I have an Audio GD R2R-11 (which is only single ended) tomorrow, and almost all of my cables for my Audeze / ZMF cans are balanced. I purchased a 4-pin XLR female to 3.5mm TRS adapter from Amazon the other day but when it arrived they'd sent me the 3.5mm TRRS version. Can I safely use this...

Looking for someone who might be interested in modding a set of HIFIMAN HE500 for me if possible. The main thing is be looking for are wood cups, grill (right now I do have a self-modded grill on them) and possibly the fuzzor mod (which I could probably do myself...but I'm just not sure I've...

I , for one love my Mimby, and it does have the newest AD firmware chip installed (rev.2). The TEAC, as much as I like having a fully balanced dac, hasn't been getting much use since I received it (it's still in mint condition as well). I've considered an Eitr to possibly step up the Mimby's...

I decided to do the grill mod on my HE500, and used the directions listed here on Head-Fi to the t as I was very worried I might make a mistake if I didn't. The mods went just fine and the new grills press-fit in extremely well; I also added a very, very thin layer of acrylic (pantyhose, really)...

I don't know or understand what has happened, but I get no sound using any type of output. This change just happened within the past two days. I do get sound using any other music player (Windows Media Player, MPC, VLC, etc) but I have a huge music library and pretty much prefer Foobar if...

I'm using a Little Bear MC3 with the TEAC UD-301 I received a couple of weeks ago from another Reddit user (one I know only sells / trades gear that works, plus I've traded with him before as well). I have my Modi Multibit / Loki EQ running through it and connected to a Loxjie P20; that's my...

I recently received a pair of Audeze Sine DX in a trade, and purchased 3D adapters and over-the-ear earpads for them. I like the sound of them (though I'm dealing with what I guess is driver flex in the right ear; I've emailed Audeze about this and am awaiting a response) and love their...

I've got everything ready to solder here; I'm reterminating my HE500 cable made by Best In Verse Cables so I can use my balanced amps with them. I have a pretty decent picture / diagram showing me what needs to go to what pin. But I'm having trouble understanding which wires are positive and...

Anyone here willing to share any links to well-priced resistors and capacitors? I've looked over the main sites I normally look for things (Amazon, eBay, Ali Express, Mouser, etc) but I seem to be having some trouble finding the specific ones I'm needing. I'm looking for: Nichicon Muse or KZ...

I wasn't sure where to post this; I hope this is the right section. Anyways, I'm trying to find someone that might be willing to mod my AKG K712 Pro headphones to work with my balanced amplifiers. If possible, I'd like the cable to be detachable as well. If anyone is interested and has some...

I'm trying to reterminate a cable made by Periapt Cables. It's their Type-8 cable, and for whatever reason the male XLR connector that came on the cable (bought second-hand) had an end on it that flaired out like a bell and was too big to fit either of my amps. So I've got a new male XLR 4-Pin...

To make a long story short, I traded a pair of earphones for another set to someone about two months ago. Being completely and totally upfront, I explained to this person that the only items being traded were the earpieces of the iems, and they also told me not include a cable (which I offered)...

I'm soon to be trying to connect a Loxjie P20 balanced tube amp to either my Modi Multibit or my Modi 3. I know neither of these are balanced dac, so I'm probably about to get a Sonifex UB-RL1 unbalanced to balanced converter as well. What I need to know is the cables I'll need to do all of...

Can anyone tell me if these setups are safe and won't damage my equipment (specifically the amps)? I ask because I read earlier that using certain adapter cables can damage your stuff; just want to make sure I don't do that, lol. Here's what I'm normally using: Hiby R3 - iFi Nano Black Label...

Anyone here that could possibly repair my LZ A4s? I have no sound in the right earpiece, and I've tried two different cables with them. I'd gladly pay anyone that could fix them.

Anyone here have any experience fixing earphones? I just purchased a used pair of LZ A4s off of eBay, and the right earpiece won't put out any sound at all. I have no soldering or electronics repair skills, so I thought I'd ask here. I'd gladly pay someone to fix this for me if possible.

Just wondering how these two stack up against one another?

I'm not sure if this post is in the right place or not, but I could use some advice on something. I purchased a DAP on the Trading section of the board from another user (depending on what I'm advised to do I'll be happy to give the user name). The DAP was paid for last Friday, as the seller...

Can any HE-500 owners describe to me what their soundstage looks / sounds like? Specifically instrument placement? I ask because with my pair, it seems in some songs that less is coming from the left side. But I can't tell if it's a volume thing. I tried really good online hearing test and...

I have a chance to get either of these, with the Austrian version being $50 more. From what I've read, there's no difference in sound quality or construction. Maybe I just have it in my head for some reason that the Austrian version is somehow "better", lol. But saving $50 helps me quite a...

I've been trying to use a Topping NX5 with my IEMS and smartphone (Galaxy S9+). For some reason, whenever I do use it the volume output is even lower than without it. The IEMs I'm using are the Tin T2 and the Revonext QT2s. Anyone know what the deal might be? Both of those earphones are...

Does anyone happen to know the size / type of screw used on the removable bottom part of the FIIO e12 DIY? I recently bought one, but it was missing one of these and I'd like to replace it.

I have the opportunity to get either of these at decent prices (both $300-$400). The 500s are used, of course; the 560s are brand new and are the newer V3 version. I've heard so many good things about the 500 sound. But the 560s are new and a little cheaper. My main concern is that if I did...

I recently made my 15th post and have something to list in the classifieds section of the site (Portable Amplification). But for some reason it still tells me that I have insufficient privileges to make a post there. Am I doing something wrong?
