Yeah. NVDA is the stock symbol for Nvidia. Wearing this today.

Wearing this one again. Today.

Here’s my latest. It’s a micro brand called Charlie Paris and this one is their Initial Calendrier model and sports a Miyota 9122 movement. Picked this up at their boutique in Paris over the New Years holiday.

You have a nice collection of clean good-looking watches.

Long term update. I haven’t used these much over the past few years as I’ve really been enjoying my Sennheiser HD598 cs and Phillips Fidelio X2HR cans. The DIY cans do not hold up to the other two. Today I decided to play around with some felt to try to improve the ‘mushy’ bass and get rid of...

Thank you! Yes I did build this one. It’s using an NH36. This was my second attempt at DIY in watches. My first is this one I call my KugeFlieger and uses a NH35…not very creative with the naming.

My KugelDiver.

I bet you that Ichiban can hear whatever music you are listening to just fine with those ears; even when you have your closed-back cans on.

Since the case is aluminum, how do you avoid/minimize getting scratches and dings? It’s a really nice looking watch; but I think I would end up babying it because of the softness of the case.

We bring these critters into our lives full knowing it’s for far too short a time…but then we do it again…and again…we can only hope to give them the best lives we can and enjoy them while they let us. Sorry about your pup.

Three of my favorites.

What mud?

My post here in this thread: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/philips-fidelio-x2.723025/page-957#post-15940653 Was pretty easy. My Fiio Q1MK II has plenty of power to run it.

Me Trev said: “Seriously… the two things that pop into my head are: either find a grommet that'll fit into the adapter holes, or use a piece of tubing <heck even heat shrink or a tape wrapping> over the pegs to try and tighten things up.” I would try the heat shrink tubing, electrical tape or...

That is kind of the path that lead me the the X2HR. I was a speaker guy before I got into head phones and had been using some $20 SkullCandy earbuds for music on the rare occasion I wanted music w/o bothering everybod else in the house. I also DX radio and was using a pair of Panasonic RP-HTX7...

I posted a thread on them awhile ago. Click on the gallery link in first post to see pics. They are pretty cheesy-looking but sound similar to the X2HR but with a little less low-end and not quite as clear. It was a fun project though. Kugellager’s DIY cans. John ];’)

I have been using the Fiio Q1MK II with them as well as my HD598 CS and a set of diy open back headphones I built, all of which I use balanced. All of them use the Senn balanced wiring at the jack. They all sound better with a little amplification. John ];’)

Yep. Fun afternoon project. John ];’)

What’s wrong with this picture? John ];’)

You might be able to use a 2.5 mm TRRS cable that is made for Astell and Kern or some Onkyo DACs. Here is a link I found awhile back when I was looking for Audio Connector Pinouts when making my own cables. Go down to the the first 2.5 mm TRRS connector to see some compatible pinouts. John ];')

Are you referring to the Fantasia balanced cable? I read on here and other places where people had quality issues with that cable. The first thing I did when received the cable was check it for continuity and that the TRRS pin assignments on the cable matched the Sennheiser 598 pinout. So with...

So here is my first attempt at a DIY over-ear and open back headphone. I started with this empty ice cream container to make the cups. The headband and the 3 drivers per side were scavenged from other headphones/earbuds. The covering on the headband is faux suede from a pair of old boots of...
