost tried to recase my Bijou in an old Sun server. Pity my boss didn't allow me to bring it home.

HD600 has less bass, same quality but just more controlled. Maybe slightly more impact.

@anoxy: i could give you a brief rundown tho. I came from my previous set of 'customs', a pair of reshelled UE Super.Fi 5 EBs.   VS Remoulded 5EBs : They sound similar but with lesser bass (more controlled) better mids and highs. Overall frequencies have more extension and the sound staging...

  Hi guys, just got my V6 for a little less than over a day. Initial impressions are really impressive. I'll check in after I've clocked more time on them plus burn in.

Anastasia said they should have shipped last week, but only did this week :( Well I hope it'll be shipped fast to my side of the globe.
