Hey, guys! I just purchased a Schitt Asgard 2. It came in today, and I finally got around to hooking it up. Now, I have an insane amount of hum coming from my headphones. I'm not exactly sure that it's 60 hertz, but it seems like what I've experienced before. The PIMETA that I have been using...

Hi guys, I've been out of the game for a long time. This modest setup has been with me for quite some time, but I think it's time for a change. I want to focus on my computer rig for now as I spend most of my time in my bedroom listening through headphones.   I currently have the following...

What do you guys do with them? I do not have any sort of need for them as I have never sent a package in my life. Even if I did occasionally use them, I have three trash bags full. It said that UPS takes them, but when I did a search by my state, there were no UPS stations listed in the area...

I woke up early this morning and moved to the couch so I would wake up in case UPS came knocking early. Around 10 o'clock, I looked outside at the snow and noticed a big box out on the porch. Hmm... They did come early, but they must not have knocked or something. Anyways, I opened them up like...

I just got my Pioneer PL-512 today. USPS left it in 20 degree weather on my front porch for about five hours. To my chagrin, the dust cover is busted crazy around the hinges. I can't really do anything about that, though. Anyways, onto the actual questions. It doesn't actually have a needle...

-Edit- I just renamed this thread instead of making a new one. I have been scouring the internet for several hours now and haven't found anything worthwhile. I have found some amazing speaker designs, but I have no idea if my Marantz 2235B will power them. Does anyone know of a good speaker...

Well, my roommate is looking to get a 42" TV for the living room. Since I cannot really just go in with him for a TV since it will have to go with one of us when we move out, I was thinking of getting a nice speaker setup. I am not expecting to get awesome speakers, but I would like to get a...

I have been out of the headphone game pretty much since I bought my K81DJs around two years ago. Anyways, backed with a nice college refund check, I am thinking it is time to reward myself. I would like to keep it around $200-300, but I might be flexible with that. For the headphones, I don't...

Well, as most of you know, ATT bought at Cellular One. I have had Cell One for a year and loved the service. It was reasonably priced, and I never once went over the minutes. Now my phone is broken beyond repair, and ATT is trying to get me to switch over to them. The plan is going to be $10...

Alright, my friend and I are in a little argument. He basically makes fun of me for encoding my music in FLAC, because "it is pointless." He said that his DJ friend has been around people that master CDs, and they only master them with 160kbps. He said ripping them in anything over 160kbps is...

I have spent a few hours searching the forums, but the results are broad and limited on this subject. I don't know where else to turn to though. Whenever I get tired of headphones, I switch over to my RCA Stereo Receiver which, needless to say, sounds pretty lousy. As a side hobby, I like wood...

Well, there is no place around to audition headphones at all so that is out of the question. I think I will really like the Grado signature, but I have heard a lot of people saying that you should skip the 225s and go straight for the 325i. I do not have enough money for that, so I am trying to...

Once every couple hours, the left channel will make an electrical noise. Don't laugh: "unk ugga unk ugga unk." My crappy home stereo does the exact same thing. Has anyone experienced this with the card? I want to see if anyone has the same problem, because I want to make sure it isn't the amp...

The title says it all. I have two options in mind. I can get some SR-225s or DT770/80. I am also open to new suggestions. I mostly listen to rock. My favorite bands are currently The Mars Volta, Coheed and Cambria, Dream Theater, and A Perfect Circle, but I also like to mellow out to Pink Floyd...

Well, I recently sold my 2g nano, because I had thoughts of getting a 3g or classic iPod. Anyways, the recent threads about the new iPods have gotten me a little worried. Keep in mind that I do not listen to portables that much. I have about a half hour bus ride and listen to it in school every...

My dad has a Teac PD-325 and a Quasar CR 19. The only thing that I have for CD listening is my less than desirable RCA stereo. I also like the idea of being able to play my mom's old records on the Quasar, but is it worth the hassle? Also, would the Teac be suitable for listening to CDs through...

I am at GHA, and one of my teachers has a problem for us to figure out. He doesn't give any hints. Anytime I ask him anything about it, he won't say anything. I do not have a picture, but I tried my best at a paint picture. There are two regular house lights enclosed in a normal wall...

I just got my new neutrik NP3X-B in today, but I am dumbfounded on how this thing works. It has that blue thing inside, and I just do not know what to do. I have tried different ways of sticking it on, but it just doesn't seem to work. I downloaded the neutrik manual, but it doesn't tell me...

My little cousin knows that I can make headphone amps now, so he is wanting me to make him a guitar amp that he could hook onto his belt and play. I thought about just using a standard CMOY type config with a single channel chip, but I thought I should ask for suggestions on here. Anyone...

I am recasing my pimeta and giving it a blue velvet pot, but I have ran into a problem. There is a hiss in the headphones. When I turn the board over, it almost completely goes away, and it only seems to exist in the mid range of the pot. I have the pot grounded and all offsets are within range...

I placed over $100 in orders last night from SVC, Markertek, and Mouser. Well, I forgot one thing: the 1/8" heatshrink. I have it on my list of things to buy right beside of me, but I forgot. I would hate to have to order again and incur the $5.00 shipping fee so I was wondering if anywhere...

I have heard of people using a DPDT switch to get rid of the power down offset. Can anyone elaborate on how this is done? I had asked this before but nobody had been able to give me a solid answer. I know that it needs to drain the caps straight to the ground channel instead of through the...

I will not be moving my amp or anything so should I just do dry transfer or should I send them to FPE? If I were to use FPE, can anyone walk to me through the process? How much does it cost? Do you have to send the end panels in yourself? Anyone have any links to some good dry transfers?

I have a couple of projects sitting in front of me that I need to finish, but I have a couple of questions. I want to know what you all would do with them. I will give a little incite, but I do not know what I am wanting for the most part. Pimeta: I have the ALPS RK097 as my Potentiometer...

My aunt obtained a Roland JX-10 for free because it had 5 dead keys. I simply cleaned the PCB with alcohol and cleaned the keys and now everything is fine except for one thing. The transformer is making a loud screeching noise so I plan to replace it. The transformer says something like 100V/31V...
